Jason Statham Wants to Become Daredevil

Tue, Aug 5, 2008

Action star Jason Statham wants to join the comic/superhero trend. Marvel Comics has decided to relaunch the Daredevil character and film, and Jason Statham wants in. Statham denied the role of character Bullseye - once played by actor Colin Farrell, instead he wants to take the role of the Daredevil - who was played previously by actor Ben Affleck. Statham himself responded…

“absolutely, just give me the chance, I would love to be Daredevil.”

Frank Miller replied by saying…

“I think he should be Daredevil too,”

What do you guys think? Jason Statham clearly has the physicality to pull-off the character, but there’s something about that still doesn’t convinced me that he would be a good Daredevil. Maybe its the accent or the hair, then again I was wrong about Heath Ledger being the Joker.
