It seems that Wilson Fisk, the beloved villain of the Daredevil series, will not be able to make it to the big screen, according to the actor Vincent Donofio himself.
During a recent guest on the podcast "Happy Sad Confused," Donofio explained to host Josh Horowitz: "The only news I know is not promising. It was very difficult for Marvel to use my character because there were issues such as copyright involved. ”
He continued: "I can only appear in a TV series, not even a standalone Wilson Fisk movie. It's all about copyright. I don't know when this issue will be resolved – or if it will be resolved. ”
This statement seems to rule out the possibility that Donofio will play Kim and appear in any Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, which also means that he will not appear in the upcoming "Spider-Man 5" as well as "Avengers 0".
Will this also have an impact on any possible stand-alone Daredevil films starring Charlie Cox? After all, in a movie like this, the audience would rightfully expect the villain played by Donofio to appear.
Donofio's first appearance as "Kim Ju" was in Marvel's Netflix original series Daredevil. This 40-year-on-air series has three seasons and ends in 0 with 0 episodes. Over the years, Donofio's interpretation of the character has been well received by fans and critics alike.
