Elden Henson has been cast as Foggy Nelson in Daredevil series.

I'll give em the benefit of the doubt, but so far few of the casting choices have really sold me on initial appearance.

 

[Platy]

That is not a flattering photograph.

Not like he is playing a super model =P

I can see it working

 

[neoanarch]

Whoa, that I think is a really solid choice for Foggy he looks the part.

He's fine as a shlubby guy. I like him in Butterfly Effect and the Mighty Ducks. The bad haircut, facial hair, and head-on angle of the article's photo just don't do him any favors.

Here's a much better one:

Hoooolllleeeee crappp.

That was for Daredevil?

That is steps from where I live, in Harlem. I walked by that fake car crash yesterday, and I asked the cops down the street if that was for a movie or something (this was before the overturned truck was there, just the sedan in the pole). So cool.

 

[Dalek]

That's a legendary Marvel scene being filmed right there.

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

The white streaks in his hair may be a giveaway, too. ;-)

Looks like the artist there was very much thinking "Vincent Price." I like it.

 

[Rhaknar]

we need to see the costume, it better be authentic

 

[Mariolee]

IMPORTANT QUESTION: Will this crossover with the Bay TMNT?

I'm expecting turtles to be in those set photos.

 

[Nyanmaruz]

I hope they release some Daredevil footage at comic con.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Awesome! Can anyone read what's on the barrels? Toxic waste origin confirmed?

- EW article on the Woll casting

A True Blood actress has found her next gig, and it’s a big one: Deborah Ann Woll has landed the female lead in Marvel’s upcoming Daredevil series, sources say. With HBO’s vampire drama coming to a close this year, Woll has signed on to play Karen Page in the Netflix-distributed series.

In the Daredevil comics, Page is the longest-running love interest of Daredevil’s alter ego Matt Murdock, having been introduced in the series’ first issue. The character was briefly glimpsed in the Daredevil film, but this is the first time she’ll be actively portrayed on screen.

Woll played Jessica Hamby on True Blood during the show’s seven-season run. On Daredevil, she joins Charlie Cox (Boardwalk Empire) as Murdock/Daredevil, along with Elden Henson (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay) as Murdock’s best friend and legal partner, Vincent D’Onofrio (Men in Black) as crime lord Kingpin, and Rosario Dawson (Sin City), who has a secretive role on the show.

Including Daredevil, Marvel will soon have at least three television shows on the air, including ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD and the upcoming Captain America spin-off Agent Carter, which ABC plans to launch in midseason. Daredevil is from showrunner Steven S. DeKnight (Spartacus) and will premiere on Netflix next year. Marvel and Netflix had no comment on the casting.

Ms. When Daredevil stopped being nice and started being real.

Deborah Ann Woll has joined Daredevil as Karen Page

Love her. Hope this is a huge success.

 

[Funky Papa]

Between this and DeKnight's involvement it's safe to say that Daredevil is going to take more risks than Agents of SHIELD.

Grimdark Daredevil incoming?

Ha! That's awesome! Kick ass, these shows are looking better all the time.

Whoa.

 

[Wiktor]

It's a shame that Marvel is propably opposed to reusing actors that already starred in some minor roles, because yesterday I've seen Purge: Anarchy and damn... Frank Grillo would make a great Frank Castle.

 

[anaron]

Yesssss

And Rosario is totally Elektra me thinks

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I <3 Deborah.

 

[besada]

This is sounding better and better all the time. Love the casting so far, especially Nelson and Kingpin.

 

[fallengorn]

hhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnggg

Pretty much.

Doesn't he pretty much play the Punisher in that new Purge movie?

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Damn awesome casting.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Goddam.

 

[Wiktor]

Doesn't he pretty much play the Punisher in that new Purge movie?

Yep. Just not anywhere near as good at it as dear old Frank

 

[fallengorn]

They should get Grillo's doppleganger, Manu Bennett for Frank... if he doesn't mind doing an American accent.

Well DeKnight did give Manu his big break in Spartacus, they have history.

 

[Dalek]

Ohhhhh yeah.

 

[Sethtimus Prime]

Netflix is doing things right.

Oh shit.

That'd be baller as fuck

 

[Funky Papa]

Lord knows I like Manu... but is he capable of nuance? Punisher needs to be a somber dude fighting an inner war as well as putting fools down.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Yesssss

And Rosario is totally Elektra me thinks

I think she's almost certainly Elektra or Typhoid Mary. Unless there's been some TM news I didn't catch, which is totally possible..

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

oh btw xpost:

I think he is. The writing in Arrow is very pulpy and Slade is a goddamn swaggerific boss, but there were some nice subtleties in his performance. I think he could live up to Frank.

I could also see Eric Bana doing it.

 

[Funky Papa]

TM is a mutant, so no. And as much as I like her, I'd rather cast a Greek looking lady as Elektra.
