Marvel and Netflix are proud to announce that acclaimed actor Vincent D'Onofrio has joined Marvel's Daredevil, an all-new 13-episode series premiering on Netflix in 2015. Best known for his critically-lauded work in Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Men In Black, Full Metal Jacket and Homicide: Life on the Street, 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.

"We're incredibly proud to have an actor with the gravitas and versatility of Vincent joining Marvel's Daredevil in such an integral role. Wilson Fisk is an iconic villain whose cunning and power make him the dangerous equal of our hero."
