Hawkeye: Kingpin Alive? 8 Details You Missed In The Finale
3. Eleanor Bishop's Debt
Daredevil's canonicity with the MCU is established slightly but mainly draws focus on Hell’s Kitchen. With mentions of the Avengers from Westley as well as Ben Urich’s ‘Battle of New York’ article hung on the wall, it’s clear that the show was set post-Avengers (2012). Bringing old characters into new projects will spark questions revolving around their whereabouts during world-changing events (most notably Endgame’s Blip).
As Kate finally confronts her mother about her corrupted line of business, Eleanor Bishop reveals that she has been in debt to Fisk ever since Kate's father died during the Chitauri attack on New York in 2012.
Many sources from Marvel such as the Hawkeye writers and Kevin Feige himself have said that the return of the Netflix characters into the MCU will include a soft reboot. Fisk's timeline places him still after the events of Daredevil (whether or not they are canon or not is still unconfirmed) whilst remaining at a place of power to run New York's crime syndicates.
