Summary
Fan poster envisions Kingpin meeting MJ in Spider-Man 4, suggesting Vincent D'Onofrio's character would make a perfect villain for Peter Parker's next adventure.
Given Peter Parker's current personal crisis and lack of support, a street-level encounter with Kingpin in Spider-Man 4 would be a suitable storyline. The potential portrayal of Kingpin as the Mayor of New York City in Daredevil: Born Again adds to the danger he poses to all street-level heroes in the MCU, making him a formidable adversary for Spider-Man.
A haunting Spider-Man 4 fan poster envisions a encounter between Wilson Fisk and MJ. Spider-Man 4, featuring Tom Holland, has been officially confirmed, but production was temporarily suspended due to the Writers Guild of America strike. However, now that the strike has concluded, the film's script is progressing. Similar to Holland's previous Spider-Man films, the forthcoming Spider-Man 4 is expected to introduce a formidable antagonist. A talented fan artist on Instagram, @agtdesign, shared a captivating portrayal of a potential meeting between Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin and Zendaya's MJ in Spider-Man 4.
The fan art depicts MJ unaware of the identity of the man in front of her, Wilson Fisk, while she is working at the same donut shop featured in the ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Additionally, the fan poster provides additional details about Spider-Man 4, including its title as "The Spectacular Spider-Man" and a potential release date in December 2025, aligning with projected premiere estimates for the film.
Why Kingpin Is The Perfect Spider-Man 4 Villain
While the cancellation of the villain in Spider-Man: No Way Home could have potential for Spider-Man 4, D'Onofrio's Kingpin is the perfect addition to Peter Parker's upcoming MCU journey. After the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker finds himself in his most challenging predicament yet. Without the support of his friends, the Avengers, and Aunt May, along with the absence of access to Stark technology, Spider-Man will embark on a gritty street-level adventure in Spider-Man 4.
The upcoming MCU movie should take a different approach for its story for several reasons, including its predecessor. Spider-Man: No Way Home already utilized the multiverse concept, bringing together all three movie Spider-Men to fight villains from previous franchises. It would be difficult for Spider-Man 4 to surpass that level of grandiosity. Instead, a more personal story where Peter finds himself backed into a corner, struggling to navigate his new life while trying to help the community, would be ideal for Spider-Man. This is where Kingpin comes into play.
There are strong rumors that D'Onofrio's Kingpin will become New York City's Mayor in Daredevil: Born Again. This development could pose a significant threat to all the MCU heroes in New York. Kingpin has been portrayed as an evil mastermind in Netflix's Daredevil series, and his appearance in Disney+'s Hawkeye has made him even more physically formidable. As a result, he would make the perfect villain for Spider-Man 4. Kingpin could challenge Holland's Spider-Man through diabolical plans and intense fights. Additionally, Kingpin's inclusion in the film could result in the return of Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock, this time as Daredevil, to aid Spider-Man. This prospect is highly exciting.
