In the absence of official confirmation from Marvel Studios, the news seems to be in line with the events that have been happening lately. It’s been a few months since the series created by Netflix and Marvel are gradually reappearing within the UCM. First did Kingping, the character of “Daredevil” played by Vincent D’Onofrio, who made his first appearance in the MCU during the first season of “Hawkeye”. Subsequently, the happy news that Charlie Cox would be part of the MCU as Matt Murdock was confirmed. Both characters will return in the next 2024 in the new series ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ and the lawyer will also appear in ‘She-Hulk: Lawyer Hulka’.
What will we find The Punisher?
Less than a year ago Bernthal, has shown his predisposition to play Castle again, but on one condition. This condition meant maintaining the darkness and violence that characterize The Punisher.
Therefore, The uncertainty remains as to how much violence Marvel will be willing to allow. Very similar to what happened recently with Ryan Reynolds and the inclusion of Deadpool in the UCM, which ended up getting away with getting the “Rated R” rating for “Deadpool 3”.
