As the MCU prepares to revisit a few familiar faces, don’t expect Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson ‘Kingpin’ Fisk to make an appearance.
The Daredevil: Born Again actor recently explained why his villainous character won’t make an appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, despite rumors that Fisk is now mayor of NYC in the MCU.
“No. I think I’ll just wait until they have the rights to my character and they put me in one of those movies, and then I’ll figure it all out,” said D’Onofrio on The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast.
