Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, is returning in Daredevil Season 3, and in a new interview with Collider the actor shed some light on his character's return.
When asked how his character and the script for Season 3 compares to previous seasons of Daredevil, D'Onofrio said, "It’s hard to top the first season, with Steven DeKnight’s writing, but Erik Oleson [the new showrunner] is a very good writer. I’ve shot some pretty cool scenes, so far. It’s different, but it’s very Fisk. It’s still very emotional. The character is evolving. His whole deal is based on emotion, so we’re taking him down that role further."
Unfortunately, D'Onofrio couldn't talk too much about the new season and how prison has changed Kingpin, but he did tease "there are new focuses and new goals" for the character. "That’s all I can say," he reasoned. "If it was up to me, I would go on and on and on about it because it’s so interesting, but it’s so important to them, for us to keep our mouths shut."
Of course, he was able to slip in one last teaser that'll surely get fans of the show hyped for Season 3. "I can only say that we’re doing things that are just going to blow the fans away," D'Onofrio teased. "We’ve already shot some things that are just going to be neat for the fans. There’s some awesome things that are very much in the history of Fisk and Daredevil, that people have been waiting for. We’ve already put some of that stuff in the can, and there’s a lot more to do. I think they’re gonna be very happy."
Netflix has yet to announce a premiere date for Marvel's Daredevil Season 3, but it will debut on the streaming service some time in 2018.
