Marvel says of the Fisk Character :
D’Onofrio will play Wilson Fisk, a powerful businessman whose interests in the future of Hell’s Kitchen will bring him into conflict with the blind attorney Matt Murdock and his alter ego Daredevil.
They call him a businessman but they do not call him Kingpin.
The spec:
Kingpins first appearance is a pricey one, he fist appeared in Amazing Spider-man #50.
The better bet is Kingpin’s first appearance in Daredevil (Yes, he was a Spider-man villain first) was in Daredevil #170 with copies under $10.
Bought a NM copy of Spiderman # 50 about 15 years ago for $5.00 . Not a bad return,huh?
No not at all.
Any guessing on the plot? Or plot points? My prediction is that they will kill off major characters in the course of a season to keep the excitement up.Maybe death of Electra or death of Karen page. They need to pack a punch.
I am thinking it will be slow to see MM in costume. At the end of the first season he goes from wearing all black into the classic reds. That is my best guess so far.
