• The film's soundtrack was recorded by the rock band Evanescence.
• During the filming of the movie, Ben Affleck used the services of four stunt doubles who substituted for him in particularly risky scenes.
• There is a director's cut of the film which is 30 minutes longer than the theatrical release.
• Three months before filming began, Ben Affleck started training to prepare for his role. Before and during filming, Affleck practiced various fighting styles daily under the guidance of stunt coordinator Jeff Imada and British veteran trainer Dave Lee.
• When Michael Clarke Duncan (1957-2012) was cast in the film, he weighed 138 kg. He was asked to gain another 10 kg for the role. To achieve this, he worked out every day and ate whatever he wanted, without any restrictions.
• Michael Clarke Duncan was often filmed standing on boxes or raised platforms to make him appear taller than the other actors, especially Ben Affleck, who is 1 meter 92 centimeters tall.
• It took between seven and eight months to create Daredevil's costume, ensuring it looked exactly as it did in the comics.
• In the comics, Kingpin is white, but on screen his image was embodied by African American Michael Clarke Duncan, who happened to have a similar physique. The studio decided to cast Duncan in the role after a series of unsuccessful auditions involving white wrestlers. In fact, when this character was first introduced into the original comics' storyline, it was originally intended that he be African American, but this idea was abandoned.
• Before working on this project, Colin Farrell had never ridden a motorcycle.
