Back in 2015, actor Vincent D’Onofrio was given a seemingly impossible task.

Bring an iconic Marvel villain, the Kingpin, to life in a Netflix live-action
without the influence of Marvel Studios. Not an easy assignment when you
consider that Marvel Studios was at the height of its Hollywood popularity at
the time, and that other Marvel franchises outside of its scope (Fox’s
pre-merger X-Men and Sony’s Spider-Man) were losing cool points for missing out
on the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s interconnective party. But then a funny thing
happened.
