Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has indicated that Wilson Fisk/Kingpin could eventually appear in a Spider-Man film, although he stressed that obstacles remain. The prospect matters because Kingpin is a major antagonist in Spider-Man stories and has already become an established character in Marvel’s Disney+ television series.

Feige did not confirm that such an appearance is planned, saying there are “things to navigate”, which suggests rights, creative or scheduling issues may need resolving. Vincent D’Onofrio has played Kingpin in Daredevil, Hawkeye and Echo, while Tom Holland’s Spider-Man films are produced with Sony Pictures.
