The actor who played Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin, in Marvel's Spider-Man has expressed interest in reprising the role in Spider-Man 2. Fisk's presence outside of the comics has grown significantly in recent years, with him serving as the main antagonist in the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, appearing in the Hawkeye show on Disney+, and, of course, being included in Insomniac's 2018 open-world action game.

The Kingpin is one of the reasons Marvel's Spider-Man made such a strong first impression on many players. The game's action-packed opening sequence features Peter Parker fighting his way through Fisk Tower and its security before facing off against Fisk himself in an intense cinematic boss fight. Though the sequence ends with the crime boss being imprisoned, Fisk's presence can still be felt throughout the rest of the game and in the spinoff Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and fans are hoping that this will pave the way for him to play a larger role in next year's sequel.
