Kingpin's Future in Spider-Man: Insights from Vincent D'Onofrio

Vincent D'Onofrio Talks Kingpin's Future in Spider-Man

For Marvel comics enthusiasts, the possibility of Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, appearing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day remains a hot topic. Recently, actor Vincent D'Onofrio shared his thoughts on this speculation during an appearance on The Playlist's Bingeworthy TV podcast.

Rumblings of Kingpin's Return

Rumors about Kingpin's involvement in the upcoming Spider-Man film have circulated for some time. Fans were treated to a brief interaction between Daredevil and Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home, leaving many eager for more crossovers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Notably, there have been claims that D'Onofrio may have even filmed scenes for the new Spider-Man installment.

Rights Issues a Major Hurdle

However, D'Onofrio emphasized significant complications regarding rights that could keep Kingpin from making his appearance in the film. He stated, “No. I think I’ll just wait until they have the rights to my character and they put me in one of those movies...”. This highlights ongoing ownership conflicts that limit the character’s appearances.

“It's a very hard thing to do, because of ownership and stuff,” D'Onofrio added, noting that his character is primarily available for television adaptations rather than movie features.

The Future of Kingpin

Despite the challenges, there's still hope for a Kingpin-Spider-Man showdown in the future. While no immediate solutions are apparent, many believe that Marvel and Sony will eventually find a way to make it happen. For now, D'Onofrio's Kingpin will remain a prominent figure in TV, especially with the anticipated release of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.
