Jason Statham has announced that he is the perfect man to take over the role of 'Daredevil' from Ben Affleck, perhaps because he is the only actor currently employed in the world who is more wooden than the Hollywood star.

It seems that some fans of the first film (there must be some) spotted Statham in a bar with the comic strip creator Frank Miller and deduced that he was in talks for a follow up. Of course it might not have been Statham, just an oak pillar supporting the roof.

 

Despite the fact that the 2003 version was so poor that repeat showings were banned under the terms of the Geneva Convention, Statham told WENN that he would be prepared to bring his huge range of acting talent to the party.

 

"Someone thought it would be a good combination and I thought maybe it would. I'm a big comic book fan and Daredevil, the one that got made not so long ago, I thought they could've done a better job with it. If they want to put me and Frank Miller together and do one, let's have a look at a script."

 

Look at Jason, following in Ben Affleck's smug footprints - how he's come on from those annoying KitKat adverts! Jason is a master of accents, ranging from Cockney to California (though usually in the same sentence, sadly), so surely nothing could go wrong with this idea?

 

No, let's face it, this is the biggest potential walking shit sack of a film that has ever been proposed (and I'm including Guy Ritchie doing 'Sherlock Holmes' in that assertion). What next? Let's have Danny Dyer as one of the Watchmen. "Facking 'ell Rorshach, it's getting' well twicky aht there!"

(Editor Note: Out of 349 photographs we looked at of Statham we saw 2 expressions - this is one we like to call 'awake')
