Only he won’t do it as Daredevil, but instead he will defend Peter Parker in a courtroom.Īt the conclusion of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Mysterio’s last move before his death was to expose Peter as Spider-Man and frame him for the villain’s “murder.” The Netflix rumor gaining the most traction has been that Charlie Cox will once more step into the MCU. Toss in Norman Osborn in his Iron Patriot persona, and Armor Wars will suddenly become the can’t-miss show. Sure, the story will almost certainly be used as a platform to introduce Riri Williams to the MCU and establish her as Tony Stark’s successor ahead of her Ironheart Disney+ series, but that doesn’t mean Frank Castle can’t join the fun and give Rhodey and Riri a common frenemy to bring down. However unlikely as that may sound, it could work.
To have Bernthal suit up as War Machine would truly bring the war to Armor Wars. Personally, I would like a Garth Ennis-penned run of War Machine Punisher. As brief as the Punisher’s stint as War Machine was in the comics, it had a lasting impact, and fans have wanted more. If Marvel Studios wants a jaw-dropping moment that would erupt in cheers across the globe, this would be it. While he did not wield the armor for long, readers were treated to a few violent moments before the War Machine suit returned home. The Punisher then took up the suit and gave it his trademark skull. That issue began a story arc that saw Nick Fury lead Frank Castle - who was drawn to look suspiciously like Bernthal - to the War Machine armor. Earlier this year, when asked about the status of the Netflix characters, he told The Hollywood Reporter, “Everything is on the board.” Of course, that could mean anything, but it opened the door to a range of speculation. It took two years, but Feige vaguely addressed the situation. Meanwhile, Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios basically stayed mum on the subject, offering little insight into the characters’ futures. D'ONofrio went so far as to even start a petition to save Daredevil. Stars like Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Jon Bernthal made it public that they would be up for reprising their roles for Disney+. Now we are left to wonder if any of those properties will ever find their ways to Disney+.
The great iron wars series#
It was easy to assume that all these hit series would be on hiatus until Marvel Studios could bring them aboard Disney+. Naturally, fans assumed that these cancellations were only temporary since Disney+ would house all the Marvel properties. Beginning in late 2018 and into early 2019, the axe came down, and one by one, Netflix closed the doors on all its Marvel series.
Then came the news that Disney was starting its own streaming platform to compete with the likes of Netflix and Hulu, and we all knew the Defenders’ days were numbered. While they weren’t all critical darlings, the Marvel Netflix-verse appeared to be thriving and a hit with fans (although it is hard to say since Netflix does not release its viewership numbers, so nothing is official). Finally, the Punisher starred in his own solo series, which lasted into season two. Personally, I think the bloody prison fight scene with Frank murdering everyone in sight was the real Punisher fans had wanted for a long time.įollowing the success of DD came Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, who joined together Avengers-style to form the Defenders. The second season arguably surpassed the first, introducing what many felt was the best portrayal of Frank Castle to date. After Daredevil wowed audiences with a violent, gritty, and grounded story worthy of Frank Miller, the ball was rolling on Netflix. It came as a shock nearly three years ago when Netflix began cancelling all its Marvel series and apparently severed ties with the company, at least as far as original content was concerned.
With all those characters “on the board” and with Armor Wars, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Shang-Chi: the Legend of the Ten Rings on the horizon, there’s no better time than now to reintroduce some famous faces to the MCU. It’s been two years since we last saw the Marvel shows on Netflix, and we are tired of waiting. While you’re at it, give us back Daredevil in his cool black ninja suit from Season One, and toss in Kingpin for good measure.Īm I asking too much? I didn’t think so, either. He’s not the only Netflix character rumored to make a grand re-entrance into the MCU, either.īring back Jon Bernthal as the Punisher. Rumor has it that the Punisher could bring the war to Armor Wars and suit up as War Machine on Disney+.
