Joe Bernthal's return as "The Punisher" has also aroused heated discussions among many drama fans! Jon Bernthal said in a previous interview: "I think there's a reason why this character resonates so deeply and strongly with fans of the show and with Marvel fans.

I will do my best to make sure that everything is arranged properly and that if we are going to shoot it, it will look great.”
“Daredevil: Rebirth” has also been criticized by the Hollywood Writers Guild and Affected by the Actors Guild strike, it has experienced multiple production suspensions and creative reorganizations, and will only resume normal filming in January 2024. During this period, Marvel executives including Kevin Feige evaluated the previously filmed content and considered it "not feasible" and decided to make creative changes, shifting the focus from legal to action and violent tone. Only part of the original footage is retained and combined with the new plot. And all the previous leading screenwriters and directors were fired by Marvel! Therefore, the first season of "Daredevil: Rebirth" is no longer the originally announced 18 episodes, and the specific number of episodes has not yet been announced.
It is worth mentioning that the new generation of Marvel TV content starting from "WandaVision" has avoided traditional TV production methods. For example, instead of following the pilot episode model, it has been more hastily shot and produced with a production cost of more than 150 million US dollars. of the entire season. Instead of finding a showrunner, they rely on film executives to run the show, and just like Marvel makes movies, these shows also rely on post-production and reshoots to correct things that are wrong.
However, in the past two years, the TV content produced by Marvel has received a sharp decline in feedback from critics and audiences, forcing Marvel to make changes and produce series in a more traditional way.
In addition, the Netflix version of " Daredevil " is almost the "ceiling" of superhero dramas in terms of reputation and popularity. It seems that as long as Marvel follows the original production methods and maintains the original style, they can change the dilemma of poor series!
"Daredevil: Rebirth" is expected to premiere at the end of this year or early next year, and we look forward to an early release!
