16 Perfect Superhero TV Show Casting Choices That Nailed Their Characters
6. Vincent D'Onofrio - Wilson Fisk (Daredevil)
Who would've thought that Private Pyle would've made such a threatening Marvel villain? Clearly Drew Goddard did, and boy, what an absolute zinger of a casting did this turn out to be.
Simply put, D'Onofrio is the living embodiment of the Kingpin. He's nailed everything from the sheer ruthless determination of the character to his primal rage as well. Each time he walks on screen you just know something terrible is about to happen, as his viscous demeanour is only surpassed by his enormous physical presence. He's an utterly terrifying character on and off the screen, so to see that represented to its fullest extent - from the perspective of a massive Daredevil fan - is absolutely incredible.
Gearing up for season 3, you just know Fisk has some big plans ahead. It's hard to imagine anyone else portraying them with the appropriate level of threat needed to do so convincingly.
