Bottom: Aaron Eckhart, Viggo Mortensen, Eva Green, Mark Hamil
Matt Murdock –
Matthew Fox – I had others in the running…but then I saw
Speed Racer. And I swear if the Racer X costume had been red, I would've sworn I was watching Daredevil fight. I know Fox can handle the tormented dead father issue role, due to his
Party of Five experience…but it's his roles as of late that make me think he's more than capable of carrying a film as the lead. Millions of
Lost fans can't be wrong right?
Foggy Nelson –
Sean Astin – Not the bumbling comedic sidekick that many believe him to be. But instead, as DSF said, one of the most human and flawed characters in the book. Foggy is the anchor to Matt's sanity. And no one is more human and flawed than Rudy. Ru-dee! Ru-dee! Ru-dee!
Karen Page –
Katee Sackhoff – The ultimately doomed love of Daredevil…Sackhoff has that unconventional Hollywood beauty, but at the same time still "real" enough to properly portray a woman capable of reaching such heartwrenching bottoms.
Ben Urich –
Donnie Wahlberg – Not the action star his brother is, Wahlberg is more of the drama brother. Urich is such an important but understated role. I think Wahlberg's experience is more than enough to give Urich the respect the character deserves.
Wilson Fisk –
Aaron Eckhart – Ok…so here's where I begin to lose you all. My idea for the Kingpin is not to cast some giant hulking beast who can't really act…nor do I want my Kingpin to be "old". I'd like to portray him like he is in the comics. Huge and larger than life. For that I'd like my Kingpin to be an awesome actor…in a "big" suit much like they handled Jekyll/Hyde in
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen….and then use realistic CGI to animate some of the more complicated combat moves like they did in Doc Ock in
Spider-Man2. For that I look to the debonair ******* of Eckhart. Combining his slick talking of
Thank You For Smoking, with his cold-hearted actions of
Paycheck and no nonsense attitude of
Black Dahlia…you have a Kingpin that can really get under DD's skin.
Bullseye –
Viggo Mortensen –
Eastern…****ing…Promises. Seriously. Add some balls to the wall crazy and you have a vicious killer.
Elektra Natchios –
Eva Green – Hauntingly beautiful…and just as deadly. Green is perfect to play the raven-haired Greek assassin.
"Battlin' Jack" Murdock –
Harry Hamlin – Obligatory old tough guy. I so typecasted Hamlin for than square retired boxer jaw.
