Marvel Comics’ popular vigilante anti-hero, The Punisher, made his debut in Season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil. To the surprise of fans and critics alike, The Punisher was portrayed fabulously by Jon Bernthal, making The Punisher one of Marvel’s most popular characters.
Recently, Disney has announced that the fan favorite character is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Daredevil’s fourth season, Daredevil: Born Again. This announcement could mean a lot of things for Marvel and its fans, as the character of The Punisher is very much beloved.
As a fan favorite, The Punisher in the MCU could bring a lot of new stories to the table. He could tackle new themes, stories, and villains that the Marvel Cinematic Universe haven’t seen before. Bernthal’s Punisher also has a no-nonsense attitude that could be a great source of comedy when it comes to his interaction with other characters.
The Punisher’s entrance into the MCU could also be the start of a crossover with other MCU television shows. After the success of The Punisher in the Daredevil series, it makes sense for him to crossover with other shows, such as Luke Cage and The Defenders. It could also mean a possible television series for The Punisher, something fans have been asking for since the first season of Daredevil.
Overall, the inclusion of The Punisher in the MCU gives Marvel fans something to look forward to. Not only will fans get to see more of Bernthal’s Punisher, but it could also mean pursuing even more new avenues for Marvel to explore. It’s another sign that Marvel is clearly dedicated to expanding its reach and tell stories that challenge us and make us think.
