In the season itself, we see this scene unfold, whereThe Punisherhas chained upDaredeviland given him a gun with the ultimatum that he must kill someone, with some of the exact lines of dialogue pulled directly from the comic itself. There are also references to a comic arc entitledThe People Vs. Frank Castle, which leads to a prison fight between The Punisher and Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio).
There are also some connections to theMarvel Cinematic Universe, such as the Dogs of Hell fromMarvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and a number of references to the Battle of New York inMarvel’s The Avengers. There is even a reference to the 2008 movieThe Incredible Hulk, where the Green Goliath, played byEdward Norton, destroyed Harlem. We don’t see any actual existing characters from the MCU in this season, but it’s certainly possible if another season is ordered by Netflix.
Just when Matt thinks he is bringing order back to the city, new forces are rising in Hell’s Kitchen. Now the Man Without Fear must take on a new adversary in Frank Castle and face an old flame - Elektra Natchios (Elodie Yung). Bigger problems emerge when Frank Castle, a man looking for vengeance, is reborn as The Punisher, a man who takes justice into his own hands in Matt’s neighborhood.
