Joe Carnahan Daredevil
There was a studio called 20th Century Fox that was the owner of the rights to a considerable number of Marvel Comics characters such as the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. One of the Marvel superheroes Fox also owned was Daredevil, a.k.a. blind lawyer Matt Murdock, who donned a demonic costume at night and terrorized the unsavory denizens of New York’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood with his enhanced other senses and ferocious fighting techniques.
As fans know, Fox attempted a movie based around Daredevil in 2003, starring Ben Affleck as the title character, Jennifer Garner as his love interest/sometime ally Elektra and Colin Farrell as his nemesis Bullseye. That movie didn’t go so well, either with fans or critics.But some eight or nine years later, with the rights collecting dust and finally about to revert back to Marvel (with the latter now a successful comic book movie studio on its own), Fox scrambled to get a new Daredevil movie off the ground before losing its grip on the character completely.
With literally weeks left, the studio recruited writer/director Joe Carnahan to make his best Daredevil pitch.Carnahan, known at the time for both the outlandish action of the 2010s The A-Team and the more existential survival drama of 2011’s The Grey, had a take on the Man Without Fear that he was itching to put on the screen: a gritty, ‘70s-style crime thriller that would heavily reference the classic Frank Miller run on the character in the comics during the 1980s.

His account is currently listed as “suspended. Fortunately, the project was revived in 2017, and Hulu snatched up the distribution rights last.
Joe Carnahan The Grey
