Could The Punisher also be returning to TV?
Making an appearance at the C2E2 convention in Chicago, Rosario Dawson, who appeared in many of the Marvel Netflix shows, says that she found out “yesterday” that The Punisher is happening again, and she put it out into the world that she’d like to appear on it, as she had not been able to work on that show before despite her love for Jon Bernthal who played Frank Castle.
It’s possible Dawson slipped or read some false information from a giant freaking robot that has this covered or something, but if it was a slip, and the Marvel snipers didn’t get her, this could be big news for fans of Marvel’s premier gun-toting vigilante.
UPDATE: It seems Rosario Dawson was duped by a fake article by the always-unreliable Giant Freaking Robot. Shocking. (Not really, but sad that she, too, was a victim of their nonsense.) This morning she tweeted the following. Now, some may say “Kevin Feige got to her!” but we’re thinking that the believing a fake story thing is a whole lot more likely… and then again, when and if a Punisher continuation does happen, GFRobot will credit their “trusted and reliable sources” when it’s really “throw crap at the wall and see what sticks.”
“I can’t be trusted…! Getting intel from fans during signings is iffy apparently. My bad. I get excited. Confirmation is key when you’re told what you want to hear…”
