Daredevil star Vincent D’Onofrio has teased the return of Marvel supervillain Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin. The actor took to social media to share an image of a metal flask with the word “FISK” emblazoned across it. While it doesn’t show the character himself, the very fact that D’Onofrio will be back as The Kingpin is surely enough to have fans cheering and squealing with gleeful excitement.

Kelley, so were you approached on the acting side or on the music side, or how did that all work out? Vonda Shepard: Well, actually I knew David. He was a friend of mine, I was friends with his wife. They used to come and see me play at this little tiny club....

It has been over a year since the release of WandaVision, the first Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) series on Disney+ and the official start of Phase 4. Giving the spotlight to Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) after years of being supporting characters, the series became a massive hit and captivated audiences each week with a mystery of what exactly was happening. The series arrival during the COVID-19 pandemic seemed perfect, as the show itself was about retreating into the comfort of nostalgic television during a period of uncertain depression, much like audiences were stuck inside binging familiar comfort series....

Well, that would be too easy and after taking coins from the forbidden Fontana de Amore, she suddenly finds herself the apple of many a man’s eye....

The Matrix Resurrections goes back to the integral source code that made the original so captivating.

I was enthralled, but readily admit that fandom may be divided....

Sounds juicy right? The Night Clerk is initially compelling, but loses steam considerably as the narrative wanes....
