What do you guys think of ROME actor Kevin McKidd for the role of Matt Murdock/Daredevil?

He's my new favorite pick.

Some interesting background info is that McKidd's ROME co-star, Ray Stevenson, was originally approached by Marvel to play "Abomination" in THE INCREDIBLE HULK. When that didn't pan out, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige suggested Stevenson to PUNISHER: WAR ZONE director, Lexi Alexander, for the role of Frank Castle/The Punisher.

Since last year, Kevin McKidd has been rumored for the role of Thor for a solo movie. McKidd later commented that he believed Marvel was going in a different direction (younger actor) for the part and seemed to no longer be in the running. If FOX/Marvel were to reboot the DD franchise, what's to say Feige, as executive producer, wouldn't re-recommend another talented ROME actor for the title role? Perhaps that actor could be Kevin McKidd?

We might as well bring back Ben Affleck...

They can do better than Josh H.

Guy Pearce is definitively an excellent choice. Too bad he doesn't seem to be interested in superhero movies (seeing the previous rumors of him in the nolan franchise)
And why all the hype Josh Harnett when a superhero role is available ? He's far from the caliber of Guy Pearce and looks like a teenager.

I have always wanted to see Guy Pearce as Matt eversince I saw LA Confidential years ago. But the guy veers away from superhero movies. So, if there is a God, I hope he puts Jason Behr or Josh Duhamel as Matt in a new DD movie.[http://imstars.aufeminin.com/stars/fan/jason-behr/jason-behr-20040816-7019.jpg] [/http://www.superstarcouples.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/josh_duhamel_.jpg] Actually, I won't mind seeing Ben Affleck back in the mantle. We just need an awwesome director. It's not like Christian Bale is the best Bruce Wayne/Batman right?

In my opinion, they need to stay away from big named stars. Vin Diesel would be 10 times worse than Ben Affleck and Josh Hartenet would be just as bad in the role as well.

For somebody to actually suggest Hartenet, you have either
A. Never read the comics
B. Never watched one his movies

His characteristic trait usually is being unsure of himself. Matt Murdock is quite the opposite.

Batman did an excellent job with this for Christian Bale. He's a movie star sure, but his fame didn't start to really pick up until he was Batman.

My selection,

Sean Bean. Despite being about 2 inches shy of 6 foot, he has the chops for wearing the mask and the build for the outfit. Bean is also an excellent actor. This is the closest pic I could find of him resembling Matt Murdock.

Best I could come up with for King Pin, James J. Gandolfini. He's not a particularly massive man but he is still big and atleast 6 foot and already familiar with portraying a mobster. Perhaps he could do some lifting for the part but I don't see it as a grand leap of faith for him to play the part.

My vote would be for Michael C. Hall
