That said, it remains to be seen when The Punisher series will debut on Netflix.
However, Bernthal said shortly after Daredevil season 2 debuted on Netflix that Frank hadn’t fully become the comic book hero known as The Punisher – with that presumably left as the arc for the character’s solo series.
Shortly after Frank’s debut in the MCU, Netflix and Marvel announced The Punisher spinoff series was in the works with a showrunner already in place, Steve Lightfoot (Hannibal).
Netflix kicked off its MCU offerings early in 2015 with the debut of Daredevil, followed by Jessica Jones, then the second season of Daredevil, which additionally introduced Elektra (Élodie Yung) and Frank Castle aka The Punisher (Jon Bernthal).
