About

Kingpin Clicking a Pen refers to a clip of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse character Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk clicking a red pen as he thinks about tragically losing his wife and child, eventually pressing too hard and breaking it. Starting in 2023, the clip has been used as a video and GIF caption meme format online, typically used for memes about waiting for a future event.

Origin

On December 14th, 2018, the animated superhero film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse premiered.[1] In one scene of the film, the character Wilson "Kingpin" Fink is standing on a terrace, looking into the distance as he's clicking a pen with his hand. During the scene, Kingpin is thinking about past events that led to him losing his wife and child. Eventually, the character presses too hard and smashes the pen with his hand (scene shown below).
