That’s right folks, Twentieth Century Fox is taking full advantage of the fact that they still pertain some of the rights to the Marvel property and have decided to do a reboot on Daredevil, and boy does it need it. The 2003 comic book adaptation starred Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell and Michael Clark Duncan in the mess of a movie that got the shaft by critics and fanboys/girls alike. Now Fox gets it in their heads to go and completely revitalize the franchise by hiring David Scarpa, who penned The Day That The Earth Stood Still remake, to write the brand spanking new script, says Deadline Hollywood.

Peter Chernin is producing with no word yet on a release date. This continues the seemingly never-ending battle between Disney and Fox pertaining to grabbing the full rights for properties such as Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Ghost Rider and the beloved X-Men.
