DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN - New Details On The Punisher's Role And Possible Plans For A Spin-Off Series

There's a huge amount of excitement surrounding Jon Bernthal's upcoming return as Frank Castle in Daredevil: Born Again, and along with news on that series, we have possible details on a spin-off as well.

Daredevil: Born Again is currently being shot in New York City and, if a new rumour is to be believed, Jon Bernthal is back on set filming scenes as The Punisher.

After first showing up as the vigilante in Daredevil season 2, the character would go on to appear in two seasons of his spin-off series. The fact Marvel Studios has plans for Frank Castle is news that's been welcomed by fans and trusted insider @CanWeGetToast has shared some very intriguing intel about a run-in between The Punisher and the NYPD...

Yes, it appears Marvel Studios will indeed address the way The Punisher's logo has been co-opted by certain groups, making it clear that Frank doesn't approve. 

The scooper would also go on to suggest that the vigilante will be at the top of The Kingpin's list as he runs for New York City Mayor in an effort to stop superheroes from patrolling the Big Apple's streets. If he's successful, that will have a huge impact on Daredevil, Spider-Man, and many other street-level do-gooders. 

It's also being reported that there are plans in place for The Punisher to get his own series on Disney+. We know Marvel Studios plans to focus on quantity over quality moving forward, but could Frank finally get the live-action treatment he deserves?

Netflix's The Punisher was only okay, and with Kevin Feige calling the shots, Bernthal might just end up getting the platform he deserves to bring this character to life on screen.

What do you guys think about these latest MCU rumours?

It boggles my mind that punisher comics specifically, and now the show, have had to react to cops being scum

Punisher shutting those who use his logo down and bringing up Cap as rolemodel instead is pretty great. Can really her Bernthal's Punisher say that word-for-word.

A Punisher show though? Let's just see how Daredevil and the other shows like Echo do first. There are enough shows to fill the coming three years with already.

@bkmeijer1 - Given the current volume of shows in the pipeline, I don't see a Punisher show happening until 2026 at the soonest, even if stuff like Vision Quest and Nova does end up going the Special Presentation route.

@TUD - This would be a good logo for a new Show.

Criminal America and the influence of The Punisher on American society. I want The Punisher Show to focus on that.

Can we get a proper Jigsaw and not some dude with 3 small scars on his face.

@SirDuckAlot - I kinda like the angle of his mind being the jigsaw. Put a guy in make-up for 13 episodes probably was too much anyway

I honestly don't think it's a good idea for Disney to do a Punisher show. Even if you can make the property the PG-13, the entire point of the character doesn't align with Disney. I'd much rather get NO Punisher than to suffer Disney's compromised mishandling of the character. I got 3 decent seasons of Frank Castle's story of them being great and one being okay. I'm fine with that.

@BobGarlen - But Berthenel has said he's not coming back as a watered down version of the character, and we're getting R-Rated content.

Besides, the Punisher TV series already mishandled him by making him into Logan.

@HOTSHOT - I trust Bernthal to advocate for the most accurate version of the character he can. And it's arguable on how the show's first season treated him, the second season did make some missteps.

But I don't trust the corporate entity that is Disney, I have no reason to trust them with a character like Frank. So yeah maybe Jon isn't going to be a watered-down version of the character, but they're probably not going to put him in a position to be very violent in the show, or they'll overtly rely on Daredevil's insistence of no Killing to keep the character leashed in Born Again.

@BobGarlen - Kids shouldn't be on any platform or service without parental supervision. The problem isn't Disney. If kids are watching violence, that's the parent's problem and shouldn't be affecting my consuming of the same content.

@BobGarlen - Well considering the fact the first show was *also* made by Disney (it was produced by ABC Television and then distributed to Netflix), I think you're worrying a bit too much.
