Daredevil: Born Again Rumored To Have A Punisher Return

Daredevil: Born Again is going to be a treat for fans of the Netflix version as the show is set to include a record-breaking 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 that’s keeping fans excited, the return of Charlie Cox‘s Matt Murdock show has also been rumored to feature a return for Jon Bernthal’s Punisher.

Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones was reported to be returning for a Defenders reunion with Cox’s Matt Murdock on another Marvel TV series called Echo. This led many to speculate that the two Defenders were also going to share the same screen in the upcoming Daredevil reboot as well.

These reports, however, are being dismissed by new ones suggesting the return of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, who already made an appearance in the Netflix version.

The Geeks Worldwide’s KC Walsh, an entertainment scooper, made a post on their Twitter account saying that Jessica Jones’ slot is going to get replaced due to a scheduling conflict-

This tweet was followed up by another tweet from Cape Time podcast host Tom Smith, who was pretty adamant about Bernthal’s return-

It does look like Marvel is re-introducing the characters from the Netflix version, with Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin also slated for a comeback. No complaints from our side!

The Jessica Jones TV series got some pretty rave reviews from critics after it was released 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 being forever engraved in Marvel TV history as one of the most iconic scenes ever.

Here’s Twitter going crazy about the replacement of Jones with the Punisher, and they can not choose! –

This user hates Krysten Ritter’s character-

This user wants a cameo, at least-

This user is rejoicing at Jon Bernthal’s rumored return-

This fan is damn right-

Quite contradictory to use a Punisher GIF, no? –

Bernthal’s return as the Punisher would do wonders for the Daredevil reboot, but it’s important to not forget that his return is simply a rumor for now, and Jessica Jones still has her place in the TV series.
