Director Mark Johnson On 'Daredevil' Sequel

"Born again (which sees DD rematched with Kingpin) would be an obivious choice. The other idea is to do Guardian Devil (Kevin "Clerks" Smith's run for Marvel, in which DD has his faith tested. Smith also cameos in Daredevil). I'd let Kevin write the screenplay, which I think would be a blast."

"Kevin Smith's run on the comic really got me excited again," says Johnson. "I remember reading the foreword by Ben, but I couldn't get through to his agent. Kevin was the one - I didn't know him but I was introduced to him through someone at Marvel. He was like "Dude, why not Ben?" He helped me set up the meeting and he pushed the movie." Smith actually went further than that - he even moved the shooting schedule of his own Affleck-starrer, "Jersey Girl", to allow the actor to fit Daredevil in.

"I've talked to Kevin Smith about him writing the next script" adds Johnson. (Total Film then jokes it'd probably make a very static film, in which people just slack, discussing Daredevil.) "Hey, I'm gonna direct it man!" cries Johnson.
