Don't Expect To See Vincent D'Onofrio Show Up As The Kingpin In Marvel And Netflix's THE PUNISHER Series

This is bound to disappoint fans, but Vincent D'Onofrio has stated that there's no chance of seeing him return as Wilson Fisk to reignite his feud with Frank Castle in The Punisher. More past the jump...

Vincent D'Onofrio is a very active presence on Twitter, frequently interacting with fans and answering any Marvel-related questions to the best of his ability. The Magnificent Seven actor has already confirmed that he won't be reprising the role of Wilson Fisk/Kingpin for The Defenders, but a lot of people expected him to return for another showdown with Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle after their brutal confrontation in Daredevil season 2.

Well, even though that will almost certainly still happen someday, it's not going to go down in Netflix's solo Punisher series.

Nope not a chance. No plans. Zero https://t.co/MC5oqdKekk

While it's always possible D'onofrio is simply trying to throw fans off the scent (he did make a surprise appearance in Daredevil season 2, after all), his reponse does seem pretty definitive.

When do you guys think we'll see Fisk in action again? Drop us a comment below.

Did't expect to see him anyway. He still has jail time to serve and he's building that FILE up on Matt.

Soon...

Not bothered to be honest. I love his Kingpin, but overkill can be a bad thing too. I'm not sure if he's showing up in Defenders, but i would be perfectly happy saving him for DD season 3 (where he should be kicking all kinds of ass)

TheManWithoutFear - 2/8/2017, 2:17 PM

If Born Again is DD S3 then Cap needs to have a cameo. That would be the stuff of dreams. I feel like Evans would be up for it.

Recast him with actor Tony Cox. Problem solved.
