Daredevil

In this movie that takes place in the same universe as the Spectacular Spider-Man saga and the Ultimate Spider-Man saga about 2 years after Ultimate Spider-Man 9 we see Daredevil and Black Cat having to work with Wilson Fisk to take down Tombstone who has taken over the criminal underworld while Fisk was in prison. Throughout the movie Matt Murdock aka Daredevil goes deep undercover to take down Tombstone from the inside. Eventually Matt is instructed to kill his old master Stick and when Matt says no Tombstone tries to kill him but luckily Matt's ally and sometimes love interest Elektra and Black Cat show up to help. The movie ends with a fight between Matt and Tombstone on top of Tombstone's building where Matt nearly loses but pushes Tombstone off the building who lands in a web made by a certain someone. Matt goes back to his apartment where he thinks about things and how after Peter Parker's death crime has gotten a lot worse so in the post credits scene, we see him talking about Peter Parker and maybe starting a team to a man in a yellow bandana who Matt calls Danny.
