HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Ben Affleck soon will sport red spandex in Fox's feature version of Marvel Comics' superhero saga "Daredevil."
While the final touches still are being put on the deal, the "Pearl Harbor" pilot is expected to fetch a low eight-figure salary for his performance. The $50 million picture is tentatively scheduled to shoot next year in Vancouver. Mark Steven Johnson ("Simon Birch") will direct.

Affleck would play blind lawyer and martial artist Matt Murdock, who becomes so disillusioned with the legal system that he becomes the costumed crime-fighting vigilante known as Daredevil. After an accident with a radioactive isotope, he develops the radarlike sight that helps him bring villains to justice.

Also making the leap from comicbook to film will be Daredevil's enemies -- corpulent Mob boss Kingpin; master marksman Bullseye; and Daredevil's ex-girlfriend-turned assassin-for-hire, Elektra.

Vin Diesel had been circling the "Daredevil" project, but he has signed on to "The Chronicles of Riddick," a sequel to the Universal sci-fi pic "Pitch Black."

Affleck recently shot "Surviving Christmas" for Columbia and "The Sum of All Fears" for Paramount.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Why must they cast Affleck in everything? Seriously, give other people a chance. Sure I think Affleck is better than Damon by far but there are so many people better for Daredevil. I name I've heard thrown around that would rock- Guy Pearce.

I've known about htis for awhile, also in Comic Film Stock is a Fantastic Four movie (not the Corman one which is great in and of itself), an Incredible Hulk movie (which has Ang Lee and Rick Baker attached so it has a shot), Ghost Rider (with Nick Cage as Johnny Blaze) and X-Men 2.

EDIT: Additional note- there's Daredevil in the background in the Miramax lot in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

I'm not saying you're wrong, erin, but it's been rumored for months that Affleck was gonna be Daredevil, and Variety isn't always the best source for entertainment news. I still say he doesn't get the part.

Or so I hope. Jesus, what a horrible Daredevil he'd be. Casting Affleck as Daredevil would be as stupid as, say, casting Nicolas Cage as Superman, and....oh wait....
