Taylor Kitsch as Daredevil?

  Will Taylor Kitsch trade in his John Carter loincloth for red leather and horns? Kitsch is reportedly being considered for Director David Slade’s reboot of Daredevil according to Movie Hole. The story is part of their hilarious feature on actors who nearly won super hero roles.

 Kitsch said he would like to play X-Man Gambit again but said it’s unlikely that would happen. The story says Xavier Samuel is under consideration too. Slade directed Samuel as the vampire Riley in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

  When I think of David Slade’s film (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night) I envision a dark and gritty Daredevil movie based on Frank Miller’s Born Again.

  If this report is true the studio seems to be going for a young Matt Murdock reboot like Sony did with Amazing Spider-Man. The tone may be different too. Mark Waid’s new take on Daredevil has been a critical and fan hit. I really love the artwork on the new title – especially this cover.

  Marvel and Chris Evans (Fantastic Four’s Johnny Storm, Captain America)proved you have movie magic twice with the same actor.

While this Daredevil story is just speculation – what do you think of the idea of Taylor Kitsch as Daredevil?

  The Dark Knight Rises brings Bane back on the big screen for Christopher Nolan’s final Batman film. Fans speculate that Bane will break the Bat like he did in the famous Knightfall storyline.

  Star Christian Bale apparently used another famous Batman story to prepare for his final film in the cape and cowl. Bale tells the New York Daily News that Batman: Year One by Frank Miller was crucial to understanding the role.

  “Suddenly, I found Batman has so many issues, he’s not a healthy individual, this is somebody that is doing good, but he’s right on the verge of doing bad,” Bale told the Daily News. “He’s got that killer within him that he’s desperately not trying to let off his leash. And that’s what I always return to.”
