DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Star Vincent D'Onofrio Responds To Rumors He'll Return As Kingpin In SPIDER-MAN 4

With Daredevil: Born Again establishing Wilson Fisk as New York City's new Mayor, a clash with Spider-Man seems inevitable. Unfortunately, Vincent D'Onofrio has cast doubt on showing up in Spider-Man 4.

Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin of Crime made his MCU debut in Hawkeye, with Echo later revealing that Wilson Fisk had survived being gunned down by Maya Lopez. 

Having failed to bring her in line, Fisk later returned to New York City with his sights set on becoming Mayor. Daredevil: Born Again has revealed that his Mayoral campaign was a success...and that he's intent on stamping out the Big Apple's vigilantes. 

That could spell trouble for Spider-Man, though the chances of the wall-crawler crossing paths with Fisk are looking increasingly unlikely. 

Had 2023's Hollywood strikes not happened, Daredevil: Born Again's planned 18 episodes might have led straight into Spider-Man 4, giving fans the Spidey/Daredevil team-up they've long dreamed of.

A lot has changed since then, of course, and while Daredevil: Born Again season 2 could be released before Spider-Man 4, that movie being sandwiched between Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars almost certainly means it's going to be a Multiverse story. 

Yesterday, the usual social media accounts started sharing a "rumour" - with no source - that D'Onofrio has officially been cast in Spider-Man 4 alongside Sadie Sink. The actor himself has since responded and said, "Is that right? Well no one has told me."

At this stage, it's probably best to forget Spidey getting involved in the Man Without Fear's battle with the Mayor. If Spider-Man 4 is set on Earth-616, then vigilantes being outlawed - we're assuming that's where Daredevil: Born Again is heading - may be referenced somehow. Beyond that, who knows when Peter Parker and Matt Murdock will team up? 

"I think if the powers that be want that to happen then it will happen, you know?" D'Onofrio said last year of a possible meeting with Spider-Man. "I think there certainly hasn't been any kind of talk that it's not gonna happen. I mean, to me that's the direction that we should go in...but who knows? You know, you get these calls and they're like, 'Oh we're doing this now.' I'm like, 'Oh, okay.' You know, it's like that."

More recently, he's said, "You can ask that because we're not in Spider-Man 4, or at least nobody has told me that we are."

Spider-Man 4 has been officially dated for July 31, 2026, with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton helming a script penned by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

Lol , this is how lot of baseless rumors get started which is some idiot on the internet trying to make their fan casting or wishful thinking into reality…

Anyway , I’m glad Vincent debunked it though I’m sure it won’t stop others for trying to pass this around as the truth.

I hope we do get an interaction atleast between Holland’s Spidey and D’Onofrio’s Kingpin soon.

Depending on how Season 4 ends and how Season 5 shapes up, he should. He pretty much name-drops old Web-Head, and his war on vigilantes affects Spider-Man as well. Let him unleash those Spider-Slayers with Smythe and send in the Scorpion, you cowards!

@MyCoolYoung - I agree , hopefully Spidey 5.

Also your idea sounds real fun!!.

@TheVisionary25 - Man, seeing hopefully Spider-Man 5 hurts my soul. Seems no way 4 won't be a multiversal romp. Seems more so than anyone else, Spider-Man has dealt with the fallout of the phases.

The idea makes too much sense. Hopefully, Spidey 5, like you said 🤞🏾

Didn't he already confirm he wasn't in it? He doesn't strike me as a bullshitter. And I don't mind it if he appears in Spider-Man 5 instead. Let Born Again runs its course first

This is the Spider-Man movie people wanted but we're obviously not getting it. Putting Spidey in DD:BA S2 would be a nice consolation prize. Then they can do Kingpin and DD in the reboot at some point, but it's gonna be a while before people are ready to move on from Charlie and Vincent, so they should probably wait until the third college-based movie for that.
