If the rumours are true, Marvel Studios is going to start plucking actors and characters from the Marvel Television era of storytelling to softly reboot them for the MCU The Incredible Hulk-style.
Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock is expected to appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk, but what about the Kingpin of Crime, Wilson Fisk? Fans are desperate to see more of Vincent D'Onofrio's take on that iconic villain, and the actor has now created another round of online speculation by expressing his excitement for Hawkeye ahead of its Disney+ debut on November 24.
There have been rumblings that D'Onofrio could reprise his Daredevil role in both Hawkeye and the planned Echo spinoff, something that would make sense given Fisk's history with Maya Lopez. If the actor is part of Hawkeye, then it begs the question of whether visual effects will be used to have the MCU's Kingpin more closely resemble his comic book counterpart.
Of course, just because the Daredevil star is looking forward to Marvel Studios' next Disney+ series, that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be starring in it! Still, it's hard to escape the feeling the actor might be teasing us, especially as it's no secret he's keen to return as the villainous Kingpin.
