Fans of the Netflix original Daredevil have wondered if Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin will be entering the world of the MCU. D’Onofrio said that the chances of his character getting fit into the movies are pretty slim.
“I would love to switch over to the movies, but I think it’s pretty much been said it’s not going to happen. Or at least not for a very, very long time. I think [Marvel Studios boss] Kevin Feige explained that, and that’s what makes the most sense, he said the film universe is too jam-packed. It’s hard enough already, and if they keep bringing big characters in that they have to service in the writing, it’s not gonna work. They’re trying to figure out already how to individualise more and at the same time keep The Avengers going.”It makes sense not to mix the TV stuff, there’s just too many characters.”
