What To Expect From Jon Bernthal’s Punisher In Daredevil: Born Again
Frank Castle Could Be Back For Revenge
Official updates on Daredevil: Born Again‘s story have been few and far between. Due to that, not much is known about what kind of role Bernthal’s Punisher will play in the MCU series. However, thanks to a major rumor and a few set photos and videos, it is possible to come up with a path Frank Castle could thread in the series. And if it is right, the character will have a bloody future.
After a major creative overhaul, Daredevil: Born Again has brought back important characters from the original Netflix series, which include Matt Murdock’s best friends Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, as well as Daredevil season 3 villain Bullseye. Daredevil: Born Again set reveals support the theory that Foggy and Karen — or one of them — will die. A scene has been filmed with Bullseye firing a gun in the direction the duo was standing in before Daredevil tackles him.
Due to their close relationship, if anything were to happen to Karen, Frank Castle would most definitely be out for blood. So, if Karen does end up dying in Daredevil: Born Again, the MCU series could see the Punisher go after Bullseye for revenge. Another set video appeared to show the Punisher killing a new MCU hero in cold blood. However, a story about cops misusing the Punisher’s logo is rumored for the series, which could mean it was not Castle doing the killing but someone posing as him, which would make the Punisher very angry in Daredevil: Born Again.
Daredevil: Born Again
After Charlie Cox’s cameo appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home and supporting role in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Daredevil: Born Again gives Matt Murdock his first show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Daredevil: Born Again, composed of 18 episodes, serves as the spiritual successor to Netflix’s three-season Daredevil series and adapts its characters to the MCU’s main continuity while establishing a new beginning for the superhero lawyer.
