![]() ![]() Over the past few years, LEGO has really been showing Marvel some love. That would make him a particularly potent enemy for Spider-Man, given the close relationship between Peter Parker and Tony Stark in the MCU, and it would mean Kingpin's story could ripple on throughout the MCU - with Hawkeye simply serving as setup.LEGO's largest Marvel-themed set is set to hit shelves later this year, and it's a big one. What's more, depending on the outcome of Hawkeye, Wilson Fisk could even be left in possession of Stark technology - a fitting twist, establishing him as a corrupting force who had even tarnished the legacy of the Avengers' greatest hero. Ownership of Avengers Tower would immediately position the Kingpin as a symbolic force to be reckoned with, establishing the sense a dark shadow had been cast over the MCU's New York in the wake of Avengers: Endgame. Assuming reports of Kingpin's presence in Hawkeye are true, then he could be positioned as a recurring threat for everyone from Spider-Man to Blade. Kingpin may not be a Thanos-level threat, but in truth, he's one of Marvel's most important villains, particularly notable as an enemy of the various street-level superheroes in fact, a leaked contract revealed the film rights for Kingpin were at one time shared between Marvel, Sony, and Fox, giving a sense of his significance. Thus the wristwatch could be of particular interest to the tower's new owner, potentially the Kingpin himself. That watch could be the key to unlocking yet more Stark secrets. Those secrets could even conceivably lie in the old Avengers Tower, something ultra-high-tech that he was unable to remove but figured was locked down because he was the only one to possess the key - the watch. ![]() But a wristwatch that used to belong to Tony Stark may not be an ordinary one after all, as seen in Spider-Man: Far From Home, Stark was the kind of man to install a sophisticated drone control system in a pair of glasses. Little is known about the watch at this point, but it's likely only one of the Avengers would possess a wristwatch that's worth anything - Tony Stark (it would also be quite appropriate because in the real world Robert Downey, Jr. One of these items was a mysterious watch stolen from the Avengers. Hawkeye episode 1 introduced a black market auction where items from the Avengers Compound were up for sale.

The apparent return of Ronin would be a matter of considerable interest to Wilson Fisk, and he'd be particularly interested in finding out the vigilante's true identity and having them killed in an act of revenge. It's quite possible Kingpin was only in the early days of establishing his criminal empire during the Blip, and Ronin would have been a serious thorn in his side. It's already clear Hawkeye will deal with the various street-level criminals of the MCU given Echo has been set up as a power player, she could well be reporting in to her adopted father, the Kingpin, acting as the face of his operation. That raises the possibility Hawkeye is about to reveal just who is really the new owner of Avengers Tower - and it could be Vincent d'Onofrio's Kingpin. The episodes then avoided giving any glimpse of the tower in the present day, which seemed rather pointed.

There's been intense speculation over the identity of whoever bought the Avengers Tower are they the Fantastic Four, making this the new Baxter Building? Or was it Norman Osborn, setting up a potential Dark Reign era? An Easter egg in Loki suggested in at least one timeline it was bought by Kang the Conqueror, of all people, but that's not necessarily true in the main timeline. Spider-Man: Far From Home added to the mystery, further revealing Avengers Tower was undergoing significant redevelopment, but still avoiding disclosing the identity of the buyer. The Spider-Man film explained that Tony Stark had sold Avengers Tower, but the actual buyer was never revealed. ![]()
