Just after the fresh news that Marvel Studios might be welcoming home both Silver Surfer and Galactus, a Fox shaped spanner has been thrown into the works, hinting at the possibility that instead, the blind lawyer superhero will be making a Marvel comeback.
If you’ve been waiting, hoping and wishing for Marvel to get their
hands back on the rights of some of the properties they had sold away in
the past, then today is your lucky day. No, they’re not getting back Spider-Man or the X-Men, but Daredevil could be in play… Which means the red dude could be making an appearance in The Avengers 2 and — WOAH! — even getting his own franchise.Norrin Radd, aka Silver Surfer, and Galan, aka Galactus were handed over to Fox a while back. Recently, the word on the grapevine has been that Fox may be returning these tormented and terrifying super villains to Marvel. According to Deadline, however, Fox is now more concerned about its Fantastic Four movie than it is about a Daredevil reboot, which means that Marvel may get Daredevil back in the fold.
This turn in events for Marvel could be a blessing in disguise. It’s not that we’re not excited to see the two villains appear in Josh Trank’s (Chronicle) take on the Fantastic Four, but we’re thinking that Daredevil being handed back to 20th Century Fox is very big news indeed. As he’s a superhero, rather than super villain, it would give Marvel much more power to play around with the character and his future on-screen endeavors.
