According to a report on the Marvel Studios Spoilers subreddit, D’Onofrio will repeat his role as Kingpin in the coming period Hawk Eye Series. That alone might not be a lot, but D’Onofrio himself recently liked a tweet that specifically mentioned that D’Onofrio would appear on the upcoming series. What makes things even more interesting is that D’Onofrio has been different from the tweet since then.
While the subreddit does a great job of checking sources and news, it obviously still needs to be treated with caution, even if D’Onofrio likes tweets on social media. With no release information on Hawk Eye which are still available, fans will have to wait to see if the iconic character returns to the screen.
