DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Star Vincent D'Onofrio Offers Production Update; Says Show Will "Surprise Everyone"

After playing the character over three seasons of the now defunct Netflix Daredevil series, Vincent D'Onofrio returned as Wilson Fisk, aka The Kingpin, for Hawkeye, and will reprise the role for another face-off with Charlie Cox's Man Without Fear in Daredevil: Born Again.

We had heard that cameras were set to start rolling on the Disney+ show this week, but D'Onofrio has now provided a production update while responding to a fan on Twitter.

The Full Metal Jacket star said that while they are "definitely in deep glorious prep," they're "not quite shooting yet."

In a follow-up Tweet, he reiterated that Born Again is going to be "very different" to the Netflix series, adding that he believes it's "going to surprise everyone."

Plot details are still under wraps, but the show is expected to be at least partially inspired by the Born Again comic - although Cox did recently confirm that it will be far from a direct adaptation (which isn't too surprising given how dark that story gets).

The 18-episode series, which is being written and executive produced by Matt Corman and Chris Ord, will also star The Many Saints of Newark actor Michael Gandolfini, Colin Woodell (The Purge), and Nikki M. James (The Book of Mormon) in undisclosed roles.

Margarita Levieva (The Deuce) and Sandrine Holt (American Gigolo) are set to play "major roles" (likely the leads' love interests). Alaqua Cox is also expected to appear as Echo, but that's yet to be confirmed.

No official premiere date has been announced, but based on what we've heard, Fall 2024 seems likely.

They did Kingpin dirty in Hawkeye. I don't really love the whole "Kingpin got shot in the face and now he's going to wear an eyepatch" idea.

I'm still excited to see how this project develops tho. Cox killed it in SH.

@Tonic24k - that's the part that bothered you? Think it lines up with him taking explosions to the chest which he gets to walk away from.

Now that's something I didn't like. I know he can take a beating, but he's so much more menacing knowing he's not an unkillable juggernaut and instead has to rely on cunning and dexterity.

@Tonic24k - I feel like him getting beat up by Kate was more insulting. She really should have just barely escaped with her life.

@bkmeijer1 - I like Kingpin being a bit more larger than life. He needs to be intimidating and almost feel as if he has powers. Otherwise, he is just one of the many evil businessmen in comic books.

Most excited for the legal aspects. They've got 4 former lawyers on the writing staff which is great.

Would love to see more of Daredevil being a reactive/proactive to Matt the lawyer and what evils he encounters in the legal system. His two roles intersecting more.

@GhostDog - I'm glad they have some writers who know the subject.

These generic press quotes really don’t do much for me.

I am cautiously optimistic about this. Feige has to know how much the Netflix series was loved. A different tone is fine. Toning down the violence a little is fine. But I sure hope that this has the awesome character work and the interesting philosophy discussions that the Netflix show, and Daredevil in general, have been known for.

There were a couple of good Daredevil moments in She-Hulk, sadly they were broken by him being made to look like an idiot. Its a new show and probably wont have the same tone as She Hulk (please God!) but that alone doesn't give me confidence
