Bringing back Wilson Fisk as a major villain in Spider-Man 4 and having the original Daredevil creator, Drew Goddard, at the helm is a recipe for an epic street-level showdown. The inclusion of Daredevil and Kingpin in Spider-Man 4 could potentially rejuvenate the franchise as it’s not having its best days. Furthermore, fans would totally love the plot of Spider-Man fighting his way through the underworld.
A lot is buzzing around about Spider-Man 4, and it’s exciting for fans. While it’s not officially confirmed yet, things are definitely in the early stages of its production. Although the 2023 writer’s strike caused some delays, things seem to be back on track now. Fans and many others have guessed and put forward many stories and plotlines, but only time will tell about the untitled Spider-Man movie.
Spider-Man 4: Rumors Swirl of Street-Level Showdown with Daredevil and Kingpin
Spider-Man 4 has whispers of a dream collaboration with Wilson Fisk, the menacing Kingpin, rising as the major villain in Tom Holland‘s fourth MCU outing, with none other than Daredevil himself joining forces with the web-slinger. The icing on the cake is Daredevil creator Drew Goddard directing the film. With Goddard’s skill at the controls, there will be amazing street-level fighting scenes in the film.
This potential project isn’t just wishful thinking, it makes perfect sense. Kingpin’s return in Hawkeye demonstrated his menacing presence and readiness to expand his criminal network throughout the MCU. Spider-Man’s idealistic youthfulness would be perfectly balanced by Daredevil’s hardened abilities as an expert in hand-to-hand fighting and an underground navigator, forming a dynamic duo never seen before.

With Goddard involved, the prospect is enhanced much further. His close familiarity with Daredevil ensures authenticity and offers the MCU’s everyday heroes a new angle. His ability to create intense, incredibly realistic action scenes that depict the violent dance between villains and heroes in the shadows of the city is just amazing. Beyond the joy of the moment, this movie has the potential to be a game-changer for the MCU.
So not only is Netflix's Daredevil officially MCU canon but Marvel are hiring its creator to direct Spider-Man 4 with Daredevil & Kingpin. IMAGINE the street level fight scenes now that the original Daredevil creator is involved

Doing this would be great: Spidey discovers the underworld of crime that commonly gets ignored by Avengers level characters. Confident in himself since he used to work with Stark, he goes for it & Kingpin wrecks the Spider-Man. Then Daredevil comes in and begins mentoring Peter.

In addition to featuring spectacular action, Spider-Man 4 alongside Daredevil and Kingpin might also explore a personal narrative for Peter Parker. Parker may have to face his own weaknesses and the burden of his responsibilities as Spider-Man if one of his close ones is threatened by Fisk’s schemes. Everyone will be hankering after more when a gritty, dark movie with amazing action, moral puzzles, and an expanded MCU.
Blind Justice, Bloody Ballets: The Enduring Power of Drew Goddard’s Daredevil
Fans found great resonance in Drew Goddard‘s Daredevil, which was more than just a superhero series—rather, it was a masterwork of grim, dark narrative. Imagine Hell’s Kitchen, not as a neon wonderland, but as a concrete jungle teeming with corruption and despair. That’s the backdrop for Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer by day and vigilante by night. Moreover, the show isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty delving into the harsh moral complexities.
But violence isn’t the only thing in Daredevil. It’s about struggling to live a meaningful existence in a dangerously unstable environment, as well as the fight for justice and atonement. The characters are complex, the script is razor-sharp, and the performances—especially Charlie Cox‘s dark portrayal of Matt Murdock—are superb. The action sequences are another highlight of the show.
They’re visceral, balletic, and utterly unique, utilizing Murdock’s heightened senses and blindness to create something truly special. Every kick and punch feels powerful, which is a credit to the show’s exquisite choreography. It makes sense why people adore it—Daredevil redefined what a superhero program might be by shattering the mold. It was bold enough to be genuine, and gloomy, and to pose difficult queries of justice and morality.
And in doing so, it created a work of art that, even years after its release, continues to resonate. Thus, even if Spider-Man 4 promises thrilling new MCU adventures, it’s important to remember the influence of series like Daredevil. They challenged convention, daring to be unique, and in the end, produced something quite remarkable. Although Daredevil: Born Again will not reach Disney+ until 2025, fans are still very excited about it.
