Ben Affleck Flip-Flopping On Daredevil!

IESB.net tells us they caught up with Ben Affleck and asked him if he would be interested in a Daredevil sequel. Here's a clip:

Ben would consider going back to Daredevil just as long as Fox would negotiate to tell some of the darker storylines. He would like to see a big screen adaptation of Kevin's graphic novel that included "Mysterio" or maybe even "Born Again". He believes that these story lines might me a bit obscure for 20th Century Fox and may require some negotiations.

You can watch Affleck say these things himself in a video interview at the link above (language alert!).

Then Ben Affleck tells others a different story...

Ben Affleck was in a weird mood when he spoke to international print media about "Surviving Christmas" a few hours ago, a film he and his co-stars won't be promoting too much for domestic press. Affleck, who now refuses to talk about any aspect of his personal life, seemed overly playful, not wanting to be to serious.

But when talking future projects, one thing was emphatically clear from the Oscar winning screenwriter: "Daredevil 2" is most definitely not on the agenda, despite his upcoming cameo in "Elektra". "I'm definitely not going to do it. No more action films, they're fucking boring." said Affleck.

This comes as a surprise after a video interview the other day with the man indicated he would be interested if they did either Kevin Smith's comic storyline or the "Born Again" subplot. In the last few days, it seems something must have changed his mind.

Instead, he says, he's after "some good comedies or a role in something like a Boiler Room." Clearly, we won't be seeing him putting on any more tights in the near future. More of my exclusive chat with Mr Affleck, if sense can be made of it, in the coming weeks.
