I haven't seen him act before admittedly. Was he in Law & Order?

And he looks good, I can't wait to see his impersonation of Wilson Fisk.

He's in one of those millions of cop procedurals. I do know that he's a badass in said procedural.

He looks amazing.

 

[Zeyphersan]

I have a feeling he's going to be a show-stealer.

The initial buzz was that he totally is

 

[Dai101]

Full Metal Jacket. Watch it.

Also the first Men in Black

 

[More_Badass]

Also the first Men in Black

He was in Men In Black? What character?

He was in Men In Black? What character?

The farmer or whatever who gets his skin taken by the alien.

 

[BrokenFiction]

He did a funny turn on John Oliver's show last night:

His part starts at about 17:41.

 

[Bleepey]

It's a shame the guy who plays the Mountain in GoT is not a trained actor. Holy shit he'd have been perfect. That said I am sure D'Nofrio will kick ass, I wonder if he went on the Marvel workout regime. Charlie Cox is only 5'10 so Fisk should stare down Matt easily.

Edgar/Edgar Suit

Kingpin looks good

Edgar/Edgar Suit

Holy crap. Unrecognizable.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Holy crap. Unrecognizable.

Partly because he was skinnier then, but mainly because of Rick Baker's awesome make up work.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

He was an amazing actor in Law and Order: Criminal Intent. He practically made the show and played the psychological aspect of his role amazingly.

 

[Platy]

And he looks good, I can't wait to see his impersonation of Wilson Fisk.

 

[Philippo]

They still haven't got a wrong thing with this one yet, incredible.
I'm hyped as fuck,

 

[xxracerxx]

Kingpin looks great. Everything is shaping up.

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

Can't wait for this... I have only read Waid's DD run but that's enough to get me pumped for this show!! Hopefully it will be as great as Arrow which is the best superhero show i have watched so far...

 

[Dysun]

Unhinged D'onofrio is the best thing to ever come out of Law and Order, I had no doubt he would pull off an amazing performance when it was announced.

Just a month and 8 days... Just a month and 8 days...

Waid & Arrow are good but you should check out Bendis & Flash for some real top tier stuff!

 

[guek]

Holy shit, I remember Michael Clark Duncan being jacked as kingpin but still, this picture made me say dayum

 

[The Elite]

I remember an episode of Law & Order with D'onofrio that dealt with a criminal that had some brain abnormality that reduced his ability to feel fear.

It was a really good episode.

My nostalgia approves.


Kingpin looks great, when I found out this dude was playing him I was all for it.

Wow. That is Kingpin.

 

[Sinatar]

Watch 'The Salton Sea' if you want to see another good unhinged D'Onofrio performance.

Worth listening to.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

No chance of insanely posh sounding Kingpin from the '94 Spidey series?

 

[BobLoblaw]

Like I said earlier, expect this guy to steal the show. Can't wait.

 

[Pachimari]

Couldn't Wilson Fisk basically turn up in the other Netflix shows as well? Do he have a history with Jessica, Luke and Iron Fist? I'm just thinking they are operating on the streets of New York, all of them.

Well Spider-man is back with Marvel....

 

[Pachimari]

Well Spider-man is back with Marvel....

Yeah but I'm thinking more in regards to the other Netflix shows, as those seem more interconnected than Spidey will probably be.

 

[dabig2]

He's had some interaction with all of them over the years due to the whole street angle. So he could definitely be a character in them as well. I doubt anything major though as all those heroes have their own villains to use.

The real question is will we see Kingpin in the Spider-man movies. Spidey is the major Marvel hero with the most connection to him. Kingpin's character I believe was also jointly owned by Sony/Fox before as well for this reason.

 

[Freewheelin']

That actor is spot-on for Kingpin, lol. Got the look down to a tee.

 

[antonz]

Really cannot wait to see his Kingpin. Vincent D'Onfrio is very talented and he has the chops to be a perfectly sadistic Kingpin.

Would love to see Punisher Max styled Kingpin. Dude is super smart and plays everyone like he is just some bumbling fool and takes over everything and is just downright brutal

 

[Broken Joystick]

Destroy and rebuild. #Daredevil

[GuitarAtomik]

I'm just now realizing how close this is. I think I was thinking this was coming in May or something. So hyped.

Any reviews or impressions indicating this will be any good?

Once bitten, twice shy, thanks to Agents of SHIELD.

Eh he kinda looks like Meatloaf. Expect him to start belting out "but I won't do that"

I am so hype. Those were some great impressions.

 

[Pachimari]

Brazilian website Omelete have some new details on Daredevil. For one, The Gladiator is gonna have a large role in the series and will be Wilson Fisk's weapons guy; he will have things like a kevlar suit and armoured cars. The Owl will be Fisk's financial advisor, while other Marvel characters will also show up.

More details:

Additionally, the site spoke to Costume Designer Stephanie Maslanski, who commented on the Kingpin character. "Both Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk want to turn Hell's Kitchen in a better place to live", she revealed; confirming what we've heard about the villain having some good qualities. "Fisk is a guy who has a heart and a past. It is a deep and multi-layered character. He is far from be a grotesque and exaggerated character. We leave that to other programs that are on TV."

A few more bits:

- Matt Murdock lives on the top floor of an 8 story building.
- Rosario Dawson's Claire Temple (Night Nurse) works at Metro General Hospital.
- The series is aiming for a somewhat realistic tone, akin to The Wire or even Arrow.
- Matt's abilities are incredible but still very much grounded in reality.
- Atlas Investments is a company near the Nelson & Murdock Law office, an easter egg to the Pre-Marvel day of Atlas Comics.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Will there be Evanescence?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Save meeeeee.

 

[jetpacks was yes]

Haha,a "realistic tone" like The Wire or even Arrow. Those are pret-ty far apart on the realism spectrum.

AoS is really good now. Give it another chance.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Ive been worried about what floor Matt's apartment is on. I can relax now.

 

[Ithil]

Realistic tone

Arrow

Uh-huh.

I like Arrow and all but part of its success is completely embracing its comic book nature, the exact opposite of realism.
