Vincent D'Onofrio: Wilson Fisk Won't Hit the Big Screen Again

Apr 04, 2025 2:02 PM

In recent news, Vincent D'Onofrio, who portrays Wilson Fisk in the series "Daredevil: Born Again," revealed that due to rights issues, his character cannot appear in Marvel films. He emphasized that he is restricted to television appearances and cannot even star in a one-off movie. This limitation raises questions about D’Onofrio's involvement in future Marvel projects, including a possible "Daredevil" movie, where his role as Fisk would be expected. As the series continues to air on Disney+, fans are left pondering the implications of this news on the character's future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Can Wilson Fisk appear in Marvel movies?

No, Wilson Fisk, as portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio, is only permitted in television shows due to legal and ownership issues, preventing him from appearing in any Marvel films.

Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, is one of Marvel's most formidable villains, first introduced in the 2015 "Daredevil" series on Netflix. D'Onofrio's performance has been widely acclaimed, blending depth with menace in a character who has been a prominent antagonist in Spider-Man and Daredevil comics. The portrayal has garnered a fanbase that appreciates the nuanced approach D'Onofrio brings to the character, showcasing Fisk's complexity not just as a criminal mastermind but also as a deeply flawed individual. As "Daredevil: Born Again" establishes its narrative on Disney+, the absence of Fisk in movies may complicate story arcs involving the character in the broader Marvel landscape.
