Netflix’s marketing dept. kicked off their working day today by releasing the first image of Vincent D’Onofrio’s ‘Kingpin’ onto the Intertablet.
“The Judge” actor’s Wilson Fisk isn’t the first onscreen interpretation of the character; Michael Clarke Duncan played the role in the Mark Steven Johnson directed film.
The shadowy figure behind organized crime in Hell’s Kitchen, Wilson Fisk has one mission in mind: to save Hell’s Kitchen by any means necessary, no matter the cost. This immediately puts him at odds with Matt Murdock’s vigilante alter-ego, who also seeks to protect the city – but sees the criminal element as the root of the city’s problems. Central to this conflict is that Fisk truly believes he’s doing good for Hell’s Kitchen and at times may seem more of a hero to its people than Daredevil. Intelligent, complex and physically imposing, Wilson Fisk is the perfect foil for Matt Murdock, and the two will collide dramatically in Marvel’s Daredevil.
