6. The Punisher

Who: Jon Bernthal, Ben Barnes, Ebon Moss-Bachrach

What: After his introduction in Daredevil Season 2, Bernthal's Frank Castle gets to go solo. Like what we got of the character there, this'll see a Castle haunted by the death of his family, and deciding to become a vigilante who uses lethal means to get results.

Why: Bernthal's Punisher was the highlight of Daredevil's second season, and fans have been desperate to see a solo series since. All Netflix/Marvel shows go dark, but this should be another level entirely, taking things to new depths of violence while further exploring the dangerous mind of Castle - this time, aided and abetted by the likes of longtime sidekick Micro.

Where & When: Netflix, TBA
