"20th Century Fox" first acquired the rights to Daredevil from "Marvel" in 1997. Chris Columbus was initially attached to direct. The following year, "Marvel" was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, so "Fox" let the option slide. "Disney" then expressed an interest in the character, but that didn't pan out. Mark Steven Johnson realized his life's ambition in 1999, when "Marvel" assigned the rights to "Sony," and he was hired to write the screenplay. However, the following year, "Sony" put the project in turnaround. It was picked up by New Regency with "Fox" distributing, but Johnson found himself having to (successfully) re-pitch himself for the writing and directing gig.
