Vincent D'Onofrio Pushes for Spider-Man vs Kingpin Showdown

0:00On March 25th, Vincent Donifrio is pushing hard for live-action showdown between Spider-Man and his Kingpin character. The actor says he would love to see it happen, but it all depends on Sony and Marvel Studios working out their complicated rights issues. Marvel owns Kingpin in its universe, while Sony holds the film rights to Spider-Man. Fans have dreamed of this comic book rivalry hitting the big screen for years, but tricky deals have kept it from happening so far. Spider-Man has appeared in some Marvel films through special agreements, yet a full Kingpin versus web-slinger battle remains out of reach. The idea has fans excited right away, with many buzzing online about the potential match-up. The characters have clashed before, but only in animated films like Spider-Man, into the Spider-Verse. Donifrio's Kingpin is a standout in the Daredevil, born-again series, where he rises to become New York City's mayor. Meanwhile, the next Spider-Man movie, titled Brand New Day, is generating huge hype, with his trailer racking up over 1 billion views already.
