To the surprise of everyone at Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada’s “Cup O’ Joe” panel at New York Comic Con 2019 on Friday, Vincent D’Onofrio appeared to tell Stanley Kubrick stories from filming Full Metal Jacket, and to reminisce about spending his childhood summers in Brooklyn. D’Onofrio’s portrayal of Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, in Marvel and Netflix’s television series Daredevil is legendary, whether the show is able to come back or not.
