Hawkeye Ending: Is Kingpin Dead? Here What We Know About Series Final

Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) has not died in the finale of Hawkeye Episode 6 of the Marvel series. They want you to believe that he has died, but he has not died, in case you were wondering. It will be alive for a long time. And it will be for several reasons. Apart from the fact that in any cinematographic fiction, if there is no corpse there is no death, the first reason is that you do not incorporate into the universe of Marvel series and movies one of the great villains of the comics of the House of Ideas and they you present to the general public (it is a reality that the Daredevil series on Netflix not all new fans of Marvel movies (and now series) have seen him to kill him after only 30 minutes on screen. A great villain like Kingpin is not wasted just like that, although the Hawkeye series is not going to have season 2.

Hawkeye Ending: Is Kingpin Dead?

That, he said, in the first place. Second, the scene between Kingpin and Maya López (Alaqua Cox) reproduces with astonishing precision (Hawaiian shirt on the sidelines) one of the most iconic panels of Marvel comics in which, mind you, the Maya López of the comics shot the Kingpin of the comics at point-blank range in the head and he survived (the corpse was not seen either, only the onomatopoeia of the shot). Kingpin went blind but survived. And thirdly, you don’t kill Kingpin, Daredevil’s great villain, seven days after officially introducing Daredevil in the MCU in Spider-Man: No way home. Daredevil himself, I mean, who shared the screen with D’Onofrio in the Marvel series on Netflix: Charlie Cox. For now, Marvel Studios and Disney have recovered Matt Murdock and the Kingpin from the Daredevil series with the same actors. And he has done it to build a new universe within the MCU, a micro-universe in which Daredevil, Kingpin, Echo and She-Hulk coexist, which is the same one in which Spider-Man usually lives.

Marvel has not introduced the Kingpin to make him a Thanos. Nor is it a Doctor Doom, who will arrive, be patient that he will arrive. He is a great villain in a very specific universe. Kingpin, to put it in an easy way to understand, is an urban criminal, a kind of super-gangster who has no powers (he is strong, but no, he does not have super strength), but who is capable of becoming one of the main problems of Spider-Man and Daredevil with their criminal organization. And for a headache that Kingpin is the guy who hires the murderer who kills Aunt May in the comics (which is later resurrected, rest assured). Marvel in its phase four, in addition to heading towards another great event in the style of Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame, which is not the series Secret Invasion, which Kevin Feige, president and CCO of Marvel, has promised will not be as ambitious as it was in the comics, but rather that it will be the MCU version of the two Secret Wars comic series is opening many more possibilities.

It is opening the melon of ‘urban’ superheroes who fight criminals who do not have to fall into the category of supervillains or who fall into the category of lesser supervillains who are not exactly global threats, but local threats. There we will have Echo and there we will have She-Hulk. The most reliable leaks so far on Marvel projects point to Matt Murdock and Daredevil going straight to these two series, together, you guessed it, Kingpin.
