Marvel CCO: “Sparks will fly” between Daredevil and Punisher in Season 2

It was recently announced that Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead’s Shane) was cast as the Punisher for Season 2 of Daredevil, and given how big of a character he is in his own right, we wanted to know how Marvel plans on balancing screen time between the two characters.

“That’s why we pay our amazing Writers Room the big bucks,” Quesada joked. “Doug Petrie and Mark Ramirez, the co-showrunners, have concocted an amazing series, an amazing season this year and believe me, sparks will fly and it’s going to be pretty phenomenal.”

“We’re so happy to have Jon Bernthal because we have such a world-class cast on Daredevil; we have a world-class actor in Charlie Cox that we want to make sure we chose and were able to attain an actor who is on that same level so I think the combination of seeing Charlie and John perform those parts on the same screen. It’s going to be epic, absolutely epic.”
