Even the Kingpin has people he loves! New Daredevil: Born Again set photos show off a reunion Marvel-Netflix fans have been waiting years for.
Recent weeks have seen the attention driven away from Kingpin on the set of Daredevil: Born Again, leaving many to almost forget Vincent D’Onofrio will be reprising his iconic role in the series. The newest batch of set photos put the villain centerstage, highlighting a reunion between D’Onofrio and Ayelet Zurer’s Vanessa Fisk.
These are the first set photos showing Kingpin and Vanessa Fisk together following confirmation that Ayelet Zurer would be returning to the role. Vincent D’Onofrio had previously expressed hope to reunite with Zurer prior to her recasting in Daredevil: Born Again, so it’s heartwarming to see the two actors together once more as the series enters its second half of production.
Daredevil: Born Again’s Continuity Problem
While it’s fun seeing Vincent D’Onofrio and Ayelet Zurer reunite on the set of Daredevil: Born Again, these set photos reveal some huge problems with the MCU’s continuity. The last time fans saw Kingpin was in Echo where the villain was left with a nasty scar from being shot through the eye, a scar now notably absent from these set photos.
It’s possible that Daredevil: Born Again takes place prior to Echo on the MCU timeline. However, given Kingpin was set to run for mayor last time fans saw him, it may be confusing for Vincent D’Onofrio to suddenly be portraying an entirely different version of the character.
