Ever since the world learned that the creators at the Marvel Cinematic Universe are planning to go big with Daredevil, excitement has been building. The announcement of Daredevil: Born Again, a new series in the making, has fans buzzing with anticipation. The addition of familiar characters has only heightened the excitement.

However, it seems his role in the first season will be limited. 

Daredevil: Born Again Update

Yes, you read that right. According to the latest reports circulating online, Marvel executives have decided to explore The Punisher more extensively in Daredevil: Born Again season 2, rather than in the first season. This decision seems to be a strategic move to focus on a more limited number of storylines per season. As Charlie Cox reprises his role as Matt Murdock, the first season will shine a spotlight on Daredevil. The plot remains tightly under wraps. Read on for more details.

According to The Cosmic Circus, Alex Perez recently hosted a question-and-answer session where he addressed numerous queries regarding upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. One of the questions was about The Punisher and whether we can expect a dedicated show for him after Daredevil: Born Again. Perez revealed that the character will be explored more deeply in the second season.

“[Punisher] will show up in season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. But as I understand it, The Punisher’s role will be expanded in the second season, as the first season feels more like a setup for his story to continue in the next season, from what was described to me,” he said.
