Exclusive: Shocking New MCU Daredevil Details Reveal a Game-Changing Twist for Kingpin

Summary

Daredevil: Born Again will feature a different version of Kingpin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series, with Wilson Fisk rumored to become New York City's Mayor.

Matt Murdock, portrayed by Charlie Cox, seems to abandon his superhero persona and focus entirely on his role as a lawyer, while Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk now dedicates himself to aiding the citizens of New York.

It is possible that Kingpin's ultimate scheme revolves around utilizing his political power to track down the vigilantes of New York, which could have implications for other individuals like the Punisher and potentially Jessica Jones.

New story details have emerged for Daredevil: Born Again, hinting at a starkly different portrayal of Kingpin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series. Charlie Cox will reprise his role as Matt Murdock, while Vincent D'Onofrio will return as Wilson Fisk. The upcoming series will witness the reunion of these two characters, marking their first encounter since Netflix's Daredevil season 3. Interestingly, it appears that both individuals will embark on new journeys diverging from their previous storylines, which aligns with speculations surrounding Kingpin's role. Information obtained from the US Copyright Office indicates that Daredevil: Born Again will introduce a fresh chapter in the lives of Daredevil and Kingpin. The initial episode's synopsis teases Marvel Studios' presentation of "Daredevil," wherein long-standing adversaries Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) strive to relinquish their alter-egos and dedicate themselves to serving the people of New York. However, their pasts inevitably catch up with them. Although Marvel has not officially confirmed the copyright filing, the disclosed details correspond closely to existing rumors surrounding the show's narrative.

What Daredevil: Born Again's First Synopsis Means

The synopsis of Daredevil: Born Again is intriguing. It suggests that Matt Murdock, portrayed by Cox, has chosen to focus solely on his career as a lawyer, leaving behind his alter ego Daredevil. Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk, played by D'Onofrio, takes a different path, aiming to help the people of New York and reform himself. This synopsis ties in with the rumored storyline of Mayor Fisk in Daredevil: Born Again. According to persistent rumors, Kingpin will rise to power as the Mayor of New York City, causing immense challenges for the vigilantes who protect the city.

Matt's departure from Daredevil in Disney+'s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is surprising, but it is even more shocking that the MCU TV show portrays Fisk leaving his villainous ways behind to become Mayor of New York City. According to the Daredevil: Born Again synopsis, their pasts catch up to them, leading to rumors that Kingpin will use his political power to hunt down New York's vigilantes. The confirmation of Jon Bernthal's Punisher in the series suggests that more than just Daredevil will be affected by Kingpin's true plan.

There have been rumors suggesting that Krysten Ritter, who portrayed Jessica Jones, may make a return in the MCU series Daredevil: Born Again. Considering Bernthal's role as Frank Castle and the rumored threat Kingpin poses to all of New York's vigilantes, it would make sense for other characters from Netflix's The Defenders Saga, as well as MCU street-level characters like Echo, Hawkeye, and Kate Bishop, to make appearances. However, since Marvel has not released any official information about Daredevil: Born Again's plot and production has been delayed due to Hollywood strikes, MCU fans will have to wait longer to see how Kingpin's new role unfolds in the series.
