The cancellation of Netflix’s Daredevil was truly one of the most devastating news that Marvel fans ever heard, and they were all pretty mad about it too. But we’re back on track on the Daredevil train yet again with the series getting a new reboot, all thanks to Disney.
Daredevil: Born Again is the latest live-adaption of the comic book character and has also been confirmed to be a reboot of the Netflix version. The show will also be the eleventh installment of Phase Five for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And it has been freshly reported that the upcoming TV series will also feature a fan-favorite character from the Drew Goddard version from 2015.
Daredevil: Born Again Rumored To Have A Punisher Return
Daredevil: Born Again is going to be a treat for fans of the Netflix version as the show is set to include a record-breaking eighteen episodes in its very first season! That’s a lot of hours to keep you glued to the screen.
But that’s not the only thing that’s keeping fans excited, the return of Charlie Cox‘s Matt Murdock show has also been rumored to feature a return for Jon Bernthal’s Punisher.
Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones was reported to be returning for a Defenders reunion with Cox’s Matt Murdock on another Marvel TV series called Echo. This led many to speculate that the two Defenders were also going to share the same screen in the upcoming Daredevil reboot as well.

These reports, however, are being dismissed by new ones suggesting the return of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, who already made an appearance in the Netflix version.
The Geeks Worldwide’s KC Walsh, an entertainment scooper, made a post on their Twitter account saying that Jessica Jones’ slot is going to get replaced due to a scheduling conflict-
I know I was in denial about this but it sounds like another popular character will show up as well due to a scheduling conflict as it appears they will take the rumored role Jessica Jones had https://t.co/MIjs4YAyFc

This tweet was followed up by another tweet from Cape Time podcast host Tom Smith, who was pretty adamant about Bernthal’s return-
Basically Born Again is re-introducing the Netflix characters to the mainstream and they planned to bring in Ritter but there’s a scheduling problem for Born Again. So they needed another Netflix star to fill the role. It’s Jon Bernthal. Wouldn’t be shocked if Ritter cameos tho https://t.co/7OKGnij13Z pic.twitter.com/u2oJnKbmS4

It does look like Marvel is re-introducing the characters from the Netflix version, with Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin also slated for a comeback. No complaints from our side!

Fans Are Divided On This Daredevil Rumor – Jessica Jones or Punisher?
Marvel fans cannot decide at all about who they want more on the Daredevil reboot, and it’s got to be either Jessica Jones or Punisher.
The Jessica Jones TV series got some pretty rave reviews from critics after it was released in 2015. On the other hand, the Punisher was a fan-favorite character in Daredevil season two, with Punisher’s argument with Murdock in episode three being forever engraved in Marvel TV history as one of the most iconic scenes ever.
Here’s Twitter going crazy about the replacement of Jones with the Punisher, and they can not choose! –
This user hates Krysten Ritter’s character-
Good. Jessica Jones was horrible. The actress, the wardrobe choices, the horrible fake drunk she did. Urgh… why did she have make up if she didn't care ? She hated people but always helped? Ion get it… trash writing, they need better female writers.

Bernthal’s return as the Punisher would do wonders for the Daredevil reboot, but it’s important to not forget that his return is simply a rumor for now, and Jessica Jones still has her place in the TV series.
