Kingpin in next Spidey Film?

Rumors abound that Daredevil's Kingpin, played byVincent D’Onofrio, may be considered for a role at the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming film.

 

It actually makes a lot of sense. For one, Kingpin's Criminal Empire extends beyond New York City, reaching even Queens. It's for this reason the Kingpin is a recurring villain through much of Spider-Man's comic book history. Many of what made Kingpin so well-known is his dealings with Spider-Man as opposed to his true nemesis, Daredevil.

Agents of SHIELD Not Canon

In an interview with Bleeding Cool, Chloe Bennet (real name Chloe Wang), who plays Daisy Johnson aka Skye on Agents of SHIELD, gives her insight as to the division between Marvel Films and Marvel TV, and the lack of connection between the two.



I'm not really that surprised, honestly. But it's easier to simply declare SHIELD and the Defenders as being set in an alternate universe, and if a connection is to be made, it's through Infinity War.
