Following Marvel Studios’ introduction of Vincent D’Onofrio’s character, the Kingpin, in the MCU, his exploits and consequences have primarily been showcased through streaming platforms. However, as per a recent update, it appears that this will no longer be the case.
In the first season of “Daredevil: Born Again,” Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, assumes the role of New York City’s mayor, which gives him a fresh surge of power and sets him on a path towards confrontation with Daredevil and other vigilantes. When inquired if this Mayor Fisk plot would link to projects beyond Daredevil, Punisher, and perhaps Spider-Man, Alex Perez from Cosmic Circus responded, “Primarily those three.
In the upcoming series “Daredevil: Born Again” Season 2 and the Marvel Studios’ Punisher project, it was anticipated that the Kingpin would play a role, given his established presence. However, similar expectations for the character in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” have yet to be fulfilled, despite longstanding fan requests for a crossover between these two iconic figures rooted in their comic book history and ties to New York City.
While it’s exciting to hear that the infamous crime lord could potentially make an appearance in “Spider-Man 4”, this move aligns well with expectations for this collaboration, strengthening connections between Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) shows on Disney+ and films produced by Marvel Studios. This development also seems to be in line with Vincent D’Onofrio’s stated ambitions for his character.
In the world of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it was truly a thrill to witness Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin make his grand entrance in Disney+’s Hawkeye, a tale woven around the vibrant backdrop of New York City. Post my brief encounter with him in Echo, I found myself reunited with Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock once more. This time, our reunion was not confined to Netflix’s Daredevil but instead, we were under the expansive umbrella of the MCU. The climax of Season 1 saw a triumphant Kingpin declaring martial law and setting his sights on vigilantes, marking an exciting turn of events for the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again.
Titled “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, this movie is confirmed for release on July 31, 2026 (with no delay rumors). The upcoming film, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” is anticipated to continue the storyline from “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Additionally, “Stranger Things” actress Sadie Sink has been cast in a mysterious role for this movie. Fans have been guessing that her character might be X-Men’s Jean Grey, Gwen Stacy, or possibly Mayday Parker.
How Kingpin Will Impact Spider-Man 4
It’s important to point out that there are whispers suggesting a connection between Kingpin and the “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” but this doesn’t necessarily guarantee that the character portrayed by Vincent D’Onofrio, the political boss, will make a physical appearance in the movie.
Given that Tom Holland’s Spidey resides in New York City under Mayor Fisk, it seems logical and even unusual if the character of Kingpin, played by Vincent D’Onofrio, doesn’t make some sort of appearance or have his political role mentioned. Additionally, having D’Onofrio’s villain present would serve as a fitting conclusion to Charlie Cox’s brief appearance in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” where he portrayed Peter Parker’s lawyer.
Is it significant how much ‘Spider-Man 4’ might delve into the character of Kingpin? Fans of Spiderman had hoped for a gritty, urban narrative during ‘Brand New Day’, but we’re smack dab in the middle of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga now. Interestingly enough, ‘Spider-Man 4’ is positioned between ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ and ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. If rumors are true and Sadie Sink takes on the role of Mayday, it could mean that ‘Spider-Man 4’ might be another Multiverse Spiderman tale. This might imply limited opportunities for Kingpin storylines.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is headed to theaters on July 31, 2026.
