Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ranking Every Upcoming TV Show By Anticipation
3. The Punisher
Release Date: 2017
By the time the Punisher was announced as part of Daredevil's second season, the character had already made his way to the big screen several times, none of which had fully satisfied fans, who were happy the character had finally made his way back home to Marvel. Fortunately, Jon Bernthal's take on the violent anti-hero turned out to be the highlight of the season, satisfying old fans and earning a legion of new fans, most of whom were eager to see such a fantastic version of the character unleashed in his own adventures.
With such a warm public reception to the Punisher, it came as no surprise when Marvel and Netflix announced that his own series was on the way for next year. As always, with the show currently filming, story details are tight under wraps, but the information we do have - from Bernthal's ability in the role to the fact that long-time Punisher characters Billy "Jigsaw" Russo and Micro will be turning up - has already gone a long way in making the character's solo series one of the most exciting prospects of 2017.
