DAREDEVIL Star Vincent D'Onofrio Remains Uncertain If He Will Return To The MCU As The Kingpin

After WWE Superstar The Big Show put himself forward to play the MCU's Wilson Fisk, fans have been wondering whether Vincent D'Onofrio could get the chance to reprise the role, and he's now responded...

Daredevil certainly wasn't the perfect take on the Man Without Fear across its three seasons (four if you could The Defenders) on Netflix, but there was a lot that did work, with Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio's performances right at the top of that list. Right now, the future for these characters is uncertain, and the prevailing theory is that they will eventually be rebooted by Marvel Studios.

After all, Kevin Feige had nothing to do with Marvel Television's take on Matt Murdock and co., and it seems doubtful he would want to stick to the continuity and storylines the TV show established for them.

Despite that, fans would love to see Cox and D'Onofrio reprise their roles, and more of the latter's take on Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. The Kingpin, in particular, is something most fans would be on board with. After responding to a recent feature claiming that bringing his version of the villain back would ruin him, the Daredevil star made it clear that he doesn't know what the future holds in store for the villain. 

That's to be expected, though it would have been nice to hear that he had met with Marvel Studios at some point. Clearly, we're going to have to wait and see, but could that question mark be a tease?

This guy is my favorite MCU villian. Rebooting these characters would be a huge mistake.

@hazapez - He certainly was! David Tennant is the man.

@AtakanKaratas - I do see why you like him but second only to Thanos.

I mean, come on Feige. Give us what we want. Continue Cox's Daredevil with Bullseye and Kingpin.

@AtakanKaratas - Dagnabbit ! It's not up to Feige. Netflix owns all that and there is very little chance they'll allow Feige to use any part of their version of the IP as long as they hold title. Nobody knows if that's 10 years or forever. So don't hold your breath.

I’m perfectly willing to have him show up as Kingpin with no link to the continuity of the Daredevil show.

@Chewtoy - I think this would be the way they’d do it. I can’t see anything that happened on the Netflix shows ever having an effect or mention in the films. Saying that I’d love to see someone in the films address the idea of a giant dragon skeleton under Manhattan haha

@Chewtoy - It sounds desperate (I don't mean that an a negative), but I am in the same boat. I'll take it.

If they ever reincorporate these characters into the larger MCU, they should use the snap as a way to soft-reboot them instead of straight up recasting.

Daredevil can have a new costume/have NelsonMurdockPage up and running, Luke can be back to normal hero work, Danny can have the suit, etc.

Anyone they replace him with will probably pale in comparison

@BlackBeltJones - Agreed. Which is another reason Feige will avoid the Netflix characters.

@JDL - But Fiege could do Luke and Danny 1000x better

@SnapperCarr - I agree on Danny but I liked Mike Colter's version.
Anyway unless these characters somehow get popular overseas they are not gonna be much in the MCU.

I can see it in my mind. The slow approaching shot up behind a man, dressed in white. The camera stays low enough that we evenually zoom in on a single cufflink. Classical music in the background. From the cufflink we span up to a bald head. Then he turns and looks straight at the camera, thanos style.

It's a post-cred scene waiting to happen.

Of course he won't be back cause the wuss master Kevin "No Risk" Feige the egotistical man doesn't see any vision for comic book films other than his own.

They can easily just pick another villain at Marvel. Even if they don't consider Netflix canon, they might think that there already has been a lot of Kingpin in recent years

Kevin feige had nothing to do with the current incarnation of deadpool either and he's sticking with that

Well they coul do a JK Simmons, playing an alternate Kingpin.

Feige is a great producer. But he really is too proud sometimes. Not allowing ANYTHING into the MCU that he's not responsible for is a really strange move. Other people can get things right too.

I'm not saying treat the story as canon. But the actors? You'd have to have a screw loose not to use them.
