Daredevil director Mark Steven Johnson teases the plot of a sequel to the Ben Affleck-led superhero movie that was never made.
The director of the 2003 Daredevil movie has shared some of the original plans for a sequel to the film that never made it to the big screen. Mark Steven Johnson recently talked to Yahoo! Entertainment about the film for its 20th anniversary. Daredevil starred Ben Affleck as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Jennifer Garner as Elektra Natchios.
Unlike Bryan Singer's 2000 X-Men film or Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man film, a sequel to Daredevil was never made. Instead, an Elektra spin-off film starring Garner was released in 2005. According to Johnson, the results of the spin-off would determine if there would be a Daredevil sequel. "I think the plan was that they would make an Elektra movie and then in success do another Daredevil," said Johnson.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Johnson also talked about one of the storylines he was hoping to tell in a sequel. "I know I wanted to do more of Matt's romance with Karen Page, played by Ellen Pompeo," said Johnson. Pompeo's version of Karen makes a brief appearance in the first film at the office where Matt and Foggy Nelson practice law. Karen's romantic interest in Matt is hinted at when she mentions that Matt's invitation to a ball lets him bring another person with him.
Michael Clarke Duncan, who played the Kingpin/Wilson Fisk, later reprised the role in MTV's Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, which starred Neil Patrick Harris. Favreau went on to direct the first Iron Man film in 2008, which kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He also directed the 2010 sequel Iron Man 2. Favreau also plays the character Happy Hogan in the MCU.
The 2003 Daredevil film is currently available to stream on HBO Max. A trailer for the film can be watched below:
