What do you think the future holds for Kingpin after season 2?
This is what worries me most after season 2. I feel like Marvel could get into a very problematic predicament with the character, due to the poor treatment he received before Born Again.
>!At this point, it's no secret that Fisk loses the mayoral race at the end of season two.!< What happens next is a mystery so far; the most unrealistic thing is that he might die.
1. Kingpin is Daredevil's archenemy, as well as one of the few crime bosses Marvel has at its disposal.
2. That option was already used on Hawkeye with his fake death.
But the other options don't seem so good either. On the one hand, I wouldn't like them to keep portraying Fisk as the mastermind who wants to rise to power because at this point, it would be tiresome.
Not only was he the main antagonist in these two seasons, but if we include the Netflix run, Kingpin has essentially been the main villain throughout all the seasons except the second, where the Hand was the main antagonist (and that was only because Fisk had some relevance). So, continuing with the same approach would be like wasting gum that's already worn out.
Another option would be to simply leave him as a crime boss and be done with it, or to pass the mantle to another character, but the problem is that this has already been done and it didn't turn out well. Hawkeye and Echo were the territory Marvel wanted to explore with a Kingpin no longer so tied to Daredevil and just a very ruthless gangster boss, and the result ranged from meh to disastrous.
We can partly blame this on the quality of those projects, but Marvel is also tied down because this Fisk's story was forged with Matt Murdock, which is why it's so strange that Matt isn't involved when he's present. And secondly, it can't be used in film because of Sony's restrictions. So it has to be limited to TV series.
I don't know, I see the character's future as very blurry after this season. The most direct and easy option would be to kill him off, but seeing as they didn't even leave poor Steve Rogers alone after Endgame, that's never going to happen.
