Marvel’s ‘The Punisher’ Release Date May Finally Be Revealed
The trailers and ads forThe Punisherhave been chock full of violence, gore, and intrigue, but they’re all missing one thing: the release date.
Marvel and Netflix have been frustratingly withholding of the newest street-hero series' premiere date, followingDaredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, andThe Defenders. But it may be thanks to an innocuous write-up of the upcoming first season that we may finally knowThe Punisherrelease date.
The first full trailer forThe Punisherpiqued a lot of interest in the series from people who assumed it would just be a bloodier and more bone-crunching version ofDaredevil(myself included).Jon Bernthalstole the show inDaredevilseason 2, and promises to more than hold his own in his own spin-off series as the brooding, turmoiled vigilante Frank Castle. New characters were introduced, and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) is back to presumably reprise her burning chemistry with Frank. But we just didn’t know when to expect this series to hit the streaming service, with the dates annoyingly blacked out. Until now.
Here’s the image from the Reddit user, viaHeroic Hollywood:
The Punisherwas bound to be released before the end of this year, with trailers,stills, and evenepisode titlesrevealed. So it’s no surprise that it’s coming to our small screens soon — and fast.
It should be noted that there has been no official release date confirmed by Marvel or Netflix. Though with this reported date starting to hit the internet, we can probably expect an announcement soon.
Here is the synopsis forThe Punisher:
After exacting revenge on those responsible for the death of his wife and children, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) uncovers a conspiracy that runs far deeper than New York’s criminal underworld. Now known throughout the city as The Punisher, he must discover the truth about injustices that affect more than his family alone.
In addition to Bernthal in the title role and Woll as a returning character fromDaredevil,The Punisheralso starsBen Barnesas Billy Russo,Jason R. Mooreas Curtis Hoyle,Daniel Webberas Lewis Walcott,Paul Schulzeas Rawlins,Jaime Ray Newmanas Sarah Lieberman, andMichael Nathansonas Sam Stein.
