Kingpin actor Vincent D’Onofrio has confirmed in a new interview he wants to reprise the role of the Daredevil villain in the MCU.

Speaking to Screen Rant, D’Onofrio said, "I so badly want to play that character again. I love that character."

"I just have to wait for Marvel to ask me. I think it's very clear that I would, and the fans know that I would jump at the chance to play again. I just need to be asked," D’Onofrio said.

That’s not all on the Netflix front. Other actors from that stable of superhero characters have been vocal recently.

Charlie Cox said we should "wait and see" on whether he’s in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Jessica Jones actor Krysten Ritter, like D’Onofrio, is also very much open to playing the hardened private detective again.

Outside of JK Simmons’ J. Jonah Jameson, we can’t think of anyone better suited to their comic book character better than Vincent D’Onofrio and Kingpin. Let’s hope the King returns to his throne someday soon.
