Vincent d’Onofrio already knows that he will not be in the huge to come from the Russo to come. Nor in any Marvel movie elsewhere …

No Kingpin to break them Avengers ?

Do not expect to see the name of Vincent D’Onofrio appear in the extra-large credits of Avengers: Doomsday. Don’t wait to see his character, The Caïd (Kingpin), face Spider-Man or anyone else in the cinema. Wilson Fisk does not have the right.

During his visit to the Podcast Happy Sad Confused, the actor was questioned by the host Josh Horowitz on the possibility of playing the villain against Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Dayscheduled for an outing on July 31, 2026, or even to participate in Avengers: Doomsday ::

“The only thing I know is that the answer is negative …”

He explains in stride:

“It’s very complicated for Marvel to use my character. It is a question of rights and property, and it complicates things a lot. »»

More precisely, Vincent D’Onofrio say that “Currently I can only appear in television series. Even a solo film on Fisk would not be possible, nor anything like this. Everything is blocked because of the rights. »» And nothing indicates that the situation will be resolved one day: “I don’t know when, or even if it can one day arrange. »»

Wilson Fiskalias the caïd, appears in the three seasons of Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix, in a few episodes of Hawkeye And Echo on Disney+, and currently in Daredevil: Born Again. And obviously, he will remain a television villain.
