Coffey, Attar, And Now THE KINGPIN... I'd Say Michael Clarke Duncan Was Kickin' Some Ass!!

Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.

Mark Steven Johnson is doing a pretty great job of putting together his DAREDEVIL dream project, if you ask me. Affleck may not have been the top of his list, but there's a grounded natural quality to him that should pay off nicely in the end. Jennifer Garner is a really strong choice for Elektra, Harry's All-Greek rant aside. And now...

... now we've got one of the great colorblind casting choices in comic-to-film history. Now we've got Michael Clarke Duncan as Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin. He's a great character in the script, and Duncan is spot-on perfect to bring him to life. I can't wait to see that last fight in the office with the sprinklers running, as Kingpin pounds the life out of Daredevil. I can't wait until...

Oh, jeez... I almost spoiled it. And with a project that's coming together this well, that would be criminal.

Foggy Nelson casting news is up next, so pardon my mixed metaphor, but keep your ears peeled.

Good job by THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER on breaking this one, rumored for weeks, but finally confirmed now.

"Moriarty" out.
