Kingpin actor Vincent D’Onofrio has eased the fears of those who think Daredevil: Born Again may not be as bloody and violent as its Netflix predecessor.
“There are some things in this show that go much further than we did on the original [Netflix] show,” D’Onofrio toldRotten Tomatoes. “There’s one thing in particular that my character does that I can’t believe made it into the cut.”
Netflix’s Daredevil, which ran for three seasons, frequently pushed the envelope of what was to be expected from a Marvel series – including one notably bloodsoaked showdown between Charlie Cox’s vigilante and D’Onofrio’s Kingpin in the final chapter.
Cox and D’Onofrio will be returned by Daredevil returnees Deborah Ann Woll (Karen) and Elden Henson (Foggy). Jon Bernthal’s The Punisher is also back alongside a cast that features Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn, Michael Gandolfini as Daniel Blade, Genneya Walton as BB Urich, and Arty Froushan as Buck Cashman.
