According to new information, Vincent D’Onofrio’s return as Kingpin would have been very different due to a deleted post-credits scene from Hawkeye.
Marvel Studios’ Christmas proposal has ended with a post-credits scene that has not been to the liking of all fans. However, the end of Hawkeye could have been very different and lead to greater repercussions for the MCU if a post-credits scene with Kingpin had not been eliminated.
As you may recall, the last we learn of the Kingpin in the final chapter of Hawkeye is that Maya has managed to stop his escape and has shot him, seemingly killing him. However, The Cosmic Circus site and other insiders report that the original plan with the character was very different.
According to his reports, the original plan included a cameo with Matt Murdock and the transformation of Eleanor Bishop, Kate’s mother, into Madame Masque. But the best was at the end of Hawkeye, when in a post-credits scene we would see the Kingpin receive Ronin’s sword with a warning from Clint to stay away from his family and Kate.
Apparently, the change in plans was due to the coincidence of dates of the premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home with the end of the series. As you saw it, in the arachnid movie we see a brief cameo by Matt Murdock, and Disney executives would have liked to take advantage of the great expectation that the film generated to give more weight in Hakweye to another of the characters in which the resounding success rested of Daredevil.
