We may never get a fourth season of Daredevil, but that doesn’t mean another battle between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk is out of the question. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there have been recent events which have officially linked back to Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix. Before we move on, be warned that there are MAJOR SPOILERS for Hawkeye and Spider-Man: No Way Home up ahead.
In the season finale of Hawkeye, Vincent D’Onofrio was back as Kingpin, and the actor says it’s the “same guy” he portrayed on Daredevil. Meanwhile, Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock appeared in the MCU recently as well with a surprise cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Given their history, another showdown between Kingpin and Daredevil could be interesting if the characters ever meet again on-screen. It remains to be seen if they’ll only appear in separate projects or if their feud will one day be revisited.

D’Onofrio has since addressed his return to the role of Kingpin in a new interview with TVLine. The actor was asked about a potential reunion with Charlie Cox in the MCU, and for his part, D’Onofrio admits he hasn’t thought too much about the idea. Even so, once posited with the question, the actor also says he’d “love” to see it happen, and we’re sure the fans would as well. He’s never saying never because his recent return in Hawkeye made him realize that anything is possible.
In any case, D’Onofrio is clearly up for doing more in the MCU as Kingpin if there’s room for the supervillain in other stories. He has a short wish list of other characters he would like to see Kingpin meet based on his comic book history. That includes Daredevil, but the Punisher and Spider-Man are up there as well. Aside from potential feuds with superheroes, D’Onofrio also wants to see more of Kingpin’ relationship with Maya explored in the upcoming Echo spinoff series.
Tom Holland has also said that he’d like to see his Spider-Man face Kingpin in another movie. There are tentative plans for Holland to return in another trilogy of Spidey movies, so with both Holland and D’Onofrio interested in a Kingpin match-up, perhaps it just might come to be. You can catch the return of Vincent D’Onofrio a Kingpin in Hawkeye, now streaming in full on Disney+.
