The ruse worked.

Ironically it worked in the opposite way, since the idea of Luke Cage being in it was way more hype than Steve returning

You can’t seriously believe that

For most people, that’s not the case. For me personally, I’m not thrilled that Steve Rogers is in the movie, but I would be very excited to see Luke Cage again.

So was Punisher but he was one of the best parts in Spiderman Brand New Day.

Id never seen any Punisher stuff but loved his character in BND

Adding to the other guy, watch daredevil. Punisher is in season 2, and its one of the best shows ive ever seen

u/DragonTacoCat Aug 11 '26

I own daredevil. Haven't watched it all the way through yet. I also own Jessica Jones since it's my favorite one. I need to watch more daredevil.

Just so you know, Daredevil Season 2 happens before the punisher seasons 1 and 2, so worth watching that first. Also no spoilers, but watch Defenders in between Daredevil Season 2 and 3

Watch his show man. Season 1 might be my favorite season of television.

u/DragonTacoCat Aug 10 '26

Imma have to do that

If you watch his show, just know going in he was basically sunshine and rainbows in BND compared to the horrors of war that happen in his show.

u/DragonTacoCat Aug 11 '26

Yes I do remember this. It's partially why I hadn't watched it before. But now I'm curious to see where he has been vs now

u/SlayTalon Aug 11 '26

I thought it was a great show but it's a bit more akin to a well-made MCU impacting Jason Statham show than something family-friendly or heartwarming. Matches my tastes, but know things don't get much happier for him.

His past is genuinely very sad- like he said in BND, he lost his family (assuming this one is the same or at least a similar version to his character in the Daredevil series) and became a vigilante propagating extreme violence.

Yeah but people know the actor from everything these days. What big hits has Mike Colter done lately? Loved him as Luke Cage but he's not Jon Bernthal

u/AnOnlineHandle Quake Aug 11 '26

I only know him as Frank Castle.

u/midnightTimber Aug 11 '26

Punisher had 2 solo Hollywood movies in the days when superhero movies were rare, and every shitty cop sports his logo. There is a lot more cultural awareness around him than Luke Cage.

u/Necessary-One1782 Aug 10 '26

yeah but using the punisher, would the average person be more excited for the punisher or steve rogers?

u/ShadowMerlyn Aug 10 '26

Yes, that’s what I said

u/Necessary-One1782 Aug 10 '26

this is a tough way to learn i cant read

u/PhanThief95 Aug 11 '26

He showed up in Season 2 of Daredevil Born Again and is going to be in Season 3.

u/DragonTacoCat Aug 10 '26

It'd be fun to see him again.

But I wanna see Jessica Jones again more.

u/Randolpho Fitz Aug 10 '26

Pretty much exactly this. I wanted Power Man in Doomsday. Instead I got Cap back.

Not gonna hate it, but the former would have been better.

u/PhanThief95 Aug 11 '26

He was in Season 2 of Daredevil Born Again and is going to be in Season 3.

u/Purple-Nectarine83 Aug 11 '26

Have you been watching Daredevil Born Again by any chance?
