Vincent D'Onofrio unsure if his Kingpin will ever meet Spider-Man due to being ‘caught in between’ Sony and Marvel rights

Vincent D'Onofrio doesn't know if his Kingpin will ever cross paths with Spider-Man, as the character's rights are 'caught in between' Sony and Marvel Studios.

During a panel at Fan Expo Boston on Saturday, the Daredevil actor speculated about the potential of his villain, Wilson Fisk, meeting Tom Holland ’s Spider-Man in a future movie or TV show.

When Marvel’s television strategy shifted upon the launch of Disney+, the fate of Netflix-based characters like Daredevil and Kingpin became uncertain, as there were no immediate plans to continue Netflix series on the new streaming platform.
