Brad Winderbaum Teases The Punisher’s Role in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’—Plus, an Update on Elektra’s Return

In approximately a month’s time, the new series “Daredevil: Born Again” is all set to debut, leaving fans eagerly anticipating its arrival. The show promises to bring back beloved characters, such as Charlie Cox portraying Matt Murdock (Daredevil), Vincent D’Onofrio playing Kingpin, Elden Henson as Foggy, and Deborah Ann Woll in the role of Karen.

Among the eagerly awaited returns, it’s Jon Bernthal’s portrayal of The Punisher that has fans excited. His comeback is now official, as confirmed through interviews and set revelations, with sneak peeks from behind the scenes displaying him engaged in intense fight sequences alongside Daredevil.

As a passionate cinephile, I can tell you that during some significant creative shifts in the show, the storyline of a particular character, portrayed brilliantly by Jon Bernthal, persisted. The mastermind behind this production, Dario Scardapane, who has previously worked on the “The Punisher” series, confided that collaborating with Bernthal is always an intense and fulfilling experience.

Working with Jon and working with that character is always really intense, really satisfying

Although much of the Punisher’s specific part remains undisclosed, producer Brad Winderbaum subtly suggests that Matt reaches out to Frank for assistance with a task he can’t manage on his own. As the story unfolds, Frank’s participation becomes increasingly significant, culminating in some thrilling episodes towards the end.

Matt seeks out Frank since there’s a task he’s not keen on doing himself. Frank, who’s like a bull charging through a china shop, immediately addresses the issue at hand. As the season progresses, particularly towards its end, Frank’s encounters become increasingly wild.

Apart from Bernthal’s Punisher, there were other characters whose comeback was just a rumor before their roles were officially confirmed – one of them being Elodie Yung’s Elektra. Fans are excited about her potential return, and hints from recent casting announcements seem to support this possibility. The storyline involving Elektra is likely to intertwine with the Hand, and it appears that this could indeed unfold.

Sana Amanat, the producer, confirmed that they won’t be left behind, expressing their intention to delve deeper into these characters in the time ahead.

Without a doubt, it’s been lingering at the back of our minds. We plan to delve deeper into it eventually.
