This "Fear" trailer is so freaking amazing that I actually got goosebumps all over my body and it was quite scary in the beginning. It made me feel what NY ruled by Kingpin is like. And I would love to know the name of the music they used.

Same here! That trailer got me so hyped. This looks fantastic and I can't wait.

Compilation of some of the Q & A from Reddit

http://comicbook.com/2015/04/04/vincent-donofrio-would-love-kingpin-to-be-in-captain-america-civ/

This Friday (April 10), Netflix will release all 13 episodes of Marvel's Daredevil. To help promote its release Vincent D'Onofrio, who plays Wilson "The Kingpin" Fisk, and Charlie Cox, who plays the Matt "The Man Without Fear" Murdock, participated in a Reddit AMA session.

Below, are a collection of replies from both Cox and D'Onofrio that were most intriguing. If you'd like to read all of their comments, click here.

Which Marvel cinematic universe actors would they like to work with on another Marvel project?

Vincent D'Onofrio: So far, all of them. I think that what Marvel is doing is amazing. I do have a soft spot in my heart for Iron Man. I know Fisk made a deal with him during Civil War, I'd love to see that happen. But one can only hope.

Charlie Cox: I really think Chris Evans does an amazing job as Captain America and I happen to think him and Daredevil would work well together. Other than that, Black Widow?...Can you blame me?

Their pet peeves on the set?

Charlie Cox: There was a big bald guy on the set that had really bad breath. It's weird, I feel like I can smell it now.

Vincent D'Onofrio: Little red outfits.

What was Vincent's reactions when he found out he would be playing Wilson Fisk?

Vincent D'Onofrio: I loved the character, I knew him from the comic books when I was kid. What really inspired me was the way Steven DeKnight wrote him. I looked forward to reading every script, because I knew the writing was going to be so good.

Were they given any comic books to read?

Vincent D'Onofrio: Given? No. We had to go out an buy it ourselves! (Charlie gave me a Daredevil graphic novel that I pretended I didn't have already.)

Why would Vincent recommend Netflix's Daredevil?

Vincent D'Onofrio: I would recommend it because it's a new way of doing a superhero show. It's something unlike what you've seen before.

Because of Steven DeKnight's writing and, as I said, the platform under this umbrella of Netflix. Netflix allowed us the time and gave us the care to get it right, so you'll have 13 hours of storytelling. That's something, when it comes to superheroes, you've never experienced before. And I believe that we took the time they gave us and we were inspired by the material. And in my opinion, knocked it out of the park.

Which Marvel movie would Vincent like to see his Kingpin show up in?

Vincent D'Onofrio: Civil War. I'd like to not just be in one, but the whole series. Also, since Spidey is back at Marvel, there was no other badder nemesis in Spidey than Wilson.

Describe Wilson Fisk in 3 words?

Vincent D'Onofrio: Child and monster.

What's Vincent think of Cox's portrayal of Daredevil/Matt Murdock?

Vincent D'Onofrio: I think that one of the great changes that Charlie made as an actor was to not divide the two-- Matt Murdock and Daredevil. They are one. I believe that was Charlie's choice, and an actor, and that was very smart. That unlike other superheroes, there's really no change when the vigilante outfit is on. He is Matt Murdock and Daredevil all the time.

Charlie's favorite Marvel characters besides Daredevil?

Charlie Cox: Since I got cast in the role, I have read hundreds of comics. There are so many great characters but some of my favorites are the following: The Punisher, The Purple Man, and Thor.

Favorite Daredevil comic book story arc?

Charlie Cox: I really love the issues when Matt Murdock is defending the White Tiger. It was so cool to read a comic book with such a compelling courtroom scene. I also have to mention Jeph Loeb's Daredevil Yellow. So touching.

What Charlie finds interesting about Matt Murdock/Daredevil?

Charlie Cox: I like to think that Daredevil is labeled the Man Without Fear by the public who see what he does but actually, he is a man who feels fear like the rest of us. I am impressed by someone who is frightened but chooses to act anyway.

His reaction to seeing the red Daredevil costume for the first time?

Charlie Cox: I can tell you when they showed me the first drawings of the suit, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I can't wait for the fans to see it.

His martial arts preparation for Daredevil?

Charlie Cox: My stunt double has trained in many different forms of martial arts. I learned from him a mixture of them all. I also wanted to incorporate a sense of the boxer in Matt, like his father.

Any campy Daredevil villains he'd like to take on?

Charlie Cox: I have no idea if it could ever work in our show but I would love to see Stilt-Man make an entrance. Maybe even Jester.

Parts of Daredevil's personality that he sees in himself?

Charlie Cox: In our show, we get to see Matt Murdock experience great inner conflict and doubt over what he is doing. Hopefully that makes him seem more human and is something that I relate to a great deal.

Q)What are your pet peeves, guys? Especially on set, if any? Thanks for doing this AMA!

Vincent D'Onofrio: Little red outfits.

Charlie Cox: There was a big bald guy on the set that had really bad breath. It's weird, I feel like I can smell it now.

This was the best one

Also this, he was definitely trolling with the answer, everyone thinking he was going to say something kinky

Q) What's at the top of your guys' bucket list?

Charlie Cox: I saw 50 Shades of Grey the other day and in it, there is a scene where the two characters go gliding. I remember thinking "What a rush that would be."

To be totally honest: Batmans fighting style sucks. I think Daredevil would kick his ass.

Nolan Batman maybe...

Anyone know at what time it will be uploaded? Trying to plan a premiere watch party.

I believe its at 3am ET

Do all the Netflix shows go up at 3?

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

It's getting so close, less than a week now

 

[Surfer]

Do all the Netflix shows go up at 3?

I heard 3:00AM initially and more recently read somewhere it begins at 12:01AM, but not sure what time zone or that the info was acurate.

I hope its midnight. Can anyone else confirm?

 

[Man in the Suit]

3:01am EST

 

[Hypestyle]

Are there names for the episodes yet?
Have the writers and directors for the episodes been revealed yet?

 

[Six]

12:01 for me on the west coast. I always get ready to watch on Thursday and as soon as it hits midnight I watch.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Fans of the MCU, come and vote for your favorites. It would be much appreciated.

Here I found where I heard it. It came directly from Charlie Cox's mouth. Link below.

Fast forward to about the 4:35 mark.

Now to me I haven't seen David Letterman in a while, but it looks like it is suppose to be New York in the background which to me suggests they would be talking about EST. However, it could be a mistake or I could be wrong about where David Letterman is filmed.

Nah, I'm thinking it'll likely be 2017 at the earliest. It's not so bad. If we're really thinking of this as less a TV series than a 13-hour movie, then a 2-hour turnaround for a movie is pretty decent.

The wait depends on the quality of each show. If they all rock, it won't be a problem waiting.

 

[Joesh]

If it's 3:00 est, that's definitely good for me (Fri eve). I was thinking I'd be sleeping through it's opening hours and have to dedicate Saturday through Monday afternoon to complete all episodes, but I think I can slip in 3-4 on Friday night now.

 

[Joesh]

I have a feeling I won't be able to sleep at the end of each day. From what I've gathered, there are cliffhangers (of course there would be, but more).

 

[Rowsdower!]

I wonder... do you think this show could be a game changer for the superhero genre? If it's as good as we're all hoping it is, do you think we'll see more fans clamoring for superhero TV shows (that don't follow the procedural/freak-of-the-week format) instead of superhero movies?

Up until now, the superhero genre on TV has been average at best. You have shows like Arrow and The Flash, which are pretty good, but also fall into soap opera territory regularly, and routinely play the aforementioned freak-of-the-week card. Then you have stuff like SHIELD and Agent Carter, which tie into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but are on the periphery... they're shows that focus primarily on non-superhero characters in a superhero world. And then you have crappy crap like Gotham which is just crap with a capital crap.

But this... this looks like a way to TRULY translate comic books to live action, because you have the time to tell a larger story and fully develop the hero, the villain and the supporting cast, with movie-worthy cinematography and fight choreography. I feel like this show might really change the way people look at superheroes in live action.

I wish I could Time Travel like the Flash and make it Friday. The Wait is killing me and I can't wait to watch this show.
