A new rumor surrounding Daredevil Born Again claims the Disney+ series will feature an appearance from Jon Bernthal as The Punisher.
Could Jon Bernthal be set to return as The Punisher in Daredevil: Born Again? That is what a new rumor from notable insider KC Walsh claims, with the claim adding that Frank Castle will replace Krysten Ritters Jessica Jones who was initially lined up for an appearance in the standalone Daredevil Disney+ series.According to the insider, scheduling conflicts likely due to her leading role in Orphan Black Echoeshave stopped Krysten Ritter from being able to bring back Jessica Jones alongside Charlie Coxs Matt Murdock. Instead, another popular Marvel character will take her place with Walsh providing a pretty major hint over who that character will be.
The return of Jessica Jones has been rumored for some time with several outlets claiming that she would play a role in the upcoming Echo series before appearing alongside Daredevil in his solo series. Reports have since stated that Charlie Cox will feature in Echo and considering the history of the characters in the pages of Marvel Comics a cameo from Daredevil is near enough a sure thing.
What is a little more indeterminate is who if anyone will appear in Daredevil: Born Again. Considering that the likes of Hawkeye and She Hulk Attorney at Law have both been used to bring the likes of Kingpin and Daredevil fully into the MCU it certainly stands to reason that Daredevil Born Again will act as another platform for an already beloved character. And if not Jessica Jones then why not The Punisher?
Of course Matt Murdock and Frank Castle and their alter egos have a history with the pair coming to blows in the second season of Daredevil before Murdock used his powers as a lawyer to defend the violent vigilante in court. So while this is just a rumor at present Daredevil Born Again would undoubtedly be the perfect time to bring Jon Bernthal and The Punisher back into the Marvel fray.
Not much is yet known about the direction of Daredevil: Born Again but Marvel Studios has revealed that it will run for a mammoth 18 episodes. After appearing as Matt Murdock in Spider Man: No Way Home Charlie Cox will first reprise the role of Daredevil in She Hulk Attorney at Law, followed by appearing in the Disney+ series Echo. Daredevil Born Again will follow and is expected to be released in Spring 2024.
