HAWKEYE Will Reportedly Feature The Return Of Vincent D'Onofrio As Wilson Fisk/Kingpin

Is it finally happening? With Daredevil rumored to appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home, it's now being reported that we'll see Vincent D'Onofrio as the Kingpin of Crime in DIsney+'s Hawkeye...

Over the past year or so, it's frequently been reported that Daredevil star Charlie Cox will reprise the role of Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home. From there, there's talk of him appearing in She-Hulk, and it feels a lot like Marvel Studios might be picking and choosing which Marvel Television characters to now make their own.

Something tells us that their respective histories won't be referenced directly, similar to how The Incredible Hulk was a very loose sequel to Ang Lee's Hulk (a soft reboot in other words). Regardless, it's impossible not to be excited by a piece of information shared by the r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers page on Reddit.

Moderators on there say they've been able to confirm via "verified sources" that Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk/Kingpin will return in Disney+'s Hawkeye. It's said that Daredevil was also supposed to appear in the series, but scheduling issues prevented that from happening. Hawkeye will reportedly be tied into Spider-Man: No Way Home in a bigger way than expected, hence why the show is going to hit the streaming service around the same time that movie is released.

Fisk is expected to show up in the fifth episode of the six-part series, and it will be very interesting to see how this all plays out. Remember, when the Multiverse was created, we saw branches start to connect, so perhaps that is what's led to these characters from the world of The Defenders finding their way "home"?

We know you're probably tempted to write this off because it came from Reddit, but reliable information has come from this page in the past, including the runtime of certain episodes of these Disney+ TV shows and various other plot leaks.

Assuming this is correct, chances are Daredevil and Fisk will factor into the planned Echo series.

ways Daredevil could make an impact in the MCU!

5. Behind Bars

Matt Murdock has spent time in prison not once, but twice. The first time came after his secret identity was outed to the world at large, and that led to the lawyer being called to task for his vigilante activities. It was a great storyline, especially as he was sharing space with many of his greatest foes.

It obviously wouldn't make sense for Marvel Studios to jump straight into this, but if his history as Daredevil is established well enough in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk, then it might not be too difficult to kick off a movie or TV show by having Matt find himself framed and behind bars.

Warner Bros. once planned to release a Supermax movie revolving around Green Arrow crossing paths with some of the greatest DC Comics villains in prison, but how cool would that be in the MCU?

4. West Coast Avenger

The Man Without Fear may be closely associated with Hell's Kitchen in New York City, but he's also spent quite a bit of time patrolling the (not quite so mean) streets of San Francisco.

That would be a great way to put a fresh spin on Daredevil's adventures, and moving out of the Big Apple certainly wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to the MCU. Throw in the fact that many fans are hopeful we could see the West Coast Avengers at some point - especially with T'Challa setting up a base there - and having Matt be a key part of that team could be a lot of fun.

It's true that Daredevil has never been much of a team player, but that could change with this fresh interpretation, and we'd love to see him assemble alongside the likes of Hawkeye and Vision.

3. Spider-Man's New Mentor

For whatever reason, the MCU's version of Spider-Man seemingly can't cope without a mentor. It's possible Peter Parker is just looking to fill the void left in his life by the death of Uncle Ben, but Matt Murdock - who the wall-crawler has a firm friendship with in the comic books - could be a very different sort of superhero for Spidey to look up to after teaming with Iron Man and Mysterio.

In Homecoming, the hero successfully put an end to The Vulture's plans to put dangerous weaponry on the streets. Since then, he's taken on much greater threats (including a trip into outer space for a battle against Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War) and his next movie looks set to heavily feature the Multiverse. So, what happened to being a Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man?

Daredevil would be the perfect superhero to remind him that normal people need Spidey's help too, and that could lead to us getting a web-slinger a little closer to what we see in the comics.

2. Street-Level Superheroes

As we've established, Daredevil is very much a street-level superhero, and beyond making Spider-Man aware of the people on the street who need him, the Man Without Fear can open the door to a whole new style of storytelling in the MCU. That was supposed to be what Netflix's Defenders were for, but Marvel Television didn't stick the landing; Marvel Studios, however, can.

Moon Knight appears to be heading down a more supernatural route than anything else, but there's an awful lot that can still be done with the likes of Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, The Punisher, and Elektra, not to mention the likes of White Tiger, Echo (who we'll meet in Hawkeye) and Cloak & Dagger.

We definitely wouldn't suggest another team-up, but it would be awesome for Daredevil to lead the way in something of a renaissance for characters like these either on the big or small screens.

1. Walters & Murdock

Traditionally, Matt Murdock has been part of a law practice alongside Foggy Nelson. If Marvel Studios is looking to shake things up a little, though, why not pair Daredevil up with She-Hulk on a permanent basis?

It's already been reported that Jennifer Walters is going to represent superhuman clients, so if Matt is her partner, then that would certainly explain why he helps Spider-Man out in the courtroom. Making Daredevil a key supporting character in She-Hulk makes sense for a lot of different reasons, and from there, the stage could be set for him to expand their practice elsewhere.

Some fans won't be happy seeing Matt relegated to supporting character status, of course, but Daredevil is in need of redemption after what we saw on Netflix, and this could be a good start in that respect.
