It appears a Daredevil reboot is currently being considered. We get the news from an interview IESB had with Tom Rothman. Below is the interview snippet that reveals this news.
IESB: One of the brands that has made Fox a lot of money is Marvel. Recently, there was a reboot of the Hulk, which was alright, but I think it was mainly to get it ready for the Avengers film coming up. But there are two Marvel properties you control amongst others, Daredevil and Elektra. Both films didn’t do too well but…reboot maybe?
Tom Rothman: A Daredevil, to use your words, reboot, is something we are thinking very seriously about.

I still haven’t seen the Daredevil film. With such a poor public reception, it has never been high on my “must watch” list.
We have mulled about the rebooting of this franchise on the live show, and although I’m not surprised that it will happen; but I am taken aback that news of the reboot has already begun to swirl about. From the interview we don’t have any sort of timeline, in fact Robert asks Rothman flat out if it will be “soon” and he replies that “nothing in Hollywood is soon”. So although we know that it will happen, we have no bearing yet as to when it will.
The corporate gears are slowly beginning to turn for a Daredevil reboot. For those of you that are fans of Daredevil – who would you like to see land the role?
