It’s a pretty big weekend for comic book fans, because “Justice League” finally hit theaters after a long wait, and “The Punisher” finally debuted on Netflix.
“The Punisher” is without a doubt Marvel’s most violent series yet, and Jon Bernthal is receiving a lot of praise for his portrayal of Frank Castle. So far all of the Marvel shows on Netflix have been picked up for more than one season, with the exception of “The Defenders” and now fans are wondering if “The Punisher” will be returning for season 2.
Showrunner Steve Lightfoot was recently asked about a possible second season during an interview with EW, and he said that he honestly doesn’t know what the future holds at this point in.
“No, I genuinely don’t know how the Netflix system works with making those calls, and I assume once they do [make a call] they’ll tell Marvel and Marvel will tell me and we’ll jump back to it. But I’m very excited to do so. I think we left both Frank and Billy in places where there are so many ways to jump off from if that second season comes. We can do anything with them, in truth.”
Right now it seems that the future is in flux for the Netflix corner of the MCU, as Disney has announced that they’ll be launching their own streaming service in 2019, and all Marvel shows are expected to be pulled from Netflix. So we’ll just have to wait and see how the TV shows continue to develop.
