Daredevil: Born Again is adding another familiar face to its cast. Jon Bernthal, who played Punisher (aka Frank Castle) on Marvel’s Daredevil and in his own Marvel series on Netflix, is joining the Disney+ series.
A reboot of Netflix’s Daredevil series, Born Again will see Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio reprising their roles as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, respectively. However, viewers will not see Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson reprising their roles for the new series. Disney+ has ordered 18 episodes for the reboot.
THR revealed the following about the series:
Born Again takes its title from a landmark Daredevil storyline published in 1986, written by Frank Miller and drawn by David Mazzuchelli. The show is deviating from that plot, although by how much is unclear. The Punisher, for example, made no appearance in the comic story. Daredevil versus Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin, remains the focal point.
A premiere date for Daredevil: Born Again will be announced later.
What do you think? Are you excited to see Bernthal back as Punisher for the Daredevil reboot?
I don’t understand Disney they’re cutting money off the budget in a putting crap like this . What’s the sense of canceling all the shows and putting crap. Hasn’t Generally been over exacerbated already? The Disney stockholders going crazy.
Honestly , i don’t think id want to watch this as i was already sick of the story line and character with D’Onofrio..it was so drawn out and pretty repetitive and just stupid..he should not be in this.
Anyone excited by this, remember it’s on Disney, and their track record with Marvel shows is BAD!!!!!
Yes! The Punisher does a Terminator impression, because he’s back!
Jon Berthal’s rendition of that character is awesome. Charlie Cox is also great with DareDevil, which is much more likeable/sellable to a larger public than The Punisher is.
Let’s see how Vincent D’Onofrio’s considerable acting ‘chops’ hold up to those 2. Great news overal!!
Hooray! I’m glad to see Jon Bernthal added to Daredevil’s cast – This is going to be fun! I’m really disappointed that Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson won’t be back. They added so much to the series. I hope there’s a Daredevil future for them! I hope Krysten Ritter and Mike Colter are part of this movie, or if not, near future too!
My guess for the reason that Woll and Henson are not involved is because it might be that Daredevil moves out to San Francisco where he becomes involved with a whole set of supporting characters. In the comics he has moved to the West Coast two times in the past, even the Kingpin has tried his hand at controlling the mobs out in San Francisco at one time or another.
After all, we did have Daredevil visit She-Hulk in Los Angeles – so a change in locale could set the tone for a different kind of show.
