He was Gomer Pyle in Full
Metal Jacket, he was Orson Welles in Ed Wood, he was Edgar the giant cockroach
in Men in Black, he was Abbie Hoffman in Steal This Movie, and he was Carl
Stargher in The Cell, and now he is Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin in the upcoming
adaptation of Marvel's Daredevil.
In a recent interview, the
imposing (6' 11"/1.93m) actor talked about his experience on the show, his
character, and crossing over to the MCU. The actor didn't reveal too much about
the possibility of crossing over, but previous statements by Marvel did reveal
that if the four upcoming shows, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron
Fist, are successful, then a Defenders movie might follow, but only if.
On his experience filming the show so far:
"I gotta tell you, I couldn’t be working for
nicer people. I really am. I’m just having a great time. The whole — the way
that we’re shooting it, our Daredevil, everybody that’s in the show, is just
going so well. Tonight we have a big fight scene that’s happening. It’s the
first time you see my character do something physical."
On the potential crossover in the MCU:
"Well, I think they have some kind of plan. I’m
not really allowed to discuss what the plan is, but they have a plan. I think
the beginning of the plan is series stuff with Netflix, and then they have a
bigger plan to branch out, but I wouldn’t be able to tell you specifically what
that is."
On what we can expect from his take on this character:
"I think – it’s not just me, by the way, it’s the
writer. It’s Stephen DeKnight, it’s Jeph Loeb at Marvel, it’s the scripts, and
it’s me. I think it’s gonna be the … I hope — I should say – I hope it’s gonna
be the new way to look at Wilson Fisk. I think that there will be no other
Wilson Fisk but this one after we’re all done with it. That’s what we’re hoping for."
The 13-episode series stars Charlie Cox, Rosario
Dawson, Elden Henson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Peter Shinkoda, and Deborah Ann Woll,
and is showrunned by Spartacus creator Steven S. DeKnight.
"Marvel’s Daredevil" follows the journey of
Matt Murdock, who was blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary
senses, now fighting against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the
super hero Daredevil in modern day Hell's Kitchen, New York City.
