Sunday, May 24, 2009 at 1:04AM 'BSG' Star Katee Sackhoff as Marvel's Typhoid Mary?
The question of whether or not Marvel should allow another Daredevil movie is not an easy one. The movie we got, with Ben Affleck, was pretty lousy. But the character is so great and it could be one of the better Marvel movies if done the right way. There's been talk of a reboot, but nothing concrete.

Well now Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles mentions on its blog (via Screenrant) that Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar Galactica recently came in and picked up as many Typhoid Mary comics as she could get her hands on. If you know the history of that character, she has been use primarily in Daredevil, although with Marvel's cross-pollination, she could also be used in the Deadpool movie.
The Daredevil connection makes a ton of sense: Mary, a telekinetic assassin, is the blind vigilante's former lover, which would set up a movie rather nicely. Sackhoff would be a smart pick for the role, too, bringing enough of a physical presence to the character while opening the door pretty wide for geeks who would probably pay to see her read the phone book.
Now, of course, Sackhoff could just be brushing up on a favorite character. But with Deadpool a certainty and Daredevil a distinct possibility, it would seem a little random if her shopping spree was completely unrelated.
In the first Daredevil In the Daredevil spin-off, Elektra, the lovely Natassia Malthe played the role of Typhoid Mary.

Just for clarification, Natassia Malthe played the role of Typhoid Mary in "Elektra", the spinoff of "Daredevil" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0357277/)
Oh great, another reboot! Just make a sequel and do it right.
Sorry, Michael. You're right. Those two films bleed together for me.
People all over the world get the loan from various banks, because it's fast and easy.
