Daredevil: Born Again Showrunner Addresses That Punisher Post-Credits Scene And Whether Jon Bernthal Will Return In Season 2

As a diehard fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about Dario Scardapane’s recent revelations regarding the post-credits scene of “Daredevil: Born Again” and its potential impact on Jon Bernthal’s iconic character, The Punisher. In the thrilling season finale, Mayor Wilson Fisk manages to seize control of the city under a city-wide blackout. However, in a twist that has left us eagerly anticipating more, The Punisher makes a daring break for freedom from Fisk’s illegal prison in the post-credits scene of “Daredevil: Born Again”. This audacious escape attempt could pave the way for The Punisher’s standalone MCU spinoff, which is slated to be a Special Presentation rather than a conventional series. It’s an intriguing development that has left us movie buffs on the edge of our seats!

In a conversation with EW, the showrunner of Daredevil: Born Again, Dario Scardapane, clarifies that Frank Castle’s escape attempt was not meant as a hint for a Punisher spinoff. Instead, Scardapane reveals that the intention behind the post-credits scene in Daredevil: Born Again was to underscore the fact that “Frank won’t be kept imprisoned for much longer.” For more insights from Scardapane, check out his full comments below.

The decision wasn’t made lightly. It was part of a broader Marvel concept regarding Jon, the Punisher. Instead of keeping him isolated on an island, we wanted to suggest that his confinement wouldn’t last forever. So, we brought him into the storyline of Daredevil, hinting at his imminent release. This plan emerged later in the creative process, but it quickly became evident that this was the best approach for both advancing the story of Daredevil and setting up what’s next for Frank and the Punisher.

As a film enthusiast, I was asked if the post-credits scene in “Daredevil: Born Again” could be seen as a confirmation that Jon Bernthal’s Punisher would reappear in season 2. Dario Scardapane responded by saying the scene “directly ties into” Marvel Studios’ upcoming Punisher Special Presentation. However, when pressed for details about the Punisher’s spinoff, Scardapane remained tight-lipped, leaving us eagerly anticipating more information about this potential return.

I’m not sure. However, it seems reasonable for viewers to presume that the post-credits scene sets the stage for the upcoming Punisher special.
