Daredevil Message Board

[Guardian-Devil]

Given that the character rights of Matthew Murdock, aka Daredevil, recently reverted from Fox Studios to Marvel Studios, Feige was then asked about potential plans for The Man Without Fear.

“There comes a time in contracts where, if a studio is done making the movies, [the characters] come home,� he explained. “That doesn’t mean we’re going to make another movie. But it means they’re back in the fold, which is where we want them to be.�

This is why I wasn't ecstatic about the rights reverting in the first place. Anyone who still believes Marvel will make a DD movie after reading this is kidding themselves. He's basically said that there are no plans for the character at all. The Devil's luck.

Ya I got to agree, that doesn't sound too promising. I doubt that we will be seeing a DD movie in the foreseeable future any time soon, maybe even ever it sounds like.

He will probably go into the limbo beside the Iron Fist movie we we're supposed to get 10 years ago.

I still have hope that someday they will get around to making a decent Daredevil movie though after they are done with all the Avengers and their tie in movies, but I won't hold my breath on it.

Kevin Feige said what we all knew : Daredevil has just returned to Marvel and the phase 2 has already been planned since the first avengers movie and so we won't see him in any capacity (except if they use him in the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series) during that phase.
Who thought otherwise ? Noone !

but he also said two important things that aren't mentionned here :

http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/176645-exclusive-superherohype-chats-with-marvel-prez-kevin-feige

Feige: Well we want to at least get “Avengers 2� filming, and that will be filming early next year and at that point, we’ll start to consider Phase 3 and 2016 and beyond, but we’ve been deep into Phase 2 now for a couple of years. I went back and looked at some of the earliest “Iron Man 3� and they go back to when we were doing additional photography on “Captain America: The First Avenger� and Shane Black came in when we were on the mix stage of “Captain America� to have our initial “Iron Man 3� meetings but that was two years ago. With “Iron Man 3� getting into theaters into 7 hours as you say, “Thor� is cutting right now in our editing rooms here at the studio and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier� is filming here at the studio. “Guardians of the Galaxy� is prepping and starts filming in about 8 weeks in London, and Joss is working on his draft of “The Avengers 2� here in L.A. and that will start prepping in late summer/early fall. And Edgar (Wright) has been in and out of the offices as he finishes up his latest film and starts his rewrites on the “Ant-Man� script to get prepping on that before the end of the year as well. So Phase 2 is very much keeping us busy. (laughs)

Believe it or not but phase 3 is not planned beyond "Ant Man". They want to focus on avengers 2 before anything. So it will be possible to see Daredevil after Ant Man (I have not said a Daredevil movie, but an appearance in a movie, and maybe an important one)

because Feige mentionned also :

SHH: Is there a way to bring Daredevil and street crime into this current world or is that too far off from what we’ve already seen?

Feige: No, I think that frankly would be easy. We’re still exploring the stuff that’s not as easy, which is we’ve been to Asgard, we’ve been through the Bifrost. We peeked a little bit through that portal at the end of the Avengers and now obviously in “Thor: The Dark World� and particularly in “Guardians of the Galaxy� we’re going full bore through that portal to literally the other side of the Marvel Universe, the entire universe, to explore the cosmic side of our characters and our storylines. That I think we’ve only still experienced the surface of that, and there’s much more to be done there.

So Feige, who still things "Phase 2", said that "It would be easy" to include Daredevil in the MCU, so...

That being said, I think that after the "incredible Hulk" debacle, Marvel is very cautious with introducing characters used by other studios before them. They tested Ruffalo in Avengers and there wasn't any Hulk movie during Phase 2. After Ruffalo proved himself popular in Avengers, Feige began to say "maybe will we have another Hulk movie in Phase 3"

So, to be honest, I think that DD will be tested in another movie(s) before any solo movie. But I am not completely pessimistic because, since Spiderman and Wolverine are in other studios, there is no A lister left in Marvel, and Daredevil, even being the B lister that he is, is now the biggest street level hero they have. Once Marvel will prepare the street level phase (the question is "when"), Daredevil will be one of the first (if not the first) to be seen.

There is also a statement from Feige that goes...

"Whenever a character comes back to us," he explained, "it's usually because the other studios don't want to make the movies anymore - and that usually means the [previous] movies may not have been particularly well-received."

...an answer to a question about Ghost Rider coming back to Marvel. I read that article this morning. But for the life of me, I can't find it now on Entertainment Weekly's website.

3 things...

a. The Daredevil movie was a success (or at least well received), hence the Elektra movie was made. Now Elektra, that is the one that sucked!

b. Speaking of things that sucked. The two Ghost Rider movies did.

and c. The other studio, here being Fox, wanted to make a Daredevil movie. It just did not pan out.

See now how this statement is not about Daredevil?

But I would not hold my breath to see any Daredevil on screen. Despite the fact that nothing has been planned beyond Ant-Man for Phase 3.

I almost feel that what they currently have on their plate, these movies, need to suck first before they would explore other avenues.

^ In regards to the Fox things, yes, it's possible that Marvel predicted that DD would end up back in their hands anyway.

Maybe the street heroes will be introduced after Phase 3 then. I do like the majority of Marvel's casting and director choices. Chris Pratt for Guardians of the Galaxy? I absolutely love that.

Fingers crossed DD will have his second chance someday. (Maybe then I'll be married with kids lol)
