Recently, Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles was visited by "Battlestar Gallactica" actress Katee Sackhoff who purchased all the Typhoid Mary comics they had in stock. In case the name doesn't ring a bell, Typhoid Mary is the longtime foe and sometimes lover of Marvel's Daredevil, a mutant with a multiple personality who develops various powers depending on which personality inhabits her at the time. So either Sackhoff is a huge fan of Typhoid Mary comics, or she's in the running for the role in a potential DAREDEVIL reboot and is doing her research like any good actress should. Typhoid Mary also appeared in early DEADPOOL comics, so maybe Sackhoff is looking to star opposite Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming spin-off. Personally I just don't understand why in the world Marvel would want to remake DAREDEVIL. That movie was like, so perfect.

I haven't seen it, but there is no way that the director's cut is a good Daredevil movie. One of the big problems I had with the film was that it really did not seem to respect the world at all, and therefore was embarrassingly over the top. It had more of a Fast and the Furious (but even sillier) tone than say a Spider-Man tone. Bullseye standing up on a moving motorcycle with his arms outstretched? Come on.
It would be great to see someone older than Affleck in the role. Matthew Fox is a good choice, especially since it would be nice to root for him after hating his character more and more on Lost.
While we're speculating on Battlestar vets, how about Tahmoh Penikett for DD? He did a pretty good job of portraying a kind of conflicted righteousness that the Man Without Fear is known for. Oh, and the dude who played the awesome Romo Lampkin as... Mysterio?

I think Matthew Fox would make a cool daredevil and Jason Statham would be a cool Bullseye.
The micheal C Hall was a very good suggestion for daredevil also

If they are to do a reboot than Damon is my pick to play Daredevil. He has the acting chops and he can do fight scenes ("Bourne" movies).
What they should do for the reboot and for the "Wolverine" sequel, is use Miller's work as their inspiration. Miller shouldn't direct it of course but his work should be the heart of the movie.
An all-star cast, a qualified director, Miller as a co-writer, and a hard PG-13 if not R would resurrect this franchise from the grave.

I'm one of those Daredevil fans who really hated the Johnson film. I think the biggest problem was that he just doesn't know how to make a good superhero flick (remember, he made Ghost Rider as his followup film). I've also seen the director's cut but didn't like it much better. However, I agree that a reboot could have a ton of potential, as long as the right people were involved. I also agree with Arvindh's idea of getting respected, but somewhat off the radar actor to play the lead.
My picks:
Daredevil - Ethan Hawke
Kingpin - Ray Winstone
Karen Page - Claire Danes
Foggy Nelson - Mark Ruffalo
Bullseye - Mark Strong
I actually think Sam Rockwell would make a pitch perfect Bullseye, but he's already doing Iron Man, so that seems unlikely. For the director I'd go with either Alex Proyas or Billy Ray.

Daredevil is my favourite non-Batman comic book character and while I dug the first movie (the Director's Cut, which sadly most people never saw but is actually a hell of a lot better) I'd love to see the character return to the big screen, especially if Marvel produced. I always thought Guy Pearce could make an interesting Man Without Fear.

I unapologetically dig Mark Steven Johnson’s DAREDEVIL and I thought Affleck did a damn good job considering the role should have gone to someone who isn't Ben Affleck.

That said, it could still be done a shit load better, so I’m down with the reboot idea. Not that it will ever happen, but still.
As for Starbuck playing Typhoid Mary, I wouldn't get too excited or read too much into her shopping trip. The property is still at Fox, so it's way more likely the role will go to Queen Latifah.

As for who should play, I say get a not-too-famous face. Works better. Someone who has a decent resume but isn't a Hollywood who's-who. Someone that will give a damn about the character and not just use the movie as a way of getting into the "in" thing right now; comic book adaptations aka massive summer blockbusters.

But in reality, I say enough with the damn comic book flicks already. I for one, and SICK of hearing about yet another damned "adaptation". Considering how many actual stick to the history and story of the comics, why do they bother? Hey, this is a great character, so let's buy the rights, then change EVERYTHING about the back story, and make it our own thing. Losers.
And yea, Sackhoff is kinda hot.

Also, would they really use Typhoid Mary after she was in that Electra movie? I'd rather see Katie as Blackcat.
