The Punisher
The Punisher’s Rosario Dawson may have just revealed some important information about the series revival. The production giant hasn’t stopped building the MCU as a formidable force; he also worked diligently to replicate that success in television. WandaVision and Loki have been massive hits recently, and Ms. Marvel has been mesmerizing viewers with its portrayal of the genesis tale of a child superhero. The Punisher was another series that was instrumental in Marvel’s TV popularity.
It became a fan favorite for two seasons and helped propel Jon Bernthal into international stardom. Due to licensing issues, Netflix ultimately decided to end the show after just two seasons. Fans have been begging Marvel to bring him back ever since, and it seems their wish has been granted. The Punisher’s Rosario Dawson has hinted at a possible return for the anti-hero.
The actress said at this year’s C2E2 that she found out about it the day before. Watch the video below to find out what she had to say.
Marvel continues to keep fans in the dark
While Marvel Studios hasn’t officially confirmed Punisher’s return, it seems likely given recent events in the MCU. During the MCU, the Marvel TV period made a resurgence in late 2021. The Kingpin, played by Vincent D’Onofrio of Daredevil fame, appeared in the first season of Hawkeye and was revealed to be the main antagonist of the show. . Daredevil: Born Again will premiere in 2024 as a revived series, and that same month, Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock made a pivotal appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
It remains to be seen how Bernthal’s Punisher will return, but it’s another example of Marvel Television finally being recognized for its achievements. Originally, the MCU movies ignored the events of the TV series to the point of not even referencing them. Agents of SHIELD and other Marvel TV programs have always been canon since they’re all set in the same shared universe as the movie. Following Dawson’s statements, perhaps others will be revealed at D23 regarding The Punisher’s return to the MCU.
