The Punisher will make his MCU debut next year on Season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil and although Steven DeKnight won’t be running the show due to other commitments – he did talk about the character with Slash Film at the Television Critics Association Summer press tour:

“The thing about The Punisher, and I think there are great things about each of those versions, but none of them was completely the Marvel version. And none of those movies were under the Marvel Studios banner until they recently got The Punisher back. So this is really the first time that we’re seeing the Marvel Studios from the Iron Man days, when they can control their own product, actually do this character.”

He also went on to comment about how he didn’t think that this version of The Punisher would be anything like the version we saw in Punisher: War Zone:

“Doubtful, that was pretty violent. The first season of Daredevil was violent but I always say it was more implied. It wasn’t nearly as violent as The Walking Dead, a show that I love. On that, if somebody were to crush somebody’s head in a car door, you would’ve seen the head crush on screen but we didn’t want to go quite that far. We wanted to keep it right around PG-16 and not go all the way to the R. I have no idea if they’re planning to push it that far next season but I would be surprised.”
