The Punisher

If you thought three new Marvel series in one year was a lot take in, Netflix sure isn’t going to make The Punisher easy on you. Get a look at the full cast with new photos from the forthcoming spinoff, but are we any closer to a premiere date? The suspense (and bullets) are killing me!

Neither The Punisher nor Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. got to hold court at Comic-Con 2017, but Marvel will change that for New York. Both series will be granted their own panels in Madison Square Garden to preview the upcoming seasons from NYCC.

Just when you thought the end of Game of Thrones Season 7 might cut you a break from must-see shows, in swoops fall TV with dozens upon dozens of new and returning TV series; enough to drive your DVR to self-immolation. Join us for a sneak peek!

Leave it to Frank Castle to work in stealth when the occasion calls. A series of cryptic tweets from The Punisher Twitter account offered a Morse Code clue for fans, and the results may reveal all thirteen episodes from the coming spinoff.

The Defenders have had their fun, and The Punisher is taking the spotlight by force. See for yourself with yet another teaser for the Daredevil spinoff, as we meet Frank’s friends and allies and “fall in.”

The grand experiment of Marvel’s Netflix Defenders more or less paid off, but we’ll always wonder why some fan-favorites didn’t make the cut. Enter producer Marco Ramirez, who explains why Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin wasn’t a central threat, and why Punisher was too busy.

The Defenders had their day, and only The Punisher remains on Marvel’s 2017 Netflix slate. We’ve seen one teaser, so catch a brand-new photo and synopsis for Frank Castle’s continuing adventures, as Marvel plays coy with the premiere.

The Punisher may not have gotten to play with The Defenders, but you knew Frank Castle wouldn’t let us linger for long. Watch Jon Bernthal put on his best Thor impression with a first official teaser for the upcoming spinoff.

We’re far enough into Marvel’s movie and TV universes that crossover potential seems remote, though the latter’s move from ABC to Netflix and Hulu raises questions. Marvel’s Runaways are now confirmed to inhabit the same universe, but likely won’t meet either Avengers or Defenders.

The Defenders will bring us the spectacle of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist united, so it came as little surprise Jon Bernthal’s Punisher would stick to his spinoff for now. Marvel isn’t certain how, or when a second Defenders season might take place, but The Punisher may not become a team player then, either.
