Netflix’s Daredevil series has been regarded as one of the best superhero shows of all time. Many fans believed it showed the most organic and authentic portrayal of Daredevil yet as Charlie Cox put on the performance of his career. Thankfully, Cox is returning soon and now Vincent D’Onofrio made it clear he has an interesting demand for a What If episode as well following the Daredevil reboot.
Just like all good things eventually come to an end, the same happened for Daredevil. The show ended after its third season on Netflix as the streaming platform stopped producing Marvel shows in general. As we already noted above, Cox will be reprising his role in Daredevil: Born Again and fans can’t wait for it to release.
Vincent D’Onofrio Has Unique Demand For A Marvel’s What If Episode
Vincent D’Onofrio made a name for himself for his portrayal of Kingpin in Netflix’s Daredevil show, where many believed he was perfect for the role. He came back in Hawkeye as well as in Echo and will also return for Daredevil: Born Again.
While speaking with ComicBook.com, Vincent D’Onofrio expressed his commitment to continue playing Kingpin for Marvel Studios as long as they want him to. Additionally, he shared his desire for a What If…? episode exploring a Fisk story, drawing inspiration from Joaquin Phoenix’s approach in 2019’s Joker. D’Onofrio expressed enthusiasm for the potential of such a project.
“I would love to do, like a, What If…? kind of Fisk story. I would just like to explore him in a, outside of the usual teaming up of villain and superhero. I’d like to see a truly more realistic version, kind of like what they did with the Joker … A more interior approach, and you know, 10 times darker than anything we’ve done with him before. You know, exploring that would be really interesting.”
Vincent D’Onofrio portraying his role as Kingpin inspired by Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker would certainly be a very interesting prospect that fans might genuinely enjoy, should it ever happen.
Fans Were Immediately Into Vincent D’Onofrio’s Idea on Social Media
Vincent D’Onofrio’s interesting desire to play Kingpin in the same vein as Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker for What If…? certainly struck a chord with many fans, as they took to Twitter and made it clear they really want it to happen one way or the other.
