V: Joe Carnahan in discussion to direct [DARE2]; Fox wants more time; Marvel wants rights to Silver Surfer back in return
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118057507?refCatId=13
Fox is in discussions with Joe Carnahan to direct what's been described as a "Frank Miller-esque, hardcore 70s thriller" take on blind Hell's Kitchen superhero Matt Murdock -- a vision that would deviate from Disney/Marvel's family-friendly tone. Carnahan has yet to receive an official offer, though multiple sources tell Variety that he's the choice.
But Fox also has something Marvel wants. Sources say Marvel would give Fox more time to make "Daredevil" in return for the rights to use characters from the "Fantastic Four" universe, including the giant, world-devouring supervillain Galactus, rumored to play a key role in future Marvel pics. Marvel is also eyeing future use of the Silver Surfer, who in the comicbooks brokered a deal to serve as Galactus' herald in order to save his home planet.

as well as rights to Galactus {nm} on Aug 06, 13:10
This needs to happen. {nm} on Aug 06, 14:03
A-Team was uneven for me...maybe Carnahan will do better with something with less special effects - like DD {nm} on Aug 06, 13:25
DL denies report that Galactus/Silver Surfer are up for negotiations. on Aug 06, 17:22
They can deny it, but I'm guessing they're just going to decide which one they think is more important DD or SS/Galactus... on Aug 06, 21:16
It's a no-brainer for Fox. Losing Daredevil is a small price to pay to keep Galactus and Silver Surfer. on Aug 06, 22:52
Don't give up those characters, Fox. Doing so handicaps your Fantastic Four films. {nm} on Aug 06, 17:24
Galactus and the Silver Surfer definitely have more connections with the Marvel Cinematic Universe than any of the Daredevil characters. on Aug 06, 22:46
