Update: Marvel TV is stating there is no truth to the rumor of Jason Statham.
Update #2: Jason Statham has no ambition for comic book movies and says Marvel isn’t authentic.
It’s rumored that Jason Statham is being eyed by Marvel to play Bullseye in Season 2 of the Daredevil Netflix series.
According to Latino Review, Statham has even took a meeting with Marvel, and at one time, Statham was in talks for a DD movie reboot over at Fox.
The same report also mentions potential villains for Daredevil Season 2 with Mr. Fear, Elektra (seemingly already confirmed) – and get this – Spider-Man villain Mysterio.
It would be rather interesting to have Statham featured on the Netflix series as he is a pretty big-named action star. The quesion is: Is Statham too big?
Daredevil Season 2 is currently in devlopment and will be released in 2016.
