Daredevil Kingpin casting and discussion thread

[NinjaTurtleFan]

how about, Pruitt Taylor Vince

Wow... he looks A LOT like Wilson Fisk!

 

[Rorschach2012]

Seriously Glenn fleshler is the best choice bya mile

 

[Rorschach2012]

Pruitt Taylor Vince looks more like Kyle gass than he does Wilson Fisk

 

[jolldan]

Few more awesome actors who would be up to the challenge

 

[Eddie Dean]

Nick Nolte LOL

 

[Rorschach2012]

Billy Zane LOL

 

[The Question]

Lol. Goodman is a gramps. He cant pass for Fisk.

Because Wilson Fisk's defining character trait is his youthfulness and boyish looks?


Fisk can be older, that fits the character fine.

I always thought Fisk was middle aged, say in his mid 40s. Goodman is in his 60s, he seems a little too old. Kingpin seems more middle aged then senior citizen.

Yes, thank you. Fisk has never looked like an old man which sadly Goodman does.

So what? Casting older won't change anything significant about the character.

Vincent D'Onofrio would be great but he already played Thor.

Well middle aged is how the character seems to be presented in the comics and I think Kingpin in his 40s is a more believable physical threat to DD then a Kingpin in his 60s. Really if Murdock if between 25 to 35, he is going to have a huge age advantage over a Kingpin in his 60s.

They don't actually have to trade blows. That's what Bullseye is for.

I want to see Fisk fighting hand to hand against DD. I can buy a fatman being a handful fighting but when you also make him a sixtysomething its just pushing it for me. I picture Fisk in his forties and extremely limber and surprisingly in great shape despite looking like obese.

Eh, that matters less to me than a great performance.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Yeah i definitely don't want a geriatric Fisk. Also, there are better choices than Goodman imo.

 

[marcvader]

Well we agree that we want a great performance.

John Goodman should be Bullet, anyways.

 

[Norrin Parker]

Little bit of odd casting here, he's a bit old but.

Kingpin and DD do trade blows in the comics though. Heck one of the most important moments in Born Again is when Kingpin beats the hell out of a defeated and dejected Matt Murdock and tries to murder him in a way that looks like accident, that was Matt's lowest point in the story, I don't think that scene would worked if Kingpin was a physical push over.

I think there are actors who are closer to the right age, who could pull of the Kingpin.

I like this choice.

 

[Six]

Vincent D'Onofrio is a great actor and he's also huge, so he would be a great choice.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Donofrio is a nice choice

 

[Matt]

how about, Pruitt Taylor Vince

He has the look but his presence is awful.
