I liked MCD as Kingpin and thought the DC of Daredevil was decent enough, if severely flawed. Anyone thought SM3 had too many plot threads needs to watch this.
But I digress. I think the Spider-Man movies don't need Kingpin yet. SM4 can easily hold up on its own without him with Lizard and possibly Kraven in it and delving deeper into the love story. Ideas might start running thin around SM5, and at that time he could be introduced. But I just don't think he is majorly needed, yet.
I think a SM movie about Kingpin vs. the mysterious Rose with henchmen in between (such as Scorpion or Hobgoblin) switching sides could be interesting. But Spidey movies are about Peter's inner struggles and villains that reflect that. While close to the comics it is kind of departing into an episodic form of narrative while the first 3 and most likely 4 feel very much connected as a larger single narrative told in chapters.
But a recurring Kingpin villain would be interesting. If Daredevil sequels aren't coming (and at this point I'd say they aren't) than maybe. But I doubt they'll pay money to put him in there. Why not just use Rose would be Sony's argument as outside of kids who are now in their '20s who watched the TAS, what general audience knows Kingpin, anyway? Venom, Doc Ock, Lizard and the general image of Goblin (Green or Hob not being specific) are the only ones general audiences recognize, anyway. And that is what Sony cares about.

MCD for one thing is not that big anymore and he said that he isn't gonna be ever again.Another thing is he isn't a good actor and the spidey villains of these movies have had good actors play the parts.And because the DD movie went with MCD which was a huge mistake,why should the spidey movies have to use MCD as well?
And the Kingpin character shouldn't be in SM4,but he should be in SM5.The opening of the SM5 movie could be Peter in a waiting room of a psychiatrist's office.There could be a t.v. bolted in a wall that is talking about how crime is going up with the mysterious crimelord known as the Kingpin and how nobody can stop him,because nobody knows who he is.
Then Peter's spidey sense goes off as the door to the waiting room explodes by a blast and the Shocker and some guy named Jason Philip Macendale comes walking in.
There looking for the psychiatrist,the Kingpin has sent them to kill him because the Kingpin has found out that his wife has been seeing a psychiatrist and the Kingpin fears that she might of told him that he is the Kingpin.
When the Shocker and Jason Philip Macendale make their way to the psychiatrist's office they demand the doctor to hand over the file of a Vanessa Fisk.
As the doctor is trying to find the file he starts telling them that he will give them money that he has in his secret safe inside his office behind a painting on a wall if they let him live.
After they get the file,Jason Philip Macendale agrees to the deal and asks for the combination.After the doctor tells him it,Jason Philip Macendale tells the Shocker to blast him.
But before he can spidey comes through the door and crashes into the Shocker.The two fight in the office until the Shocker jumps through a window and starts running down the fire escape.
Spidey thinks that Jason Philip Macendale is a patient who was in the psychiatrist's office before the Shocker showed up.Peter never saw who came through the waiting room when the blast blew the door open.
So spidey tells the doctor and the patient to stay here and call the police as spidey goes out the window to confront the Shocker.
Jason Philip Macendale pulls a gun out and tells the doctor to stay put,then Jason Philip Macendale goes over to the wall safe to get the money,but Jason Philip Macendale also finds a patient file also inside.The file belongs to a Harry Osborn.
Jason Philip Macendale is curious to why this is the only file inside the safe when all these other folders are on a nearby shelf out in the open.So Jason Philip Macendale opens the folder and smiles when he sees what's in it.
Harry has told his doctor that is father was the GG and where the Goblin's lair is.Jason Philip Macendale thinks he no longer has to be a Kingpin thug.
Jason Philip Macendale starts leaving the office,but before he does he kills the doctor so the doctor won't tell anyone what he has found.
Outside spidey and the Shocker continue their fight until spidey defeats him.When spidey hears a gunshot from the window of the doctor's office spidey goes back there to check it out.
When spidey finds the doctor dead and the guy he thought was his patient gone,spidey realizes that the guy and the Shocker were partners.
When the Hobgoblin shows up later in the movie he is the one who flushes out the Kingpin as the two of them have a mob war.
