In exclusive phone interview with Collider, Vincent D’Onofrio revealed that he hesitated to sign on as Wilson Fisk in Marvel's Netflix series, Daredevil, and wanted to speak with Jeph Loeb and showrunner Steven DeKnight first before signing on. D'Onofrio says that it was after the "second [phone call] with Jeph and Steven DeKnight," that he was convinced to sign on.

The actor then says that the tone is unlike anything we are expecting and that "emotionally, it goes places that I don’t think anybody is going to expect."

When asked about Marvel's plans for Fisk after Daredevil D'Onofrio revealed  that you never know with Marvel because "they have their world, but they don’t like to spoil anything, so nobody knows until it’s set in stone."

Collider then asked the actor about Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World to which he replied by praising the script and the director saying, "It’s a really good script, and Colin Trevorrow, the director, is just a really great guy."

Also, this is the first time I realized that the name of the dirctor of Jurassic World is Colin Trevorrow.

For some reason, I've been reading it as "Trevorwood" this whole damn time.

If it happens to be true so many people who shat on my idea are going to be scratching their heads big time. LOLOL "It doesn't make sense for Vision to have a soul gem, what's it gonna do help him capture souls?" lol Ahhhh in due time... ;)

@Melkaticox the soul Jen actually makes sense, not only do they have another infinity stone but it makes sense that having the SOUL jem is what would make vision turn on ultron by letting him feel emotion by having something similar to a soul. The visions solar jem only powers the vision and I'm sure the soul stone could do the same just imagine seeing Thanos ripping it out if poor visions head in front of the avengers

"Oh, silly DC fanboy.
Thinking that Batman movie will be good :)"


Surely there's something better to do than troll DC on a Marvel article...

Both this and Batman v Superman will be awesome. Wow. Revolutionary thought, right?

I'm looking forward to this but trying not to get too hyped on what the actors themselves have to say. Too many times I've been burned by the impression given from an actors interview. I recall Ray Stevenson in particular talking up the Warriors Three yet they had about the same amount of screen time as Sleipnir.

At least we know Kingpin is a central character and its 13 hours so fingers crossed
