First Photo of Vincent D'Onofrio as The Kingpin in DAREDEVIL
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!
