Charlie Coxis the new fan-favorite for playing the beloved MCU character of Matt Murdock aka the Daredevil. But before him, other actors played the infamously devilish comic book character as well, and this list includes the Batman portrayer from the Snyderverse, Ben Affleck.
Though Affleck’s 2003 version ofDaredevilwas the first solo movie of the character to ever be made, it wasn’t received all too nicely by audiences worldwide. And same was the opinion of the current Murdock portrayer, as per his response to whether he found the movie connecting to him in any way.
“Well… I watched it once and then… I wanted to go and do my own thing.”
That sounds just right, keeping fans’ reviews for the same in mind. Continuing, he let out what he actually hated about the movie.
“I don’t love the movie… I feel like the movie tried to do too much and it was a little tonally confused. They had everyone in that movie, they had Kingpin, they had Bullseye, they had Elektra, they had Karen Page, they had Foggy. It was saturated and it’s two hours. So that was part of the problem. And the suit sucks!”
Yet, while Charlie Cox hated the Ben Affleck starrer solo movie on the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, he did applaud the Batman star for his remarkable portrayal of the character.
