Marvel unveils the first footage from The Punisher during the San Diego Comic-Con panel for The Defenders, teasing the Netflix series.
Additionally, a second season of Daredevil introduced the Marvel antihero Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), who was so well received by viewers that Marvel and Netflix ordered The Punisher to series.
Marvel and Netflix hadn’t yet unveiled any footage from The Punisher, though that isn’t uncommon for Marvel’s Netflix series since they generally wait until one premieres before they begin the big marketing push on the next show on their slate.
However, 2017 is the first year that three Marvel series will debut on Netflix – Iron Fist, The Defenders, and The Punisher – so the studio changed up their typical marketing rollout.
