20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment have reportedly zeroed in on David Slade to direct the next Daredevil movie.
According to Variety, "Sources close to the project tell Variety that the untitled film will be a continuation of the superhero pic, and will not contain material from the Ben Affleck-toplined version released by Fox in 2003."
Slade is coming off the commercial success of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. His past credits include Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night. Slade had been in contention to helm Wolverine 2, but that gig ultimately went to Darren Aronofsky.
Although no actor's been mentioned yet as the new Matt Murdock, we don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that someone at Fox hasn't at least thought of Slade's Twilight leading man, Robert Pattinson, for the title role.

The Hollywood Reporter claims that since Daredevil is still only in the development stage with no writer aboard yet that Slade's next project will likely be The Last Voyage of the Demeter.
