Vincent D’Onofrio

Netflix will next formally turn its attention to the release of Marvel’s Daredevil, now that Season 3 of House of Cards fell on us this past weekend, and what better way than to introduce us to a figure more formidable thank Frank Underwood? Meet Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk, and Marvel debuts its first official photos of the new Kingpin!

After months and months of waiting, Marvel’s Netflix ‘Daredevil’ has at last shown its true face, debuting the first of the ‘Defenders’ with a full-length trailer. We’ve seen photos and footage of Marvel’s Man Without Fear, but what amazing feats does ‘Daredevil’ accomplish with its first full-length sneak peak trailer?

For as many new stills and hearsay as Marvel’s Netflix ‘Daredevil’ darts around, we still haven’t seen very much of the series itself, nor gotten a strong sense of its characters. Now, showrunner Steven S. DeKnight has opened up to explain ‘Daredevil’'s place and tone within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as preview the rise of Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin, and potential appearances from fan-favorite villain Bullseye.

No, you shouldn't adjust your computer screen. The above photo is of Vincent D'Onofrio, who shaved his head for his role as Wilson Fisk (aka Kingpin) in Marvel's upcoming 'Daredevil' series, to stream on Netflix in 2015. As he told ScreenCrush earlier today, tonight he's filming a big scene in Brooklyn where "it’s the first time you see my character do something physical." Given how intimidating the 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent' vet looks in person with this new look -- mind you, he's also 6'4'' -- we can't wait to see how his character comes to life on-screen.

One of few actors whose work can truly be described as brilliant, Vincent D’Onofrio's next project is Marvel and Netflix's forthcoming Daredevil series, in which he will portray Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin. This marks the second time D’Onofrio will inhabit the role of a Marvel character, following a small role as Thor in 1987's Adventures in Babysitting.
