Vincent D’Onofrio Says He Would Like to Play Swamp Thing in the DCU and the Fans Are Loving It

As a long-time fan of Vincent D’Onofrio’s captivating performances, I can wholeheartedly say that his potential casting as Swamp Thing in the DCU would be nothing short of a marvelous spectacle! Having grown up with his characters gracing the pages of my comic books, I can only imagine the depth and intensity he would bring to this iconic role.


As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but appreciate the screen presence of Vincent D’Onofrio. While he’s made quite an impact on the silver screen, especially as “Gomer” Pyle in Full Metal Jacket, his true fame lies in the realm of television. He first captured my attention as Robert Goren in Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and later, he became a household name as Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, in Marvel’s TV series.

After gaining popularity through Marvel’s series, D’Onofrio is eager to explore another significant fictional world – Warner Bros.’ DC Universe. Interestingly, it has been revealed that the actor has a specific character in mind he’d love to portray within this universe.

It’s not unusual to find actors who have played roles in more than one film universe, and since there’s speculation about D’Onofrio potentially appearing in a new role, fans are eagerly anticipating this possibility as it could be an exciting development for both him and the character he might play!

At Dragon Con (as reported by JeremyJLop), D’Onofrio expressed his views on comic book movies. While he acknowledged his affiliation with Marvel due to working on a Marvel project, he also declared himself a dedicated fan of DC Comics. Furthermore, he disclosed the character from the DC Universe that he would be thrilled to portray if given the chance.

“I don’t know if you guys are into DC [Comics] like I am. Obviously, I’m into Marvel, too, because that’s my job. My comic books when I was a kid was Captain America, Spider-Man, Swamp Thing, and Batman. So Swamp Thing.”

Without a doubt, this seems like a significant opportunity, and we strongly believe that D’Onofrio would excel as Swamp Thing within the DC Universe. Here’s hoping that Gunn takes notice, and eventually, D’Onofrio gets his well-deserved shot in the future. And if you share our enthusiasm, check out what the fans are saying – it seems everyone is on board with this idea!

Among the underappreciated performers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he stands out as a prime candidate for this part. His vocal qualities make him a strong contender too.
