I doubt it.
Spoiler:
There's a reason they panned away from them as the shot went off. IIRC, Echo shoots Kingpin at one point in the comics as well, so it may have been a callback to that. Either way, I doubt they'd bring back a fan favourite like Fisk just to kill him off immediately.What I find interesting is that Vincent D'Onofrio has said that it's the same Kingpin from the Netflix series, but that he got a power creep (he's probably the physically strongest non-super in the MCU right now). And some people have also pointed out that his cufflinks on Hawkeye are the same ones he always wore on Daredevil. Which, by extension, suggests that the Matt Murdock we see in NWH is also the Netflix version.
This series was enjoyable from start to finish. Pretty impressed.
With the
Spoiler:, I'm now hopeful that we might see Bernthal Punisher appear in the MCU-proper. He played that character exceptionally well, imo... Would love to see him again.
Fisk appearance in this series, and the Murdock appearance in NWH

A bunch of time has passed in-universe since then.
Spoiler:
Daredevil S3 was like 2018 whereas the current MCU timeline is in like 2024 or something. Fisk could have pulled some strings during that time, especially if he didn't get Blipped and was able to take advantage of all the chaos during those five years.
Hawkeye is okay at the start and gets better at the end.
Spoiler:
Wow! Kingpin is a crazy beast. Got rammed head-on by a car and impacted by exploding arrows, and he's still alive and standing a few minutes later. Afterwards, getting shot in the face close range and also presumed alive as it happened in comics. Frankly, I felt kinda bad for him. So much pain he had to endure lol.

Yeah,
Spoiler:
after getting shot with an arrow, rammed by a car and blown up, he probably was just thinking, "Screw it. I'm done for the night." And then Echo shoots him and, if the comics are anything to go by, probably blinds him. He even mentions family not always seeing "eye to eye" right before the camera pans away and we hear the gunshot.
