Kingpin vs. Spider-Man: D'Onofrio Calls for Crossover
25 Mar
Summary
- Vincent D'Onofrio desires Kingpin to fight Spider-Man on screen.
- Rights issues between Sony and Marvel complicate the crossover.
- Kingpin was recently seen in 'Daredevil: Born Again' on Disney+.
Vincent D'Onofrio, the actor behind the formidable Kingpin, has expressed his strong desire for a cinematic confrontation between his character and Spider-Man. He publicly urged Marvel and Sony to overcome their rights entanglements to make this long-awaited showdown a reality. The complex ownership of film rights between Sony (for Spider-Man) and Marvel/Disney (for Kingpin) presents a significant obstacle.
While D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk recently appeared in the new season of 'Daredevil: Born Again' on Disney+, where he holds the position of New York City mayor, the potential for a live-action battle with Spider-Man remains uncertain. The animated film 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' previously featured a Kingpin, voiced by Liev Schreiber, confronting Miles Morales. The next Spider-Man film, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' is slated for July 31, 2026, with its trailer already achieving record-breaking viewership.
