As the MCU starts to incorporate several acquired properties of Marvel Comics superheroes and villains into itself, the plot naturally thickens with excitement and anticipation from the public as to what will happen next. And it seems like the much-awaited return of Jon Bernthal as The Punisher in the franchise may not be that far off into the future.
Although the fans would love to see the star put in his tactical vest and dish out some justice on organized crime, which just so happens to be Wilson Fisk, a.k.a Kingpin’s domain, his MO might just be the thing that makes Fisk untouchable. Seeing his anti-vigilante stance on the world, Kingpin might become the Mayor of New York he stated inEcho’spost-credit scenes.
Jon Bernthal’s Return As The Punisher May End Up Raising Kingpin Above The Law
With familiar characters from the world of Netflix’s Defender Universe starting to emerge after the resurfacing ofVincent D’Onofrioas Wilson Fisk in the MCU, the stage is being set for proper reintroductions of vigilantes like Daredevil and The Punisher in the upcoming Disney+ seriesDaredevil; Born Again.
While Charlie Cox may have made several appearances on the silver screen as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen already, his most recent being in the miniseriesEcho,Jon Bernthal‘s The Punisher seems to be the core component of the machinery missing from the action. But with the recent development in the last episode of the aforementioned show, it seems like he too will be joining the fray, although, it may just get worse in the upcoming series.
In the post-credit scenes ofEcho, we witness Fisk showing his intentions to run for Mayor of New York in the future, which will be perfect for Frank Castle to cut down the head of the serpent known as organized crime once and for all with The Kingpin at the helm. But the return of the Punisher could also be a blessing in disguise for The Kingpin since he can use the public sentiment about vigilantes and heroes in general to benefit his own agenda of anti-vigilantism.
Thus, Castle may become collateral damage and a scapegoat for Fisk to gain power over New York City, and become the ultimate power in the world of crime in the MCU.
What To Expect FromDaredevil: Born Again?
With these recent developments, along with Cox appearing as Daredevil in the latest Disney+ series, people can start to paint a faint picture of whatDaredevil: Born Againmay hold for us in the future.
We already know that familiar characters like Foggy Nelson and Karen Page are going to make an appearance in the upcoming show, and now, possibly evenAlaqua Coxas Maya Lopez along with Bernthal’s Frank Castle. While more details may not be known, we do know that the show will retain all the dark and gritty narrative that the original Netflix version was loved for.
