The world listens as Vincent D’Onofrio’s unforgettable Wilson Fisk from “Hawkeye” reveals the mysteries of the MCU. Recently, in an interview with Jake Tax, D’Onofrio revealed his opinion on which superheroes could take on the Kingpin, a topic that has created a lot of speculation among fans.
Speaking about his character’s future in the MCU, Dionofrio emphasized the villain’s immortality in the comic canon: “The Kingpin never died, so I don’t see that happening right now.” His portrayal of the character has remained a key element in the cinematic universe, especially since his appearance in “Hawkeye.”
According to Dionofrio, competent heroes
For Dionofrio, there are two heroes in particular who come close to defeating him: Daredevil and Spider-Man. But even they, he suggests, have only one chance to work together. This focus on collaboration emphasizes the character’s strength and charisma, reinforcing his status as a formidable villain.
Considering future MCU projects like “Daredevil: Born Again” and “Spider-Man 4,” the discussion gets even more interesting. Here, D’Onofrio hints that he may also have a central role as New York’s mayor. This character evolution promises to add new dimensions to the MCU’s already rich narrative.

The heroes that Kingpin defeated in the comics
In the wider universe of Marvel Comics, Wilson Fisk, better known as the Kingpin, has faced and defeated a sometimes impressive list of heroes. His commanding presence and strategic abilities make him a formidable opponent for many iconic characters.
One of his most memorable fights is with Daredevil, his main enemy. Fisk uses not only his physical strength but his cunning to destroy the life of Matt Murdoch, Daredevil’s alter ego, and defeats the hero on several occasions. In Frank Miller’s famous story “Rebirth,” Fisk discovers the hero’s secret identity and proceeds to take his life, a testament to his ability to hit his enemies where it hurts the most.
Another hero who feels the Kingpin’s wrath is Spider-Man. Although their relationship usually ended with the Wall-finder triumphing, there were times when the Kingpin was able to get the best of Spider-Man, especially by using his influence to complicate Peter Parker’s life outside of his addiction.
Additionally, he had feuds with heroes like The Punisher and Captain America. While he doesn’t always emerge victorious, his ability to take on multiple heroes at once cements him as one of the most feared and respected villains in the Marvel Universe.
