David Slade has left the director's chair on Fox's reboot of 'Daredevil' due to his commitments on the forthcoming Hannibal TV series, which also saw Mads Mikkelsen have to leave 'Thor 2' to play Hannibal Lecter on the series.
20th Century Fox need to find a replacement quick and get the movie back into production by autumn or risk having the rights revert to Marvel Studios and Disney.
