As Marvel Television looks to revamp the way it produces streaming projects, it’s beginning to look as though they may choose to continue down the path previously blazed at Netflix. With Marvel Studios’ Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum, confirming that the studio hopes to continue making additional seasons of Daredevil beyond Season 2, it’s clear that The Man Without Fear is a treasured commodity at Marvel. And it sounds like he’s not the only one.
While promoting the upcoming release of Daredevil: Born Again, Winderbaum revealed that Marvel Studios is working with The Punisher star Jon Bernthal on a Special Presentation.
Bernthal‘s Frank Castle is set to return in a fairly large capacity in the first season of Daredevil: Born Again and despite starring in one season of Daredevil and two seasons of The Punisher, there’s a whole lot of room for the character to explore in the MCU.
A potential Punisher-centric project has been rumored for some time and with the studio turning its attention to series which can churn out seasons annually, a Special Presentation is probably the best way for Bernthal’s character to tread water in the MCU. The format allows for the studio to tell self-contained stories without the constraints of longform storytelling and have, so far, been well-received. Of course, at the glacial pace at which the studio is currently moving forward with projects, Miami may become fully submerged in the Atlantic before The Punisher Special Presentation hits D+.
