The cancellation of Netflix daredevil was truly some of the most devastating news Marvel fans had ever heard, and they were all pretty mad about it too. But we’re back on track on the Daredevil train again with a new reboot of the series, all thanks to Disney.
Daredevil: Born Again is the latest live-action adaptation of the comic book character and has also been confirmed to be a reboot of the Netflix version. The show will also be the eleventh installment in Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And it was recently reported that the upcoming TV series will also feature a fan-favorite character from 2015’s Drew Goddard version.

Daredevil: Born Again would have the return of a Punisher
Daredevil: Born Again is going to be a treat for fans of the Netflix version as the series is set to include a record eighteen episodes in its very first season! That’s a lot of hours to keep you glued to the screen.
But that’s not the only thing fans are excited about, the show’s return of Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock has also been rumored to feature a return for Jon Bernthal’s Punisher.
Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones is reportedly back for a Defenders reunion with Cox’s Matt Murdock in another Marvel TV series titled Echo. This led many to speculate that the two defenders were also going to share the same screen in Daredevil’s next reboot.

Those reports are brushed aside, however, by news suggesting the return of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, which has already made an appearance in the Netflix version.
KC Walsh of The Geeks Worldwide, an entertainment scooper, posted a message on his Twitter account saying Jessica Jones’ slot was being replaced due to a scheduling conflict.
I know I was in denial about this, but it looks like another popular character will also appear due to a scheduling conflict, as it looks like they’ll be playing the supposed role that Jessica Jones had https: //t.co/MIjs4YAyFc

This tweet was followed by another tweet from Cape Town Time podcast host Tom Smith, who was pretty adamant about Bernthal’s return-
Basically, Born Again is reintroducing Netflix characters to the mainstream and they were planning on bringing in Ritter, but there’s a planning issue for Born Again. So they needed another Netflix star to fill the role. It’s Jon Bernthal. I wouldn’t be shocked if Ritter cameos https://t.co/7OKGnij13Z pic.twitter.com/u2oJnKbmS4

It looks like Marvel is reintroducing the characters from the Netflix version, with Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin also slated for a return. Nothing to say from our side!

Fans are divided on this Daredevil rumor – Jessica Jones or Punisher?
Marvel fans can’t decide who they want more in the Daredevil reboot at all, and it has to be Jessica Jones or the Punisher.
The Jessica Jones The TV series received pretty rave reviews from critics after its release in 2015. On the other hand, the Punisher was a fan-favorite character in daredevil season two, with Punisher’s argument with Murdock in episode three forever etched in Marvel TV history as one of the most iconic scenes of all time.

Here’s Twitter going crazy over Jones being replaced by the Punisher, and they can’t choose! –
This user hates Krysten Ritter’s character-
Good. Jessica Jones was awful. The actress, the clothing choices, the horrible fake drunk she did. Urgh…why did she wear makeup if she didn’t care? She hated people but always helped? I get it… trash writing, they need better female writers.

This user wants a cameo, at least-

Quite contradictory to use a Punisher GIF, isn’t it? –

Bernthal’s return as the Punisher would do wonders for the Daredevil reboot, but it’s worth remembering that his return is just a rumor for now, and Jessica Jones still has a place in the TV series.
