Warning: This article contains major spoilers for daredevil: born again season 1 finals
Daredevil: Born Again upped the ante for its season final in several shocking ways, including Kingpin’s descent into the Dystopian Ruler of New York City. While the show started with Wilson Fisc (Vincent d’Orofrio) looking to “save” the City as a reborn criminal, he eventually fell right back into the villain fans know and love to hate that was first introduced in Netflix’s Daredevil A decade ago. One RelentLessly Brutal Scene in Particular during the Born again Season final sticks out as the strongest indicator of this yet, and the actor himself addressed how it all came to be.
During an interview with variety, Vincent d’Orofrio was asked about his reaction to read the scene in which kingpin brutally murders commissioner gallo (Michael Gaston). The sequence is not only terrifying, but easily the goriest and most violent moment in all the mcu, including the original netflix series (which is saying something). D’Orofrio revealed that, as an actor, his first response to hearing about the scene was to quickly assess the best way to get it done, and make it feel like Daredevil. Suffice it to say, he pulled it off in spades.
“To be honest, my first reaction was, how are we going to do it? How are we going to make it different than other scenes that I’ve done? How can we make ours different than other violent scenes that have depicted the same child of Thing? Producers and special effects crew that we could block the scene so that it helped execute the way I was thinking about physical making it happened. It’s child of crazy as an actor to have to talk about things like that, but we want this show to be different. “

‘Daredevil: Born again’: All the Marvel Easter Eggs and References You might’ve missed
From the original marvel comics to the previous ‘daredevil’ series to McU movies, check out the easter eggs and references in ‘Daredevil: born again.’
It’s only fitting that the most violent murder in all the mcu came from the hands of Kingpin, who is now the ruthless mayor of New York City. The repercussions of the commissioner’s death are not clear yet, but it seems Born again Won’t Be Wasteing Too Much Time On The Consequences of Squemicing His Head in front of His Task Force. According to D’Orofrio, Wilson Fiscor Remains in Control of the Optics, and the Killing will only fuel how violent he wants the anti-vigilante task force to be.
“He’s definitely in power all by himself. He still has to keep his position as mayor somehow. The killing of commissioner gallo is done in front of his task force, so he wants them to be nasty as he is.
How far will Kingpin Climb in his Ascent to Power in ‘Daredevil: Born again’?
If blessed in the final moments of the final, Daredevil: Born Again Reveals that mayor fisc has enacted martial law, and has promptly jailed many of his detractors and opponents, including Frank Castle Aka Punisher (Jon Bernthal). What’s his grand plan? Well, Vincent d’Orofrio teases that kingpin wants to “complete as many crimes as he can” while martial law is in place, as well as kill off any and all vigilantes. This will help him maintain and increase his control over New York City until he can potentially “expand his reach” beyond the big Apple.
“His Grand Plan is martial law, and while he can hold the city in martial law, to complete as many crimes as he can and get rid of the vigilantes. That would be included in his mindset of being able, at some point, to expand his reach beyond New York.”
Does the Kingpin have aspirations of Holding the Oval Office? Not necessarily, as d’Orofrio does not see that in his future (although it becomes a possibility). “I don’t really think of him as a political person; I think of him as a corrupt person. I GUESS that could happen. I doubt seriously that he’ll take that path,” the actor stated.
