Director Joe Carnahan Wanted For 'DAREDEVIL'

Both Variety and Deadline report that The Grey and Narc director Joe Carnahan is currently next inline. Nothing is confirmed yet but Fox is keen on him. Variety also adds that Marvel is willing to extend the Daredevil rights in exchange for some cosmic characters from the Fantastic Four franchise. Those being Silver Surfer and Galactus which had been saved for an abandoned Silver Surfer movie. Considering Fox doesn't have plans to make this film anytime soon it could be worthwhile to give some breathing room for Carnahan. It's still likely that Fox could give up Daredevil entirely to Marvel.
