Marvel's upcoming Punisher special takes place "before and during" the events of Daredevil: Born Again season 2, says showrunner

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 showrunner Dario Scardapane has finally confirmed where Punisher: One Last Kill fits into the MCU timeline.

"I don’t know a ton about what goes on in Brand New Day, and I know very well where we left him at the end of Punisher Season 2," Scardapane told Variety. "I think this tells the story of what happened next after Punisher and before and during the events of [Born Again] Season 2."

Some fans (hi, me) were pretty upset that Frank Castle was absent from Daredevil: Born Again season 2, but it was for two pretty valid reasons: 1) this special, and 2) the fact that he's set to play a major part in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. We can infer that whatever happened during these aforementioned events will most likely explain how Frank gets mixed up with Spidey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Truthfully, I'm just stoked to hear him call Spidey "Red" as he does in the comics.

The official, albeit cryptic, logline for the upcoming special is as follows: "Frank Castle tries to live a life without the need for revenge, only to be drawn into an unexpected conflict." The cast includes Jason R. Moore as Curtis Hoyle (reprising his role from Netflix's Punisher series), Roe Rancell as Dennis, and Mila Jaymes as Charli.

The Punisher: One Last Kill is set to hit Disney Plus on May 12. Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31. For more, stay up to date on all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows that are currently in the works.
