Daredevil: Born Again
Warning ! This mail contain spoiler for Daredevil : bear Again Episode 8I’m pretty confident I know whichDaredevil : comport Againcharacter could become the perfect challenger inThe Punisher’supcomingMCUspecial . AsDaredevil : Born Againreaches the close of its first season , it ’s expected that Jon Bernthal ’s Frank Castle will reunite with Matt Murdock for the finale episode . Keeping that in mind , I do think the finis will help set the degree for the upcoming Punisher serial publication and its potential opponent .
Announced at the beginning of 2025 , just ahead ofDaredevil : Born Again’spremiere episode in March , it was confirmed thatThe Punisher will be getting his own MCU Special Presentation , not unlike Marvel’sEchoseries , which was release in 2024 . It was also confirmed that Jon Bernthal himself will be co - writing the special , presumably spin out from his appearances inDardevil : Born Againseason 1.Keeping that in mind , I think Frank Castle ’s Punisher is about to get an all - new nemesis followingDaredevil : bear Again’sfinale .
Cole North Is Taking A Lot Of The AVTF’s Spotlight in Daredevil: Born Again
I’m Not Surprised, Considering North’s Marvel Comics History
Officially created by Mayor Fisk to deal with the serial - killing artist known as Muse inDaredevil : assume Againepisode 6 , the Anti - Vigilante Task Force has now been deployed in full force . Not having to answer to anyone other than Fisk himself and allow to operate freely using uttermost preconception , the AVTF is made up of tainted and aggressive NYPD officers and detective who hero-worship Frank Castle ’s Punisher . alike , many of these cops have co - prefer the Punisher ’s skull logo , stage their willingness to practice whatever mean necessary in the name of " justice " .
keep that in psyche , one of the AVTF officeholder with a large spotlight is Detective Cole North ( Jeremy Isaiah Earl ) . evidence by Mayor Fisk ’s side at the Black and White Ball inDaredevil : Born Againepisode 8 , North was also falsely founder public credit by Fisk for the murder of Muse inDaredevil : Born Againepisode 7 . This makes signified , considering Cole North ’s history in the cartoon strip as a detectivewho started his journey in a similar fashion , going after vigilante and make trouble for both Daredevil and Spider - Man . He ’s also had conflict with The Punisher in the comics as well .
I’m Confident North Killed White Tiger And Took The Punisher’s Logo
Going After Vigilantes Before The Task Force Was Even Made
Interestingly enough , Cole North has yet to be establish without a Punisher logo tattoo like many of his fellow officers . This feel designed , especially because we still do n’t knowwho it was that posed as The Punisher and obliterate White Tiger inDaredevil : Born Againepisode 3.I’m willing to look Cole North was Hector Ayala ’s orca , having spray - painted a white skull on a unshakable vest just like Frank Castle himself .
Daredevil : Born Again sequence 8 sets the stage for an epic MCU conclusion , featuring multiple MCU Easter eggs and references to the original Netflix show .
Regardless if the killer is discover to be Cole North , what ’s going to be interesting is learning whether the smash was put out by Mayor Fisk before the official constitution of his undertaking force or if the execution was carried out independently . Either agency , the possible reveal that North vote out White Tiger while dressed as the Punisher could put him right in the crosshairs of Frank Castle , not to cite Daredevil himself . After all , Punisher made it clean inDaredevil : Born Againepisode 4that he has no love for his " bulls * * * fanboys . "

I ask Cole North to be featured inDaredevil : Born Again’sfinale installment , presumptively as the ATVF belt along temerarious ( and likely Punisher ) to get their manpower on Bullseye . arrogate North survives the ordeal , I could easily see Mayor Fisk put him to go after down the Punisher in the wake ofDaredevil : pay Againseason 1 , localize for the upcomingPunisherSpecial Presentation . It would certainly mirror how Fisk assigned North to get over down and arrest various New York vigilance man like Spider - Man . The opportunity to see The Punisher skirmish with an impostor and effectively domesticate his skull does have some exciting potential for the MCU .
madcap : Born Again’sfinale premieres April 15th on Disney+ , whileThe Punisherspecial releases in 2026 .
