Best known for his role as the Marvel baddie Kingpin, Hollywood star Vincent D’Onofrio is all set to return in his villainous avatar in Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Echo. As fans eagerly wait for the series, the actor has also confirmed that fans will get to see more of him in Marvel shows including the highly anticipated Daredevil: Born Again alongside Charlie Cox. Months after the show got a full overhaul from the studios, D’Onofrio in a recent conversation has finally confirmed being part of Born Again.
Considering the latest development, it seems like the vibes are completely positive for Disney+ Hotstar and Marvel’s highly-anticipated series. The Kingpin star in a special conversation with Ashish Chanchlani spoke about his role as Kingpin in the MCU show. Apart from that, he also shared how Echo will be exploring the father-daughter relationship between his character and Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez.
“Going straight from ‘Echo’ to ‘Daredevil: Born Again’, the new series, it’s great. I haven’t had this much fun playing a character in a long time," he said.
As Ashish further went on to ask about the actor’s equation with Charlie Cox, known for playing Daredevil, D’Onofrio added, “We see each other so often. Even if we are not travelling during the press, we are working together on the show. Over time, we have become really good friends. We think alike when it comes to our dedication and commitment to our parts and the writing. Just the whole commitment to the situation we are in with Marvel. We are also very similar in our approach to our job which has evolved into a great relationship."
