We learned last week who would play the title role in Marvel’s upcoming Daredevil series for Netflix and now we know who he’ll face off with. Word has arrived that veteran character actor Vincent D’Onofrio – pictured above in Full Metal Jacket – has joined the cast to play Wilson Fisk / The Kingpin opposite Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / The Daredevil.
Years of life on Law And Order have somewhat dulled the public impression of D’Onofrio but back in the day – whether his magnetic performance in The Cell or playing a tweaker with a prosthetic nose opposite Val Kilmer in The Salton Sea – was very much the go to guy when casting agents needed to do something weird. Here’s hoping he’s free to bring a bit of that edge here. The only problem I have with this casting is his age. The Kingpin is supposed to be a freak of nature in peak physical condition. I guess Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson must have turned this role down. Private Pyle gets a Taste it.
