Punisher (DareDevil and Kingpin) will appear alongside Spiderman in future MCU films
- Thread starter T002 Tyrant
- Start date
- Rumor
Colleen Wing is the Iron Fist, and he has damn Iron Fist guns, it was badass lol.
I actually really enjoyed both seasons, I think people are too harsh on that actor as Iron Fist.
Keeping Cox, D'onofrio, Bernthal = yes
Losing Colter and Jones = yes
Keeping Ritter = eeeeh, no thanks. I want Bendis's Alias, not the insufferable take we got in that show.

Ritters version pf Jones is one of the best characters in the MCU. Hard disagree.
I know Cox and D'Onofrio are locked in as their characters, but please also keep Berenthal.
All three were perfect casting.

As a fan of Bendis's character from her start in Alias, through his Daredevil run, to The Pulse, and all the way to the Avengers Annual where she gets married, I thought the Netflix show was an abomination. Right up there with AMC's Preacher as the worst adaptation of a comic book I've ever suffered through.
If an MCU director can completely reboot her character, great. But if she remains the same as her Netflix version....ugh.
It's not a faithful interpretation, but as an actual character I absolutely loved her. She was the best kind of mess. The original version felt pretty bland by comparison.
Thinking on it more, if this rumour pans out, I think all the Netflix characters will feel different in order to fit the MCU universe. What people cynically call the 'MCU formula' I simply call 'tone' and 'consistency'. The characters have to feel like they all share the same universe, and so I think Netflix actors like Bernthal and Ritter will adjust their performances according to Feige's vision.
I don't think it'll be obvious, they're not going to start throwing Whedon style quips every second, but there'll be a subtle difference for sure.
I really wouldn't mind if they just let Colleen be the permanent Iron Fist.
/Danny decided to focus on becoming a capitalist overload with the Meachum siblings and were never seen again.
Ohhhhh. Fuck I thought I read it was daredevils college years. I was so confused how Charlie cox and Vincent dofreo were gonna be in freshman philosophy together
Gonna echo what a lot of others have said in here. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio were spot on casting for DD and Kingpin. I've been hoping to see them brought into the MCU fold. Honestly, I think Cox needs his own MCU-led film. I know this is just a rumor (and a sketchy one at that, based on the source's track record) but I'll allow myself to hope a little bit here.
Jon Bernthal was a good Punisher, too. So I'd definitely be OK seeing him reprise the role. The other Marvel show leads were hit or miss, so honestly I wouldn't be all to upset if they were recast. Then again I was never really into any of them in the comics.
Also, Holland's Spidey reminds me of my son so I'll always have a soft spot for him lol. His movies are all fun. It would be interesting to see him interacting with these other characters in a new trilogy.

Other "scoops" on this website. Jennifer Lawrence is confirmed cast to play Sue Storm in an MCU Fantastic Four movie with John Kraniski in top running to be Reed Richards.
Zack Synder has been approached to make Ghost Rider reboot.
Hugh Jackman is going to be in Deadpool 3.
And other such "throw it at the wall see what's actually right" stories.
I actually would like a full trilogy of Holland's Peter playing off these versions of Kingpin, Punisher, and Daredevil. Together they might be the perfect ensemble.
In particular, Bernthal's Punisher might work best in the MCU as a secondary or tertiary protagonist. It's hard to make him the lead without going extremely dark. His Punisher is REALLY fucking punished. He'd be good as a dark and threatening element others have to deal with however.
Based on Feige's past remarks, it does sound like they'd treat the Netflix shows like The Incredible Hulk. "Mythos" canon, informing the characters, but details open to revision as needed.

Yeah but that's just your opinion. Whats mediocre to you could be amazing to someone else and vice versa.
Please please.
I was also actually never a fan of the show myself, and I thought the first season in particular was largely overrated and a major case of a whole being far lesser than the sum of its parts. However I always thought Ritter's performance was more a consequence of the show's bad writing and plotting than anything else, the intended tragic "shuts the world out and keeps screwing herself for it" angle getting stretched so thin that she comes off as idiotically insufferable. I thought she was a lot better in the more focused Defenders, and I'd hope that in the MCU proper's more clearly focused stories that she'd do better.
Regardless of the rumor I imagine there's a pile of "keeps" and "don't keeps" for all the non-Marvel Studios actors, those that are worth bringing them back to reprise and those that can be swiftly recast. And it wouldn't surprise me in general if Ritter was in the former and Colter and Jones were in the latter.
(The Jessica Jones series is also probably a better candidate for wanting a stronger reboot overall, chiefly because of what it did to Patsy Walker/Hellcat. 😬)
I initially read this as Kingpin and Daredevil being in college like it was going to be a damn CW show.
So this is the 2nd or 3rd "leak" about DD. Please be real!
And if Kingpin is in, it must be D'Onofrio.

My guess is Google recommendations. Until I completely scoured through and did and lot of "uninterested" and "hide" on a lot of topics and websites I would get things like We Got this Covered and Cosmicbooknews all the time.
Desperately hoping for this to be true. I absolutely love Daredevil and wanna see him hang around for MCU.
This is really intriguing to think about.
the difference in tone between , say Far From Home, and Daredevil season 2 seems impossible to mitigate. But man it would be cool to see the kid up against some folks Who give no fucks, like King Pin and Punisher.

As much as I'd love for these rumors to be true, I'm pretty dubious on this source. But I DO really hope the Netflix actors get to keep showing up in new movies and shows. I know the characters were left in complicated places at the end of their series, but that was before Infinity War and a five-year time jump that can easily serve as a reset. Like Luke is running Harlem, gets blipped, comes back and there's a new boss in town and he needs to clean up again. Easy peasy. Also I'd love to see Shang Chi clowning on Danny at some point, lol
I'm sad to hear about Luke Cage getting recast (didn't care for Iron Fist so no sweat there), but DAMN am I excited that the rumors are that they are keeping the original actors for Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and (especially) Punisher. Jon is SUCH a good Punisher, I would hate to see him recast.
Didn't the actor post some questionable shit about Trump or "both sides" or what not? It's been ages but i remember it was a pretty bad take and might have cost him future work.
Ariana Grande got groped one time, and he made a joke about it.

Mike Colter said sorry for appearing to make light of the incident.
