Wait, How Is Kingpin Alive In Marvel's Echo Show?
Given that he was defeated at the end of Hawkeye, how is Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio) still alive in the upcoming Disney+ show Echo? The series centers on Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox), detailing the story of the anti-hero who is a part of the deaf community and her exploits in the MCU. Production is now underway on Echo, which is coming to Disney+ in 2023, and with that, it has been confirmed that both Charlie Cox and D'Onofrio are coming back for the show, meaning that their characters Daredevil and Kingpin, respectively, will appear.

Since Daredevil and Kingpin will also be a part of this show, with details still under wraps, this begs the question: What really happened to Kingpin at the end of Hawkeye?
