Marvel's The Defenders: 8 Big Questions We Need Answers To
2. Is The Punisher Going To Show Up?
Despite all those supporting cast announcements, the one we most expected to turn up in the show has yet to be confirmed.
After Jon Bernthal played the best Punisher we have ever seen on screen, naturally it was announced that he would be getting his solo show - which will arrive in 2018, after The Defenders. Even so, it would make a lot of sense for this honorary fifth Defender to turn up in that series as well. We're not expecting a sizeable role - they should save that until The Defenders 2 - but at least a brief cameo. Perhaps something similar to his rescue of Daredevil in the season two finale?
The fact that no news has sprung up about this could mean that Marvel are keeping his role close to their chests because they know it's something we want to see. Alternatively, it could mean that he just isn't in it. We'll just have to wait and see.
