THE PUNISHER Showrunner Wants To Bring Kingpin Into Season 3
While we all hope that Marvel’s The Punisher doesn’t get canceled, we all know it’s going to happen. That doesn’t keep the creative team from thinking about what they want to do with Season 3. Just in case, they do have a story in mind that they would like to role forward with. Now we know that story would involve Wilson Fisk a.k.a. Kingpin.
While talking to CB, showrunner and executive producer Steve Lightfoot explained:
"I think if it were for the show, if it were for Punisher, I would love to get into some of that material between The Punisher and Kingpin. And that's partly selfish because I love what Daredevil has done with Vincent D'Onofrio, and I would love to work with him, and I think we have some great source material from the two of them going at it."
Seeing Kingpin brought into the third season of The Punisher would be pretty awesome. There really is some great material to pull from for these characters. The two previously already met up in Daredevil Season 2, but there’s still so much story to tell with them! The report suggests that maybe we could see Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) trying to right his wrongs from his past dealings with the Kingpin of New York City.
Will they get a chance to tell this story? Probably not, but at least the creative team isn’t giving up hope yet.
