With Netflix raising the bar on what’s acceptable on the small-screen, Marvel fans have one character right at the top of their wishlist for a Daredevil spin-off, and showrunner Steven DeKnight is of the same mind.
“I’ve been a huge fan of the Punisher comics for years,” says DeKnight, speaking exclusively to SciFiNow.”I’d love to see him get his due on a platform like this. Nothing would delight me more than to see the Punisher get his own show and maybe we could convince Marvel to go Hard-R rating. If any character deserves an R rating, it’s the Punisher.”
Indeed, bearing in mind the various blood-splattered scenes we’ve seen in the trailer, we can see the Punisher fitting seamlessly into the world, perhaps as a character who faces off against Daredevil. Considering the similarities between the two characters, it would be a great face-off, something that series Charlie Cox agrees with.
