Currently filming in New York,
Daredevil is the first of at least four series in the Marvel and Netflix
partnership, with the fifth being The Outsiders if everything goes according to
plan.
So far the show only has one
villain confirmed, the iconic Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, played Vincent
D'Onofrio, who in a recent interview confessed that despite the different
incarnations he is finding inspiration in Frank Miller's version of the
character, and teased once again about the possibilities of doing crossovers.
Now that I have you in a good
mood, let’s talk about Daredevil.
Filming has been great. I can’t really talk about
specifics. Really. But I can tell you it’s all working. It’s all gritty.
Everything is really impressive. They seem to know what they’re doing over at
Marvel. I think ever since Downey and [Jon] Favreau did Iron Man and
proved that comic book movies could be really cool they’ve just embraced that
and taken it to the next level. They keep knocking it out of the park. This
Netflix series that we’re filming right now, it’s going to be so amazing to
watch. We’re doing these incredible, iconic scenes every single day. I have the
best character; I play one of the best characters I’ve read in a long time. I
haven’t had this much fun with a role for many years.
How much did you know
about the character before signing on?
I knew a bit about Wilson Fisk. I had seen the movies.
I saw other interpretations. But for this, they really wanted everything to be
fresh. They’re operating like they have been doing their movies. I’m finding
most of my inspiration for Fisk coming from the old artwork, artists like Frank
Miller.
Your new friend Downey must have been very excited you got the role.
He was thrilled. My wife actually texted him a photo
of me dressed as Kingpin and we got a very, very excited text back.
I look forward to the Iron Man
versus Kingpin crossover happening very soon.
[Laughs.] It’s not impossible! They have all kind of
plans. I think this Daredevil show is going to be the start of
some very exciting crossovers.
Daredevil stars Charlie Cox, Rosario Dawson, Vincent
D'Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Peter Shinkoda, 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.
