Hawkeye's Kingpin Actor Reveals How Avengers: Endgame Changed His Villain

Marvel Studios finished up its last Disney+ series of the year with Hawkeye, and with it came the proper re-introduction of Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk.

The character was first seen in Netflix’s Daredevil and hadn't appeared since the show was canceled. Now, fans can rest happy knowing that the Kingpin, and the man behind him, have a proper place in the MCU.

As whispers started arising that the character would be returning, fans immediately got excited. Not many villains in the comic book movie sphere make that kind of impact, but his Kingpin of crime certainly did.

Even his onscreen rival, Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock, had similar rumors, but with his appearance starting in Spider-Man: No Way Home and potentially continuing into projects like She-Hulk and Echo.

While on the surface, it would make perfect sense for him to have dusted away, seeing as it would explain a loss of power that Fisk is eager to take back. However, a plot point in Hawkeye is how Fisk wanted Maya’s father dead, which is what the whole Ronin attack was and occurred during those five years.
