It looks as if Netflix may be releasing the Punisher series in 2017, which means possibly three Marvel shows for that year.
Netflix updated their queue which says Marvel’s The Punisher comes out in 2017 and included as the description: “After the murder of his family, Frank Castle is both haunted and hunted. In the criminal underworld, he’ll become known as The Punisher.”
It is possible the Punisher information is simply a placeholder (see below); so the release date may change.
Jon Bernthal stars as The Punisher, with with Steve Lightfoot (Hannibal) serving as Executive Producer and Showrunner in addition to writing the series’ first two episodes.
The other two Marvel series slated for 2017 on Netflix include Iron Fist and The Defenders; however, The Defenders is only getting eight episodes (compared to thirteen) as it’s more of an event series that sees the characters from the other shows teaming up in Avengers-like fashion.
Marvel and Netflix also have Luke Cage debuting Friday, September 30th.
A Daredevil Season 3 and Jessica Jones Season 2 is in the works as well, which look to be released in 2018.
Via reddit:
For fans of the Marvel Netflix shows, Daredevil and Jessica Jones, you are going to have to wait a bit for new episodes as it’s learned Daredevil Season 3 and Jessica Jones Season 2 will be arriving in 2018 along with the Jon Bernthal Punisher series.
Update: Netflix has updated their queue stating Punisher in 2017.
The good news is that while you wait, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Defenders will be filling the gap.
At the TCA press tour, Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos revealed the Marvel Netflix series wouldn’t arrive on Netflix until at least 2018.
Sarandos also confirmed Luke Cage premiers September 30th, and that both Iron Fist and Defenders debut on Netflix in 2017.
The new keeps with Netflix’s schedule of airing two Marvel series per year, which may mean Punisher may not hit until 2019 or that Netflix may break from doing two Marvel series and go with three.
It’s also reported that Jon Bernthal’s Punisher may turn up in Defenders. Bernthal also appeared at Comic-Con during the recent Marvel TV Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Defenders panel.

Netflix has ordered a full first season of “Marvel’s The Punisher,” continuing their unprecedented collaboration with Marvel Television.
Jon Bernthal will reprise his role as Frank Castle, introduced to fans earlier this year in the second season of the Netflix original series “Marvel’s Daredevil,” with Steve Lightfoot (“Hannibal”) serving as Executive Producer and Showrunner in addition to writing the series’ first two episodes.

“Jon hooked our global audience with his performance as Frank Castle from the moment he stepped on screen in ‘Marvel’s Daredevil,’ and we are looking forward to seeing more of him in this role under the vision of Steve Lightfoot,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Content.
“For me, the complexity and unpredictability of Frank Castle make him an incredibly compelling character and I couldn’t be more excited to dive into his world,” said Executive Producer and Showrunner, Steve Lightfoot. “After watching Jon’s performance in ‘Marvel’s Daredevil’ I could not be more excited to be working with him to further develop and progress the story of this anti-hero in a show of his own.”

Jon Bernthal and Tom Holland worked together to nail their Marvel auditions of Punisher and Spider-Man, respectively.
Bernthal went on to star in Season 2 of Daredevil (with a Punisher Netflix series rumored), and of course Tom Holland will first appear as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War followed by the 2017 standalone Spidey movie.
While speaking with Complex.com, Jon Bernthal offered an inside look at their audition process offering Tom Holland really fought to play the role of Spider-Man and more:
I worked with Tom intensely in Ireland on the movie that we did; a group of us were all living in a remote part of Western Ireland, eating every meal together, on set all day with each other. And I got to tell you, in all my years in Hollywood, I’m probably more impressed with Tom Holland than anyone else I’ve ever met. For a guy his age, he’s a force of nature. I saw him go through the process of trying to win that role. He fought for it. He just went out and got it. That’s not an easy feat.
A couple of weeks ago also saw Bernthal offer the following to the NY Daily News:
“We were making tapes from Ireland in the process of getting him cast in Spider-Manand then he and I made a tape for The Punisher. During this independent movie that we did in Ireland we were constantly making tapes for Marvel – just acting together. These tapes definitely do exist, you can call Marvel and ask for it, but that’s like breaking into Fort Knox.”
“I called the guys at Marvel when they were casting (Spider-Man) and I heard he was in the final handful of guys and said, ‘Look for what it’s worth you’re not going to meet a harder working more appreciative kind of guy. I was so blown away by his sort of attitude and work ethic and how good he was.’ But then I said to Tom, ‘I’ve told them that, so don’t prove me wrong.'”
“Captain America: Civil War” has a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.
Synopsis:
Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
Daredevil Season 2 is now availabe on Netflix with all 13 episodes.
The first episode, “Bang,” features the Man Without Fear talking on Frank Castle for the first time.
Someone went and uploaded the fight on to YouTube. Check it out below.
My thoughts:
I see the unrealistic fights and choreography carry over from the first season, which is a big disappoinment in my book. I recall normal guys getting up in that hallway scene after getting hit a hundred times as well as by butts of guns to the face. We see more of that hear as Daredevil and Punisher hit each other a gazillion times, and keep getting up.
These guys aren’t supposed to have super-strength or mutant healing powers, right?
Ah, well, at least I have John Wick 2 to look forward to.
I’m lost. Does #Punisher have super powers? More awful fight choreography in #Daredevil

In addition to the new character promo, Marvel has debuted a new Jon Bernthal Punisher poster and interview for Daredevil Season 2.
Via Marvel.com:
I think that another part is really trying to empathize and try to understand through every avenue that’s made available to you what it means to be a veteran of war and to see real war combat. This is a character that’s extremely important to the military and extremely important to members of law enforcement. This character, he means a lot to a lot of people. So there were a lot of days, in Brooklyn, when I first got there, [where I’d] be putting on fifty, sixty pound weights on my back and just walking back and forth over the Brooklyn Bridge, talking to myself. My own little crazy ways of getting into the character. This is a real responsibility and a real honor for me, and I just hope [with] all the hard work, that we got some of it right.
A big part of Matt Murdock is he needs to be one very bad day away from being Frank Castle. That’s the crux of their conflict: “You don’t know what I’ve been through. You don’t know what I’m all about. Get out of my way.” And this sort of concern for the greater good is something that I think is secondary to this man at this point. What’s interesting is you find these two characters that are so alike and so different and then when they collide, they just learn from each other.

With their potentially being a lot of characters in Avengers: Infinity War, how about Daredevil being amongst them?
Well, it doesn’t seem to be on the cards at the moment, as Charlie Cox says he hasn’t gotten the call, but the actor tells Entertainment Tonight he wants in.
“Yeah. That would be the coolest thing ever. Marvel TV and Marvel Studios are two very different things,” said Cox. “Even if the character were to appear in that film, that doesn’t necessarily mean that I would appear in that film. I will pick a fight with the guy that they choose!… So that would be a dream, but that’s not something that has been discussed.”
Jon Bernthal also talked about playing The Punisher offering it’s an honor and that he looks at playing the character as a responsibility.

Probably one of the most highly anticipated debuts of a new hero (or villain?) is Jon Bernthal as The Punisher for Daredevil Season 2.
Bernthal spoke with EW.com about playing The Punisher, and while he obviously couldn’t offer any specific details, did talk about getting into the character.
It’s an important character, it’s one I’m honored to play. This is a guy who means a lot to a lot of people and his character has resonate with law enforcement and military. People have been coming up to me on the streets of New York saying, “Do not mess this up.”
The training and physicality is extremely important in whatever I do. Luckily I know guys in the military branch he was in. I trained with them and trained a lot with weapons. But with Frank, what was important was the emptiness inside him. He’s dealing with this unbelievable loss. There’s unbelievable anger and hatred and shame. There’s a sense of responsibility and as a father and husband, if I were to lose my family on my watch … I had to put myself in as dark of place as possible the last six months.
Especially at the beginning, what was powerful was a lot of isolation. The first few months I was taking long walks across the Brooklyn Bridge to the set, trying to shed any outside influence of joy. Whether it’s successful or not remains to be seen.
This is a guy who pushes the envelope. He’s brutal, but he’s coming from a place of unbelievable hurt. And the best thing about the character is he just doesn’t care. It’s a highly personal mission he’s on and if he offends you, it’s completely unimportant to him.
I think once you see these characters collide [Daredevil], it’s tremendously interesting and emotionally gripping as well. It’s going to be a special season. If you thought last season of Daredevil was dark, we’re going to a whole new place.
It also recently became known a Punisher spinoff series is in development.
“Daredevil” Season 2 debuts Friday March 18th on Netflix.
With Jon Bernthal set to appear in Daredevil Season 2 as Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, it’s being reported Netflix and Marvel are now developing a spin-off series set to star the fan-favorite actor and character.
According to TV Line, it’s said Netflix is “this close” to pulling the trigger on the Punisher series.
While Bernthal has yet to debut as the Punisher, it’s noted the early buzz surrounding the Punisher’s appearance “is overwhelmingly positive.”
Assuming the Punisher series does get green lit (no-brainer, guys!), this would mark the six Marvel series on Netflix following Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders.
Jon Bernthal can first be seen as The Punisher when Daredevil season 2 premiers in its entirety on Friday, March 18th on Netflix.

Check out first look images at Season 2 of Daredevil which includes Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, and Elodie Yung as Elektra.
Regarding Punisher, Bernthal told EW.com:
”People have been coming up to me on the streets of New York saying, ‘Do not mess this up. This character has resonated with law enforcement and military. He’s brought the war home with him in the worst possible way. And the best thing about him is that if he offends you, he just doesn’t care.”
Regarding Elektra, showrunner Doug Petrie said:
“Matt’s a deeply moral complicated guy and she’s just the best bad girlfriend you can possibly have. She does everything wrong and attractive, she’s his id, the wild side. Matt is always taming his wild side. Elektra just lets it out. He’s both repulsed and deeply drawn to that.”
Daredevil Season 2 is said to premier on Netflix in March 2016 and stars Charlie Cox as the Man Without Fear.
Check out a cool Red-Band trailer above for what can only be described as the supernatural version of Marvel’s Punisher.
Henry Rollins stars in He Never Died, which hits select theaters and VOD on December 18th.
Synopsis:
He Never Died follows Jack in his battle with cannibalism and mental sobriety. An exceptionally prolonged life has brought depression and detachment. Jack buys stolen blood from a hospital intern, plays bingo, sleeps fourteen hours a day, watches television six hours a day, and lives alone. This is his life – he has shelled himself away from social interactions.
The fuse is lit when Jack’s past comes back to rattle him. Jack must now walk a tightrope of sobriety and try to eat as few people as possible in this violent tale of personal responsibility and self-worth. As it turns out, there are very few reasons to live when you can’t die.

Check out a description for a Daredevil Season 2 teaser that was shown off at Comic-Con Experience in Brazil.
The scene features Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock/Daredevil), Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle/Punisher) and Elodie Yung (Elektra).
Via Tumblr:
The “teaser” started on a scene where Matt, dressed as Daredevil (wearing the uniform from the end of season 1) walks on a room that looked like a refrigerator. The place was barely lit and had big slices of meat hanging from the ceiling.
As Daredevil walks on that room (the camera focused only at him) we see that he’s searching for something as he stays quiet, slowly walking deep into the room, turning his head trying to hear something. At some point, something not show to the spectator grasps his attention.
The camera open focus to the rest of the room and we see that there are alsopeople being hanged like meat.
Matt searches the corpses with his super senses, not touching, only trying for heart beats, once he finds someone he rush to aid the man: “I’ll take you of that”(or something like it), he says as he tries to take the barely alive man off the hook.
After succeeding, he lays the guy (that I have no idea of how he could be alive considering how badly injured the dude was) on the ground and say something along the lines “Why did they do this to you?” In which the guy mumbles “They? It was just a guy”. Matt stays dead silent, camera focusing on him.
The scene shifts. It’s night time and someone is on the top of a building aiming a sniper riffle at a person on a taxi. I’m not sure if the person being aimed was a man or a woman, though it looked like a woman.
The man behind the gun is no one else but the Frank Castle. While Frank is readying his riffle for the perfect shot, unaware of his surroundings, DD appears.
Running on the rooftop, he jumps and kicks the gun, amazingly diving over Frank to stop him. They soon engage on a fight, but when it was getting interesting and intense as fuck the scene was cut with the Daredevil logo and “2016 – NETFLIX”.

Following the rumor of Marvel Studios cancelling the Iron Fist Netflix series, which was then followed by the rumor of a Punisher series replacing the Iron Fist series, now comes another new rumor.
It’s being said that Marvel will be making an Iron Fist movie for Netflix.
The info comes again from Peel The Orange that states:
Marvel will be turning Iron Fist into a Netflix exclusive feature film. This will give Marvel extra time and a larger budget for this project. The Punisher will replace Iron Fist as one of the four Defenders.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22664:]]
With rumors of a Marvel internal civil war between the movies and TV/comics division, which states Marvel Studios may put the kabash on the use of Iron Fist in Netflix and the Defenders, comes new rumors suggesting The Punisher may be used as a replacement.
Word comes from Peel The Orange (via movie pilot):
Marvel can’t quite seem to figure out how to put Iron Fist into the equation and time is running out. They’re very pleased with how Jon Bernthal’s portrayal of Frank Castle for Season 2 of Daredevil and know that the fans have a great appreciation for the character. They also know that a Punisher series would be much cheaper and more marketable. They have a contract with Netflix and have to do something. It appears that for this phase of shows, time is running thin for Iron Fist.
It’s also suggested Marvel may be having a hard time finding a lead for Iron Fist, and we can even further speculate if the rumors of Marvel Studios axing Iron Fist on TV are true that Iron Fist may be appearing in the Marvel movies (possibly on the supernatural side of things with Doctor Strange, etc).
