Vincent D’Onofrio Wants To Showdown With Spider-Man’s Tom Holland

If you are a fan of villains, then you have surely heard of the Kingpin. The larger-than-life character has become one of Marvels more popular baddies thanks to Netflix. Brought to screen by Vincent D’Onofrio, the crime lord starred in Daredevil when it premiered, and the terrifying mobster returned in season two. Fans continue to rank the villain as one of the best in the cinematic universe. And, now, it looks like D’Onofrio wants to take on a hero who’s even harder to entangle than Daredevil.

Over on Twitter, the actor was asked if he would like the chance to take on Tom Holland as he plays Spider-Man in the MCU. Obviously, D’Onofrio felt the question was a no-brainer.

“Oh yes I would,” D’Onofrio said. “Make it happen dude.”

Of course, the actor has said before he would love to have a part in the MCU’s theatrical space. However, given how crowded the franchise has become, D’Onofrio has resigned himself to the small screen for the time being.

“I would love to switch over to the movies, but I think it’s pretty much been said it’s not going to happen. Or at least not for a very, very long time,” the star told Digital Spy last year.

“I think [Marvel Studios boss] Kevin Feige explained that, and that’s what makes the most sense, he said the film universe is too jam-packed. It’s hard enough already, and if they keep bringing big characters in that they have to service in the writing, it’s not gonna work. They’re trying to figure out already how to individualise more and at the same time keep The Avengers going.”

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine โ€“ distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man โ€“ but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.

The cast includes Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr. It also includes Jon Favreau, Martin Starr, Kenneth Choi, Michael Mando, Selenis Leyva, Isabella Amara, Jorge Lendeborg, Jr., JJ Totah, Hannibal Buress, and Jacob Batalon.

Spider-Man: Homecoming directed by Jon Watts (Cop Car), based on a screenplay by Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley (Vacation reboot) and Jon Watts & Christopher Ford and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers.

Spider-Man: Homecoming opens in theaters July 7, 2017.
