10 Essential Spider-Man Villains Not Yet Used In The Movies

8. Kingpin

Kraven The Hunter
Marvel Comics

Most closely associated with fellow New York vigilante Daredevil, the Kingpin of crime is unfortunately a little tied up with Netflix at the moment (wonderfully portrayed by a show-stealing Vincent D'Onofrio). This and his appearance in Ben Affleck's Daredevil movie (also wonderfully portrayed by the late Michael Clarke Duncan) make it easy to forget that he's also a very compelling enemy of Spider-Man too.

While Wilson Fisk's Netflix commitments might leave him off the table for the moment, one can't deny that Marvel's TV venture hasn't been as integrated to the MCU as was first mooted. If this continues to worsen, we could see the universes separate and characters like the Kingpin make their way onto the big screen.

In any case, he certainly deserves to be there, being one of the few non-powered or genetically modified humans capable of tussling with the Spider and... maybe even winning?
