For years, D'Onofrio was best known for his chilling performance as Pvt Gomer Pyle in Stanley Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket'. His iconic portrayal remains in the back of our minds decades later, but recently, he's gained much widespread recognition for his role as Marvel's most compelling villain Wilson Fisk. 

Additionally, D'Onofrio played Kingpin across three seasons of Netflix's 'Daredevil' and has reprised the character in the MCU, appearing in the Disney+ series 'Hawkeye' and the upcoming 'Echo'. D'Onofrio also won fans's hearts with his performance of the ruthless crime lord, who are now eagerly anticipating his next encounter with Matt Murdock in 'Daredevil: Born Again'.

Following several production delays and significant creative changes, 'Daredevil: Born Again' is finally moving forward, with D'Onofrio set to return alongside several other familiar faces from Netflix's 'Daredevil'. For the unversed, the returning cast includes Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Wilson Bethel as Benjamin 'Dex' Poindexter/Bullseye, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, and Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson. The series is slated to premiere on Disney+ in March 2025.
