A new Spider-Man 4 report claims the film will pit Tom Holland’s webslinger against Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin.
Spider-Man 4 rumored to have Kingpin as villain
Ol’ Pete will have more to contend with than just making friends and finding work, though. According to a recent report by scooper Daniel Richtman (via X/Twitter), he’ll go head-to-head with none other than Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in Spider-Man 4.

However, Kingpin’s supposed inclusion in Spider-Man 4 does line up with various rumblings surrounding the production. Notably, D’Onofrio himselfhas openly expressed interestin seeing a showdown between his character and Holland’s, insisting it will “eventually” happen.
The online rumor mill also continues to link Kingpin to Spider-Man 4, potentially as one of several antagonists Spidey must defeat. There’s considerable buzz around the possibility ofCharlie Cox showing upto even the odds as Kingpin’s nemesis, Daredevil, too.
Recent MCU miniseries Echo seemingly supports a future Spider-Man/Kingpin confrontation, as well. That show’s finale hints that Fisk will run for Mayor of New York City in follow-up show Daredevil: Born Again.
Should this mayoral campaign prove successful, there would be obvious implications for all NYC-based heroes, including Spidey. Mayor Fisk could evenemulate his comic book counterpartand outlaw costumed vigilantes in the Big Apple – a surefire way to earn him the wall-crawler’s attention!
