Kevin Feige pretty much confirmed that Charlie Cox will return as Matt Murdock in the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the weekend, and Vincent D'Onofrio has now taken to Twitter to congratulate his former cast-mate.
Cox and D'Onofrio worked closely together over three seasons of Netflix's Daredevil, and even though they didn't actually share that many scenes, the intensity was palpable whenever they did appear on screen at the same time.
In the series finale, The Man Without Fear was finally able to defeat his nemesis while ensuring that his friends were out of danger - but something tells us The Kingpin is the type to hold a grudge!
"So happy for Charlie Cox he really deserves this," Tweeted D'Onofrio. "He's a great actor and a wonderful guy. He put so much into playing DareDevil in such a unique way. Love this news."
Will these two face-off again in The MCU? Last week's episode of Hawkeye certainly seemed to hint at an appearance from Wilson Fisk, but that's yet to be made official, and we're still not sure D'Onofrio will reprise the role. If all the pieces do fall into place, though, it's hard to imagine Marvel Studios failing to capitalize on the potential of reigniting this feud.
Be sure to tune in to Disney+ this Wednesday to see if Echo's "Uncle" makes another appearance.
