Arriving before December
With The Defenders not gaining praise like Netflix would like, their biggest Marvel release of the year has unfortunately been hit with a delay. In wake of the Las Vegas shootings from last week, Netflix has officially decided to put the series premiere and roll-out for The Punisher on hold.
The show was set for a big reveal this weekend at NY Comic-Con, which we would’ve seen an announcement. But now, it looks like a premiere for later in the fall is likely to happen, possibly late November. Through various outlets, it was also hinted that Netflix originally planned surprise drop this weekend, as Marvel also had a simultaneous Paris event that would’ve taken place on Saturday.
Look for the streaming giant to share details on the solo Frank Castle story later this year.
Have heard: Netflix will delay mid-Oct. launch of #ThePunisher (which also dropped out of #NYCC) until late fall, citing Las Vegas massacre.
