This week Vin Diesel confirmed that he would not be starring in Daredevil as the blind superhero. Vin took a starring role in another movie and the shooting schedule does not allow for him to meet the projected November start of filming on Daredevil.

Immediately, Hollywood was buzzing with possible replacements. The two frontrunners seem to be Ben Affleck and Matthew Davis. Ben Affleck would be an interesting choice given that his bud Kevin Smith brought the comic book back from the dead a couple of years ago. Matthew Davis is best known for his lead role in the comic smash Legally Blonde.
