The Marvel Cinematic Universe retains the fandom on their collective toes, due to new releases hitting theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. One of the vital extremely anticipated upcoming Marvel motion pictures is Spider-Man: Model New Day, which can characteristic Jon Bernthal’s Punisher within the character’s first soar from TV to movie. A rumor concerning the film claimed that he is even getting a sidekick, and I actually hope this might imply the return of a personality from his Netflix collection.
What we find out about Spider-Man: Model New Day is tremendous restricted, however followers who spent years watching the Marvel motion pictures so as are thrilled concerning the inclusion of Frank Citadel/The Punisher. A rumor from scooper MTTSH (through SuperheroHype) made a daring prediction concerning the blockbuster, claiming:
In Spider-Man Model New Day, Punisher has a feminine accomplice to assist him observe and kill criminals. They’re now filming enormous motion scenes with the 2 of them chasing and attempting to kill Spider-Man villains.
Whereas I am taking this with a grain of salt, studying this introduced me instantly again to 1 character: Giorgia Whigham’s Amy Bendix from The Punisher Season 2. She unintentionally obtained herself concerned with the drama surrounding Frank Citadel, and the 2 managed to type a powerful bond. With their enterprise finished they went separate methods, however would not it’s cool if Amy returned to assist the vigilante antihero when he wants it?
Clearly we do not even know if the rumor a couple of sidekick will come to fruition simply but. And even whether it is, bringing again Whigham as Amy may be a stretch. However we’re solely getting extra connections to the Netflix exhibits within the MCU as years go by.
It is simply an concept, however this could be an exhilarating connection for followers who watched all of former Netflix MCU exhibits. Earlier than Disney+ was established Netflix produced exhibits set within the shared universe: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, and The Punisher. We’re getting extra of those crossing over with present tasks just lately, due to tasks like Daredevil: Born Once more. Its first season included Punisher, and the second has already been confirmed to convey again Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones.
In The Punisher Season 2, Amy is a grifter who finds her crew murdered after taking over a very harmful job. She runs into Frank Citadel accidentally, and the 2 find yourself taking a bloody journey of discovery, deception, and finally belief. They each survive the occasions of the season, and I assume they might have had extra adventures if a 3rd season occurred.
Solely time will inform if Frank Citadel has an affiliate, and whether or not or not it is Amy. All shall be revealed when Spider-Man: Model New Day hits theaters on July thirty first of subsequent yr as a part of the 2026 film launch checklist. For now, Bernthal’s tenure within the MCU is streaming on Disney+.
