Yeah I actually had the same issue with D'Nofrio's casting on that show, although less so, because Vincent D'Nofrio is still a rather big fella (as highlighted rather brutally in his unforgettable role as Pvt. Pyle in Full Metal Jacket). Between that and the earlier Michael Clark Duncan (RIP, king) version we haven't had a live action Kingpin that actually looks like the OG Marvel comics character (probably difficult to find an actor with something close to that body type AND any degree of name recognition, but I can dream of a white widebody Wilson Fiske on screen).

I think the more comics-accurate version of KP just wouldn’t fit the Daredevil show with its “gritty realism” approach, so D’Onofrio is miraculously good casting for their version and kinda owns a whole take on the character that is unique to that ’verse.

Then over in Spider-Verse land, you’ve got a Fiske so big and round he may just be a Ninja Turtle. I will probably wind up doing the Spider-Verse characters as well so there may just be a “white widebody” (that’s hilarious) Fiske sprite on the horizon.

EDITED TO ADD: I am also a Duncan Kingpin enjoyer. Just had a convo w/ my wife recently (we’re rewatching Daredevil show) about how he brought one kind of charisma to the role, a swagger I guess, where D’Onofrio brings his own, which is more to do w/ vulnerability.
