Daredevil: Born Again Actor Wants Marvel & Sony To ‘Get Their S— Together’ for MCU Crossover

Vincent D’Onofrio, who plays Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) in the Daredevil: Born Again series, would love to see his character fight Spider-Man. He believes Marvel and Sony need to coordinate better to make that happen.

The second season of Daredevil: Born Again is coming to Disney+. This new season continues the story from the original Netflix series and will feature Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin and Charlie Cox as Daredevil, both returning to their iconic roles.

Kingpin, a character created by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr., originally appeared in a 1967 issue of The Amazing Spider-Man, making him a villain for both Spider-Man and Daredevil in Marvel Comics. With Vincent D’Onofrio’s popular portrayal of Kingpin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many fans are hoping to see him interact with Tom Holland’s version of Spider-Man/Peter Parker.

What did Daredevil: Born Again’s Vincent D’Onofrio say about Kingpin and Spider-Man?

Jon Bernthal won’t be appearing as the Punisher in the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, and D’Onofrio explained the reason on Twitter.

D’Onofrio mentioned that Jon Bernthal would have been welcome back for Season 2, but he was occupied with his own Punisher film and other work. D’Onofrio expressed excitement to see Bernthal in his new projects and acknowledged the opportunity those projects presented.

So, people are really buzzing about a recent comment referencing Jon Bernthal – they think it hints he might play the villain Vulture in the next Spider-Man movie! This got a lot of fans immediately hoping for a team-up between Spider-Man and Kingpin, which would be incredible to see on screen.

D’Onofrio expressed hope that Sony and Marvel will resolve their complicated rights issues, saying, ‘Maybe if they can get things sorted out…’

As a big fan, I’ve been following this closely. Apparently, there are some tricky rights issues between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures that limit where Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, can appear. Vincent D’Onofrio himself has explained it’s complicated, but basically, those issues mean he can show up in TV shows for now, but not in the Spider-Man movies. It’s frustrating, but hopefully they can work something out eventually!

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 premieres on Disney+ later this evening.
