Vincent D'Onofrio is the MCU's Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. And he seems keen to do it indefinitely. And only one thing would have held him back. Luckily, accommodations have been made.
Vincent D'Onofrio the MCU's Kingpin indefinitely?
Speaking to ComicBook.Com about Echo, D'Onofrio revealed he'll keep playing Kingpin until they don't want him to. The only thing that would have changed that was if he had to put on weight for the role. Luckily, new muscle suit technology allows D'Onofrio to play the part without adding on the weight.

“I love these new kinds of ways that they actually construct the muscle fat suits that I have to wear. I think they finally work and feel right and look good,” D'Onofrio continued. “That helps a lot because it's not the healthiest thing in the world to keep putting weight on and taking it off again. So yeah, I mean, as long as the powers that be will have me, I can't see not playing this part, it's so much fun.”
