DAREDEVIL: Is Punisher vs Daredevil The Focus Of Season 2?
A new rumor states that a Daredevil showrunner is referring to the second season of the Marvel|Netflix superhero drama as Punisher vs Daredevil. Will Frank Castle be the big-bad Matt Murdock faces in his second adventure?
'Daredevil vs Punisher' is the rumored focus of Daredevil S2
With Jon Bernthal confirmed to portray Frank Castle aka The Punisher in season 2 of Netflix's Daredevil, most fans assumed it would be for a guest arc lasting just a few episodes (similar to Stick in season one). However, a new report from Nerdist, states that their sources are hearing that co-showrunner Marco Ramirez is summing up the second season as "Punisher vs Daredevil". Could that mean that Frank Castle will have a more prominent role than just a guest arc and that he's actually the primary antagonist?
Elektra and Bullseye are pretty much confirmed to appear next season thanks to leaked audition tapes so perhaps it's not the traditional adversarial relationship between Punisher and Daredevil? It's more likely that Castle and Murdock will be going after the same target (perhaps Bullseye, Elektra or both) and their methodologies in pursuing said target put them at odds with one another. This is typically how most of their confrontations have played out in the analogs of Marvel Comics history.
Netflix has confirmed that Daredevil's sophomore season will stream in 2016.
