The Punisher Is Rumored To Get A Sidekick In Spider-Man: Brand New Day And I’m Hoping It’s A Character The Netflix Show

by

The Marvel universe consistently excites fans by regularly releasing new movies in theaters and on Disney+. One of the most eagerly awaited upcoming Marvel films is “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” set to introduce Jon Bernthal’s Punisher from television to film for the first time. There have been whispers about this movie suggesting that he may gain a partner, and I sincerely hope this could lead to the reintroduction of a character from his previous Netflix show.

The information available on Spider-Man: Brand New Day is quite scarce, but fans who have been following Marvel movies for years are excited about the appearance of Frank Castle/The Punisher. A daring speculation by scooper MTTSH (via SuperheroHype) hints at an intriguing possibility in the upcoming movie, suggesting:

Brand New Day details being few and far between, fans who’ve kept up with Marvel movies are overjoyed about The Punisher/Frank Castle’s appearance. A bold forecast by MTTSH (via SuperheroHype) points towards a striking revelation in the blockbuster, proposing:

In the storyline “Brand New Day” for Spider-Man, the Punisher is working alongside a female companion, both of them on a mission to apprehend and eliminate criminals. As they are currently filming, these action sequences involve high-intensity chases and attempts to capture or eliminate villains associated with Spider-Man.

Although I take this with a pinch of skepticism, reading this instantly reminded me of one character: Giorgia Whigham’s Amy Bendix from Season 2 of The Punisher. Caught up in Frank Castle’s drama unwittingly, the two developed a powerful connection. After their dealings concluded, they parted ways. However, isn’t it intriguing to imagine that Amy might reappear to lend her support to the solitary vigilante and antihero when he finds himself in need?

It’s still uncertain whether the rumored addition of a sidekick will actually happen. Even if it does, casting Whigham as Amy again could be pushing boundaries. However, as time passes, there seems to be an increasing number of links between Marvel’s Netflix shows and the MCU.

Disney+ offers a wide variety of Marvel Cinematic Universe content, including shows previously available on Netflix such as “The Punisher.” Starting prices for its ad-supported plan are at $9.99 per month, while the ad-free option costs $15.99 monthly or $159.99 annually, providing a 16% discount.

Here’s an interesting thought – connecting all these Netflix Marvel shows from the past could excite fans who followed them back when they were on Netflix before Disney+ came along. Shows like Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, and The Punisher were produced by Netflix as part of their shared universe. Now, with projects like Daredevil: Born Again, we’re seeing these shows intersecting with current projects. For instance, the first season of Daredevil: Born Again featured The Punisher, and it has already been confirmed that the second season will bring back Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones.

In the second season of “The Punisher,” Amy, a con artist, encounters a series of deadly circumstances after accepting a particularly risky job. This leads to her crew being brutally murdered. By happenstance, she crosses paths with Frank Castle, and together they embark on a violent odyssey marked by mystery, manipulation, and eventually trust. Both characters make it through the season’s events, and if there had been a third season, their adventures would likely have continued.

Time alone can uncover if Frank Castle has a partner, and it could very well be Amy. The truth will emerge when the film Spider-Man: Brand New Day premieres in theaters on July 31st of the next year, which is part of the 2026 movie schedule. In the meantime, you can catch Bernthal’s time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Disney+ streaming service.
