The Punisheris going to be the next Marvel show to make its debut on Netflix, but when are we going to be able to binge it? Marvel and Netflix have waited until they felt the time is right to reveal release dates for their shows so far, but they have been particularly cagey withThe Punisher Season 1. But now we may finally know when the show is set to arrive on Netflix, and it is surprisingly soon.
The news comes courtesy ofReddit, and that usually can be cause for reasonable doubt, but this actually seems pretty solid. A Reddit user by the name of Graeme12895 posted a page to the Marvel Studios Reddit from the latest issue of Total Film Magazine. The issue has a section dedicated toThe Punisherseason 1 and, at the very bottom of the page that was posted to Reddit, we see that the show is set to arrive onFriday, October 13. That means we are supposedly going to see the show arrive in just three weeks.
To further fuel the fire that this news is legitimate, another image from the new issue of Total Film arrived online, showcasing the full magazine spread, as opposed to just the zoomed in image showing the release date. Someone would have really had to go out of their way to fake these pages, so more than likely, we’re going to seeThe Punishervery soon. Considering that Netflix just released the first full trailer for the show recently, that seems to make sense. We already know all of the episode titles, so it’s about time we know when the show is coming out.
No official synopsis forThe Punisherhas been revealed yet, but the main thread is going to beJon Bernthal as Frank Castleon a warpath seeking revenge. The recently released trailer was ultra-violent and is easily going to be themost hardcore thing that Marvel has ever released. Not that Frank Castle’s turn inDaredevilseason 2 wasn’t violent, but this looks like it’s going to be on another level. There’s definitely someJohn Wickvibes going on. We may never see an R-rated Marvel Studios movie, butMarvel TVisn’t shy about bringing the blood. If there’s any character in Marvel’s catalog that deserves a live-action adaptation this violent, it’sThe Punisher.
IfThe Punisheris indeed coming in just three weeks, we can probably expect to see the marketing campaign ramping up in a big way. We also may see some of the first critical reactions to the series sooner rather than later as well, which will help tell us if this is the nextDaredevil, or if it’s going to be a disappointment on the level ofIron Fist. We’ll know soon enough. For now, you can check out the leaked magazine pages from Total Film for yourself below.
