Daredevil: Born Again star Vincent D'Onofrio has a DC character he'd like to play – and it's a pretty unexpected choice.

When asked on Twitter which character outside of his Marvel role of Kingpin he'd like to play, D'Onofrio simply replied: "Swamp thing"

Swamp Thing is a DC character who first appeared in 1971, and he's usually depicted as a monster closely associated with plant life. There have been several incarnations of the character, with the most notable being a chemist named Alec Holland who is also a member of Justice League Dark.

  • Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk in Daredevil: Born Again Kingpin actor says Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is "looking real good" as he shares a dark new image of the villain

There is also a Swamp Thing movie on the way, which will be unconnected from DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. Logan and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny helmer James Mangold is directing. He's previously described the film as a "simple, clean Gothic horror about this man/monster."

As for Daredevil, the finale is fast approaching, and season 2 is already shooting. "I am excited," Vanessa actor Ayelet Zurer recently told GamesRadar+. "I think it's an amazing season, even more exciting and crazy than the first but I can't say more than that."

As for DC, next up is the long-awaited Superman, which stars David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and hits theaters this July 11.
