Cinema Blend

Following the cancellation of Netflix’s Daredevil, what a pleasant surprise it's been for both Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Marvel characters to get a second life in the MCU. With D’Onofrio reprising the legendary comic book villain Wilson Fisk as a part of the Echo cast and Daredevil: Born Again, which is among upcoming Marvel TV shows, CinemaBlend spoke to the actor about whether he differentiates his two eras as Kingpin.   During my conversation with Vincent D’Onofrio, where he also shared his thoughts on his Echo arc being a “good start” for his upcoming Daredevil return, I spoke with him about how he treats his performance as a whole between his original Daredevil run and its continuation in the MCU.

00:52 show, you know. I think that there's going to be a lot of what's in Echo when it comes to my
