Vincent D’Onofrio has revealed that he is open to crossing over from the MCU to the DCU to play an iconic role.
The Daredevil star took to Twitter to retweet an article from CBR proclaiming that he would be perfect for the part of Swamp Thing, making it clear that he thought it was a brilliant idea.
Many of D’Onofrio’s followers fell in love with the idea, and could not hide their excitement.
Some die-hards wisely tagged DC Studio CEO James Gunn to bring the intriguing concept to his attention.
Many fans went wild when Gunn responded by liking D’Onofrio’s tweet as the Men In Black actor came one step closer to manifesting his wish with a humble social media post.
People were rooting for D’Onofrio to win the part in the thread, praising his performance as Kingpin in Daredevil and anticipating what he might bring to Swamp Thing.
Fans of Swamp Thing found the idea immensely satisfying as D’Onofrio’s tweet caught fire.
In the eyes of Swamp Thing fanciers, he ticked all the boxes, and they eagerly shared their support for the concept.
Another fan delved into the archives, praising D’Onofrio’s exceptional talent and performance in previous films.
The role of Swamp Thing has yet to be cast, but watch this space. D’Onofrio may yet leap from the MCU to the DCU to add the trademark depth, nuance, and intrigue he brings to his roles. Few actors can convey the full spectrum of the human experience as he does, bringing depth to the heroes he plays and vulnerability to villains, so there’s no doubt he would knock Swamp Thing out of the park.
