How Marvel Should Do A MCU Movies & Netflix Crossover
3. A Coming Of Age Spider-Man Film, With Wilson Fisk
Today, the character of Wilson Fisk may be more synonymous with Daredevil, but he originally started out life as a Spider-Man villain. He would remain that way for a good few years, until shifting his focus to the Man Without Fear and, well, making it his number one priority in life to mess with his life.
Interspersed throughout Fisk's long-running feud with Daredevil were a series of clashes with the wall-crawler, and Marvel could replicate the same approach on the big screen. The most obvious thing preventing that from happening? Well, tonally, the characters of Spider-Man and Wilson Fisk couldn't be further apart in the MCU; Vincent D'Onofrio's character is a monstrous mobster, so picturing him squaring off against a still young Peter Parker is - at first - a difficult prospect to contemplate.
Although that may be the case, it's important to remember the thematic foundations of this new Spider-Man trilogy, which Spidey actor Tom Holland believes will end with Peter's graduation. He's already dealt with his fair share of challenges, but eventually Pete must come of age, and introducing him to another side of New York he didn't know about - potentially with Matt Murdock as his mentor, or even without - would encapsulate the theme wonderfully.
Spidey shouldn't have to be dour, but seeing the character adjust from his High School roots to rise against a more human threat could be devastating, exhilarating, and provide the perfect springboard to kickstart a whole new era of Peter Parker's life.
