The Punisher has arrived. But, Frank Castle is in quite a different state than we last saw him. We’ll get to that later; first, preparations for what’s next on Daredevil: Born Again.
Disney+ is dropping episodes of Daredevil: Born Again at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesdays. After dropping the first two episodes together, the third and fourth received solo releases. However, the fifth and sixth episodes of Daredevil: Born Again will be dropped on the same night: Tuesday, March 25 at 9 p.m. ET.
Timing notes
Episode 4 of Daredevil: Born Again clocked in at 54:01, making it the second-longest episode of the series to this point. More importantly, it’s displaying the show’s consistency in terms of episode length — making it easier to plan accordingly.
After the first episode of the series was just over 60 minutes, the following three have each been between 45 and 55 minutes long.
Cast notes
(Warning: Spoilers for episode 4 of Daredevil: Born Again ahead.)
- Punisher has arrived on the scene and confirmed our suspicions. He is in no way affiliated with people who’ve tattooed his symbol on their body. The individual who took out White Tiger was not Castle, despite the assailant’s attire bearing a stark resemblance to what we saw in the Netflix series. The question now: Will The Punisher do something about this? Which, quite honestly, wouldn’t normally be the question with him. It’d instead be “What will The Punisher do about this?” Castle is in a much different state than we’ve ever seen in live action, and there’s a reasonable chance he doesn’t get involved in the manner he normally would.
- Kingpin is about to snap. Between the marriage issues and political occasions he deems frivolous, then blossoming issues with the press and White Tiger walking free, he’s feeling a deep loss of control. Wilson Fisk will not put up with this much longer — especially if a certain rival steps back into the limelight.
- Daredevil is back. Much like Fisk, Matt Murdock has been going through a lot emotionally. When he jumps back into the mix as The Man Without Fear, chaos will reign supreme.
