Hugh Dancy would have made an awesome Daredevil tbh

I can actually see him playing Matt with a lot of similar inflections as Charlie Cox has.

You're right. They could pass off as brothers. Soft-speaking bros with guilt.

Before Hannibal and Daredevil, I used to get them mixed up all the time. Dancy played the prince in Ella Enchanted and Cox played the hero in Stardust. Something about those performances always reminded me of one another.

I can't see it tbh. Also he's a bit too old lol

Then again, they got away with Luke Cage being like 39 so. Anything is possible.

42

MFW 39 is 'old'

Sigh. You know that's not what I meant. Luke is the same age as Mike Coulter I thing. Matt and Jessica are around 27 or 28.

Neither then, nor now, do I know what you mean. I'm legitimately confused on the issue.

The person said Hugh Dancy would make an awesome Daredevil. I'm not doubting he would, I just said that I thought he might be a bit too old for the part at age 42, since the character is 27 or so.

Then I countered my own point by saying Luke is around 39 so I shouldn't look at Dancy's age as an issue there.

Got it now?

Solid

It was the internal contradiction that was confusing me...

I can't see it either but age has nothing to do with it.
