Thanks to USA Today and Marvel, we have our first real look at Vincent D'Onofrio as The Kingpin in Netflix's Daredevil series. We got a tease of the back of the character in a set of photos that were released last week, which you can check out here. The actor talked about the character and how he will portray him in an interview, saying:
"I just brought in this kind of character who in one sentence could easily go from being a child to a monster, depending on where his emotions take him. "
He later said:
"I wanted him to have an appearance of being super-powerful so that when he throws a punch, it's a major punch. There's a lot of weight behind it."
When I found out that D'Onofrio was cast in this villain role, I thought he was a great choice. He definitely looks the part, and I think he's going to destroy it. I mean that in the best possible way!
Marvel’s Daredevil” is a live action series that follows the journey of attorney Matt Murdock, who in a tragic accident was blinded as a boy but imbued with extraordinary senses. Murdock sets up practice in his old neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen, New York where he now fights against injustice as a respected lawyer by day and masked vigilante at night.
