The recent trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day featured a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo from Zabryna Guevara, who plays Fisk's political advisor Sheila Rivera in Daredevil: Born Again. This led some fans to speculate that the trailer may have spoiled a major plot point for the second season of the series, potentially indicating that Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin will no longer be the mayor of New York. However, D'Onofrio himself has insisted that the trailer doesn't confirm or debunk anything about the future of Daredevil: Born Again.

Why it matters

The potential spoiler from the Spider-Man trailer has sparked discussion among fans about the future of the Daredevil character and his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As one of Marvel's most popular street-level heroes, any major changes to Daredevil's status quo in New York City would be significant for the character's ongoing story.

The details

In the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer, Zabryna Guevara's character Sheila Rivera is seen handing the key to the city to Spider-Man, rather than Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin who is currently the mayor of New York in Daredevil: Born Again. This led some fans to speculate that Kingpin may be removed from office or otherwise incapacitated by the time the second season of Daredevil: Born Again premieres. However, D'Onofrio has stated that he has no information about the future of the show and that the trailer doesn't confirm or debunk anything about his character's status.

I'm the last person to know anything about the future of our show or any other show for that matter. I only know about the job at hand. That is the absolute truth.”
