After Tony Stark's death in the final Marvel Phase 3 movie, Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man Peter Parker was left without guidance - while holding the key of Stark Industries' secret technologies. He was then used by Quentin Beck / Mysterio in order to take over the EDITH, Tony Stark's global network of technology for his evil plan.
However, Spider-Man managed to realize their hostile intentions in time and manage to stop the villain in his tracks. Mysterio, in his last breath, activates the final part of his plan: A secret modified tape containing footage of the London battle was sent to the Daily Bugle and revealed to the world. The video directly incriminates Spider-Man for the Elemental attacks and reveals his secret identity.
It is expected that in the next Spider-Man movie, Peter Parker would have to become a runaway fugitive, going against the law and Jonah Jameson's smearing to prove himself not guilty. Luckily, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are two Superhero Lawyers that can deal with this case: Daredevil / Matt Murdock and She-Hulk / Jennifer Walters. Both have crossed paths with Spidey before in the comics - and it is very likely that one of them would be a part of the next Spider-Man movie.
1 - Would Daredevil be the prosecutor when Peter Parker sue Jonah Jameson?
Amongst all the shows released by Marvel to date, Daredevil is probably amongst the most popular. Its 2 seasons in 2015 and 2018 have been super successful amongst fans, surpass other marvel shows like Agent of Shield or Jessica Jones. However, after his successful debut, Marvel is still rather twitchy about introducing Charlie Cox's character into the main universe, due to the hyper-violence nature of the show.
Matt Murdock is probably the one character who can sympathize with Spider-Man's flight the most, as he is also torn between his desire to become Daredevil full time and his career as a lawyer. If Daredevil is going to be a part of Spider-Man, a season 3 for the show would pretty much be in the bag.
2 - She-Hulk is another possibility as well
She-Hulk is Bruce Banner's cousin, Jennifer Walters. After getting mortally injured, Bruce Banner saved her by infecting her body with his own gamma radiation cell. She would then become She-Hulk, working as both a superhero and a lawyer. With the She-Hulk show being in the work at Marvel, this is not impossible, as an appearance in a mainline MCU movie would definitely be able to serve as a catalyst for her own TV series to take off.
This is definitely going to be the more attractive option that Marvel might take, as they have been trying to introduce more and more female superheroines into the MCU.
3 - Spider-Man might have to defend himself
While adding more famous characters to create a crossover might sound exciting - it is just not possible in a lot of situations. With Sony, the one who holds the right of Spider-Man participated in the production process, everything must work well based on their standards.
Adaptation for Daredevil and She-Hulk is also not an easy task, as they are relatively less famous characters in the MCU and might need some further setup prior. An experienced director is required if Marvel wants to go into this route.
