As see in the terminate ofMarvel ’s Echo , Wilson Fisk ( Vincent D’onofrio ) is appear to thrive his power and influence over New York to new heights . As such , the betting odds are very gamy that theMCU ’s Kingpinwill before long become the city manager of New York just as he was in the original comics , something that could have a major encroachment on the city ’s Hero , particularly Daredevil , Spider - Man , and potentially even more Cuban sandwich beyond that .
Having been abortive in his efforts to bring Maya Lopez back into his surgical procedure as his foster girl , Echo’spost - credits scenesees Kingpin watching the news and the news commentary about New York needing a " stripped - knuckle joint brawler " nominee who ’s not part of the establishment and is unforced to struggle .

Why Kingpin Becoming NYC’s Mayor Is A Problem For All Street-Level Heroes
He May Try To Outlaw Vigilantism In New York
During the comics’Secret Empireevent , an in - crisis New York was something Wilson Fisk took great advantage of , using his imagination throughout the metropolis to provide bread and butter and tending . Kingpin then used all that good will to run as an independent in the following election . Thanks to his charm and influence ( and some underhanded fixing of the vote),Kingpin won on a weapons platform promising to campaign back against vigilantism in New York , affecting Hero of Alexandria such as his chief rivals Daredevil and Spider - Man , as well as any other hero run within the city limits .
Although Daredevil managed to delay Fisk ’s desire to outlaw vigilantism for a meter , 2021’sDevil ’s Reigncrossover event eventually saw Fisk move fore with his plans , even going so far as to hire a new squad of Thunderbolts lead by John Walker ’s USAgent to round up any heroes defying his unexampled law . As such , any on - screen adjustment of Fisk run for mayor in the MCU would belike result in some major problems .

How Daredevil: Born Again Is Adapting Marvel’s Mayor Fisk Storyline
A Devil’s Reign Adaptation Is Quite Possible
observe the comics in mind , the MCU will likely take some exciting inspiration from Kingpin ’s mayoral footrace on the page . However , it probably would n’t be an exact adaptation . Although Fisk shit an visual aspect or cameo is n’t out of the motion , Marvel ’s upcomingThunderboltsmoviewill likely do its own affair on a bigger scale deliberate the CIA connections with Director Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine . It ’s improbable they ’d be under Fisk ’s control , and the roster are quite different aside from the partake in comprehension of USAgent and Taskmaster .
Furthermore , the driving force behind Kingpin ’s new law came from a desire to punish Daredevil once Fisk realize his computer memory had been tampered with , having been made to forget Daredevil ’s orphic identity . This could possibly be adapted as well consideringKingpin hump about Matt Murdock ’s alter ego inDaredevilseason 3combined with the theory that Maya inadvertently made him blank out when she seek healing his past nuisance and injury at the end ofMarvel ’s Echo . At any pace , Fisk ’s mayoral campaign palpate like an inevitable narrative forDaredevil : put up Again , though a triumph would in all likelihood extend this menace to other MCU projects beyond .
