Daredevil is a 2003 American
written and directed by . Based on the
character of the , the film stars
as Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer who fights for justice in the courtroom and out of the courtroom as the masked
Daredevil.
plays Jack "The Devil" Murdock, a washed up fighter who is Matt' and
plays , also known as the crime lord Kingpin.
The film began development in 1997 at
and , before
acquired the rights in 2000. Johnson shot the film primarily in
despite the
setting of the film and comics.
were hired to handle the film's .
composed the Daredevil score which was released on
in March 2003, whereas the various artists soundtrack album, , was released in February.
Reviews of the film were mixed, praising the performances of Affleck, Farrell, and Duncan, but criticizing the lack of character development and unoriginality. The film was still a profitable theatrical run and became February's second biggest release: it was successful enough for a
film, , which was released in 2005. In 2004, an R-rated
of Daredevil was released, reincorporating approximately 30 minutes of the film, including an entire sub-plot involving a character played by . The director's cut was intended as an improvement over the theatrical version.
is a blind lawyer in New York City's
neighborhood, where he runs a firm with best friend . As a child, Matt was blinded by a toxic waste spill while walking home from school after discovering that his father, former boxer Jack "The Devil" Murdock, had become an enforcer for a local mobster. The accident enhanced Matt's other senses and gave him
to "see" via sonic vibrations. Matt trained himself in martial arts. Blaming himself for Matt's disability, Jack stopped being an enforcer, returned to boxing, and was killed after refusing to turn in a fixed fight for the mobster who had employed him earlier. To avenge his father's death, Matt used his abilities to become the costumed crime fighter, Daredevil.
In the present day, Matt meets , daughter of Nikolas Natchios, a businessman who has dealings with , a rich executive who is also the criminal leader known as the Kingpin. When Nikolas tries to bail on his dealings with Fisk, the mobster hires the Irish hitman , who has preternatural aim, to kill him. Matt tries to stop Bullseye, but Bullseye ultimately succeeds in killing Nikolas and framing Matt in the process. Elektra vows to exact revenge, while reporter Ben Urich discovers his secret identity. Believing Matt to have done good things for Hell's Kitchen, Urich tells Matt that Bullseye is going after Elektra next.
Matt tracks Bullseye, but is attacked by Elektra, who plans to use her own extensive training in martial arts to avenge her father's death. After wounding him, she removes his mask, and discovers Matt's secret identity and innocence. Forced to fight Bullseye alone, Elektra is overpowered and killed by the hitman. A wounded Matt makes his way to a church, where he is looked after by his confidante, Father Everett, who knows his secret identity. After recovering slightly, Matt fights Bullseye, who had followed him to the church. Bullseye discovers that loud noise is Matt's weakness and prepares to kill him with a spiked piece of wood after incapacitating him. Matt blocks the attack and hears an FBI sniper stationed on the neighboring building preparing to fire. As the bullet is fired, Matt moves out of the bullet's path of the bullet and pulls Bullseye's hands into it. When Bullseye pleads for mercy, Matt throws him from the church's top floor. Bullseye lands on the hood of Urich's car, wounded but alive.
Upon discovering Fisk is the Kingpin and Bullseye's employer, Matt makes his way to Fisk's office. Fisk proves to be a surprisingly powerful combatant due to his size and brute strength, overwhelming Matt for most of the fight. Lying on the floor, Matt questions Fisk as to why he killed the people Murdock loved, including Jack M Fisk replies it was just business. Angered, Matt regains his strength and breaks Fisk's legs, but refrains from killing him, instead allowing him to be arrested by the police, who have discovered his criminal connections. Before being taken away, Fisk — who had also discovered Matt's secret identity after overpowering him — swears revenge on Matt, who points out that Fisk cannot reveal Matt's secret identity because he will be humiliated by being beaten by a blind man.
Having gained closure over his father's murder, Matt returns to his day-to-day routine, though brokenhearted over the loss of Elektra. He learns she might still be alive after he goes to the rooftop where they had their first kiss and finds a necklace like the one her mother gave her, except with a
inscription. Matt meets Urich one last time, in which Urich assures him he will not publish his article about Matt's true identity.
In a mid-credits scene, Bullseye, having been moved to a prison hospital and severely bandaged after his confrontation with Matt, is shown to still have his perfect aim after he impales a fly with a syringe needle.
as a youth in an accident with bio-waste that drastically heightened his remaining senses and gave him a "sonar-sense", which allowed him to perceive his surroundings, and makes a silent promise with his father to "stick up for the long shots". His father is killed not long after and at that moment, he vows to seek justice. At night, he becomes a devil-modeled vigilante who takes justice into his hands. Affleck was cast in October 2001.
was considered to portray Daredevil before him, but he opted to take a role in . In a February 2011 interview,
said that he was offered the role but turned it down, stating that "comic-strip stuff isn’t really my cup of tea, really."
also revealed that he was offered the role. He claimed that he and Ben "loved that comic book but I just didn't quite believe in the script or the director at the time."
was also considered until Affleck signed. As a fan, Affleck made sure he had read every single issue of Daredevil, commenting that it was about taking what he knew as a fan and faithfully getting it on the screen.
considered it "serendipity in action" that Affleck is the lead role, as when he and Kevin Smith did the
series, they had modeled it on Affleck. Affleck said Daredevil was his favorite comic book as a kid, and explained why he took the role by saying "Everybody has that one thing from childhood that they remember and that sticks with them. This story was that for me." He also stated another reason, being "I didn't want someone else to do it, because I was afraid that they would go out and do it different from the comic and screw it up."
as Young Matt Murdock: As a youth, he has trouble with local bullies and a close bond with his father. This changes in different ways after the accident. Terra was officially announced as a part of the cast in March 2002.
as : Daughter of billionaire Nikolas Natchios and the love interest of Matt Murdock. At a very young age, she witnessed the murder of her mother, and since then her father has had her become highly trained in . For the role of Elektra, many actresses were looked into with considerations including , , , , , and . A short-list was eventually made, giving the choices of Jennifer Garner, ,
and , with Garner finally becoming the actress to land the role. Garner said of the character, "I think she's strong and cool and beautiful and smart. She'd be a good role model." Garner noted that the costume would be different as Elektra often wears red satin, but in the film she wears black leather. Garner explained "the red would never have worked for hiding a harness, and I know this sounds ridiculous, but you have to protect your skin a little bit. They throw me around so much on the rooftop [that] I got cut through the leather, so imagine if I hadn't had anything."
as : An assassin with perfect accuracy and deep-rooted pride of it who is hired by Kingpin to kill Nikolas and Elektra Natchios, but when Daredevil gets involved and causes him to miss his target, he makes it his own personal vendetta to take Daredevil down. Farrell was attached to the role in December 2001. Mark Steven Johnson credits
with talking him out of using the traditional Bullseye costume for the film, and Farrell was encouraged to keep his Irish accent as this version of Bullseye is from Ireland. Farrell had to read 's Daredevil comics to understand Bullseye "because the expression on the character's faces in the comic books, and just the way they move sometimes, and the exaggerations of the character I'm playing […] he's so over-the-top that you do draw from that. But it's not exactly a character you can do
for... you know, running around New York killing people with paper clips."
as : By appearance, he is an overweight corporate head that takes the name Wilson Fisk, but in fact he is the sole person running organized crime, under the moniker of Kingpin. Kingpin is the murderer of Matt's father, and the man responsible for the hiring of Bullseye, with intention of having the Natchios family murdered. Michael Clarke Duncan signed on for the role in January 2002, though he had been attached far earlier. When Duncan was cast, he weighed 290 pounds. He was asked to gain 40 pounds for the role in order to fit the physique of Kingpin. In order to do this, he would lift weights for 30 minutes a day, and
with one or two reps a day, as well as eating whatever he wanted. Despite this, Duncan's biggest concern was that he is black, while Kingpin has always been portrayed as white. Also, Duncan provided the voice for Kingpin in . He spoke on the fan's loyalty to the source material by saying "they watch movies to say, 'Hey, that's not like the comic book.' But I want them to get past that and just see the movie for what it is and see me for what I am—an actor."
as : Matt Murdock's legal partner and best friend, he is also used as a form of comic relief. Favreau joined the cast in February 2002. Favreau would later go onto direct the -produced
and its sequel,
while also appearing as .
as : An investigative journalist whose articles notably relate to Daredevil, and the Kingpin. During the film, he goes on to uncover a lot of information about the two. Pantoliano was cast in March 2002.
as Jack Murdock: Father of Matt Murdock and a boxer, he is murdered by the Kingpin when he does not take a fall for a fight. Keith was officially announced as a part of the cast in March 2002.
as Wesley Owen Welch: The number two of Wilson Fisk, but he does not like to be involved in the activities of the Kingpin. Orser previously co-starred with Jon Favreau in 1998 in .
Lennie Loftin as Detective Nick Manolis: A
cop who considers Daredevil an urban legend.
as Nikolas Natchios: The father of Elektra, who is murdered by Bullseye on behalf of the Kingpin.
as : The secretary at Matt Murdock and Franklin Nelson's law firm.
as Father Everett: A priest of Matt Murdock's local church, where he sometimes goes to find solace.

optioned the rights from , and
was chosen to direct the film. In 1998, Marvel was facing bankruptcy. During this time 20th Century Fox allowed the option to expire, so
began negotiations in order to acquire the rights. In 1999, the negotiations failed to work out so Marvel set the project up with 's . During this time, Chris Columbus and Carlo Carlei co-wrote a script together, before
got signed to write the screenplay. By 2000, Sony decided to cancel the project, as the two companies reportedly could not come to an agreement over Internet rights.
entered negotiations with a more satisfying offer, attaining the character rights from Marvel in 2000 to produce the film, with 20th Century Fox handling the distribution. Mark Steven Johnson was rehired and his script was turned in during 2001, which was praised by ' . Prior to shooting, producer Gary Foster said that in comparison to other comic book-based films before it, this film would be "more character-driven ... darker ... edgier," while
executive Kevin Feige felt the script was one of the strongest comic scripts Marvel had received.
20th Century Fox wanted to start filming in
in order to save money. This plan was contended by Johnson, and the film's , Ericson Core, after they found a preferred area for shooting around ' Arcade Building. Core noted that the appeal came from the "beautiful, old brick buildings and great rooftops," which they felt was perfect for a depiction of , in comparison to the studio's choice where the filming would be done in
or . Due to their insistence, coupled with Ben Affleck's disinterest in filming in Canada (after having filmed there for his previous film, ) they were able to change the studio's mind.
A side-by-side view of the scene from the
graphic novel, and the film. Several scenes were taken shot-for-shot of comic books.
When the look of the film was being decided, Mark Steven Johnson opted to use direct scenes from the Daredevil comics. Joe Quesada's artistic take in
(Daredevil vol. 2, #1-#8) was an influence on the film, with Johnson noting that they would "literally take out a scene from the comic book that Joe did […] Here's Daredevil on the cross, you know, it's that scene from 'Guardian Devil'. You just shoot that." Throughout the film, Ben Affleck had to wear "cataract milky-blue" contacts, which would effectively make him blind. This was considered great by Johnson, as it would aid his performance.
The sound plays an integral part in the film, as the superhero relies on it in order to form his 'sonar sense'. Post-production sound was done by supervising sound editor John Larsen and sound designer Steve Boeddeker and is heard taking place immediately after Matt's optic nerve is seen mutating. The mutating of the nerve was done by Rhythm and Hues Studios, who also worked on the sonar-sense which became referred to as the "shadow world". Shadow world was made using just
except in a scene where Elektra and Matt Murdock are in the rain, which was done using CGI over film.
to Daredevil was written by , and released on March 4, 2003. He was attracted to the focus of "human-ness" on Daredevil, torn emotionally and physically by his superhero status. Avi Arad asked Revell to concentrate more on the emotions of Daredevil and Elektra, while Mark Steven Johnson wanted to stay clear from any
and action movie clichés. Revell tried to avoid too much individual
but some characters would have an identifiable sound, like Bullseye would have guitar undertones, while Kingpin would have bass beats. Guitarist
collaborated with Revell for any additional rock elements. Revell thoroughly enjoyed working with Johnson, describing the director as "positive" and "responsive" when it came to experimenting (as opposed to feeling "locked in a box of preconceptions") which he felt lead to "cool stuff".

Aside from expected TV commercials during such TV hits as
and , as well as one in the second quarter of the Super Bowl, there was also a tie-in with , an in-store promotion at , a marketing campaign with , who designed the watch Matt wears in the film, and a weeklong Daredevil segment on . As part of an online form of marketing, a viral e-mail drive was started, where participants would be entered in a contest where they could win prizes such as Daredevil T-shirts,
games, and cufflinks. To enter the drawing, the user had to book tickets for the film online, then pass an e-mail on to someone else. The idea was to encourage online ticket booking, which at the time was seen as a growing trend. The Game Boy Advance game was released on February 14, 2003, and was created by Encore, a subsidiary of . The soundtrack to the film, , was released in February 2003.
Daredevil opened theatrically on February 14, 2003, on 3,471 screens. The film took first place in its opening weekend, grossing $45,033,454. At the time, it became the second biggest February release, behind . By the second weekend the film saw a 55.1% decline in takings but managed to maintain the number one spot, beating new release
by $639,093. By the third weekend release, Daredevil saw a further 38.5% drop in sales, and so fell to third place at the box office. The film grossed over $102 million in North America, and over $76 million in the rest of the world, totalling the film's worldwide takings at just over $179 million, grossing over double its budget of $78 million.
addressed the top spot success by saying "we are five for five with record-breaking box office successes [with , ,
then ] and have two more Marvel releases slated for this summer [which are
and ]. It's a testament to the broad appeal of these characters before mainstream audiences outside of the core comic fans. These super heroes have been successful within the Marvel
it only makes sense that their translations to the big screen are just as fruitful."
Due to the film's violent scenes, Daredevil was banned in . 20th Century Fox had appealed to Malaysia's censorship board to change its decision, hoping that the film would be due for release in Malaysia on February 27, 2003. Malaysian newspaper
