Vincent D'Onofrio Interview: Echo and Kingpin's New Tech on the Show
64Disney+'s newest addition to the MCU is Echo, starring Alaqua Cox, as Marvel Studios' first deaf and Native American series lead, Maya Lopez. First introduced to viewers in their miniseries, Hawkeye, Lopez is a kickass antihero whose origin story we'll get to explore in the five-episode series that marks the first under the Marvel Spotlight banner, and will bring back a fan-favorite supervillain — Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin.
As his character's nickname would suggest, D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk is the crime lord pulling the strings of the MCU's NY-seedy underbelly. First portrayed by the Emmy-nominee in Netflix's hit series, Daredevil, Kingpin became the antagonist to Charlie Cox's eponymous hero. Following the Snap, Kingpin sought full control of New York again, and Maya Lopez's father fell victim to one of his schemes, setting her on a path of vengeance. In Echo, fans will get to explore more of that relationship between the antihero and the man who manipulated her into a life of crime. In addition to Cox and D'Onofrio, Echo also stars Graham Greene, Devery Jacobs, Chaske Spencer, and more.
In this interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, D'Onofrio talks about working with series director Sydney Freeland on the show and reprising his role as the villainous Fisk. Having portrayed the character since 2015, the actor believes he's best presented with a darker tone like the one the TV-MA rating allows for, which he also credits to the writing and direction, saying this is the first time since the Netflix series he's felt a comparative quality. D'Onofrio goes on to share his and Charlie Cox's excitement about returning to Daredevil: Born Again, the series reboot, and why he trusts the changes made during the overhaul.
