So without breaking confidentiality, yes Daredevil, we have a great outline for a very strong character-driven take on Mr Matt Murdock. It will bare no relation to the previous Daredevil movie in any way.

We are at early planning stages and have not yet discussed any cast.

So I guess Robert Pattinson isn’t officially being considered, and this movie will have no connection to the previous film ruling out any possible return of actor Colin Farrell to reprise his epic memorable performance as hitman-for-hire Bullseye.

Also Slade shared his two cents on the rumors of ‘the Wolverine’:

WOLVERINE, there have been no discussions about this project to date. Interesting to see what will happen with that as the again excellent script by Chris McQuarrie was set largely in Japan.

I guess he’s acknowledging well in advance that this movie is expected to spend a substantial amount of time in Japan, but he hasn’t signed on to direct.
