Kingpin

Daredevil has been a breath of fresh air since it first aired on Netflix earlier this year – and one of the key reasons for its success has been the brilliant portrayal of Wilson Fisk AKA Kingpin by Full Metal Jacket and Jurassic World star Vincent D’Onofrio.

Like the show itself, D’Onofrio’s Kingpin has received universal acclaim. He has, thus far, been a brilliant, terrifying, complex and captivating villain.

Introduced as being almost shy and vulnerable, it turned out that – as expected, given the character he is based on – he is actually a powerful and ruthless criminal overlord with an almost supernatural level of control over the streets and the thugs he employs.

That level of power should bring him into conflict with the likes of the Avengers and, as a result, he really should be brought into the movies sooner rather than later – not least because D’Onofrio deserves it for his superb performance as the character.

It’s worth reminding people that, in addition to being a Daredevil villain, Kingpin is also very much a Spider-Man foe and, as a result, wouldn’t it also be cool to see a movie in which he is the antagonist to the Webbed Wonder?
