    After Bernthal killed it in season 2 I figured it was inevitable, but I didn't think it would be this soon. Looks like the first season will be prior to the team-up Defenders as well.

    [Edit: I misread that, it sounds like he may join up with the others on Defenders before his solo show]

    Showrunner will be Steve Lightfoot from Hannibal.

    Sweet. I hope they have a good story though and aren't just pumping this out because people liked him in Daredevil.

    Pretty excited for this. Punisher is one of my favorite comic book characters and I really like the actor and character in DD.

    Thought this would happen. Bernthal's performance on Daredevil demanded it.

    With a Punisher series in the works and if Luke Cage is a hit like DD and JJ, I wonder if that would push Netflix past their limit of two Marvel series' per year.

    Still think they need to do Spider-man as a Netflix series instead of keeping him in films - would be a nice bridge between the Netflix stuff and Hollywood.

    a) not going to happen. that's probably the least likely marvel superhero to end up on netflix right next to hulk and the x-men.
    b) it would suck. spiderman needs a budget, you can't do the character justice without some cgi going honestly.

    Hard to say, he did say he was going to go after Kingpin. I think that would step on DDs toes a bit though. Who knows?

    IMO, Punisher going after Kingpin would be epic, maybe even better than DD vs. Kingpin.

    Yeah, but how do you end that really? You can't / shouldn't kill off Kingpin, he's one of the only great villains Marvel has going right now. Especially with Kilgrave biting it in Jessica Jones.

    If Punisher is after you, either you're dying or he is. I don't know how you could make that a stalemate. Would definitely be fun though.

    Marvel/Netflix plan three new series?

    Haven't read any of these characters comics, but I would leave out Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider seems mindless and one dimensional when in his fighting form (like Hulk) and that doesn't make for an interesting character.

    He only seems that way because you watched the Fox Ghost Rider movies, which were ****. Ghost Rider is actually a pretty cool character, and I think they could do him justice on Netflix.

    Blade is a no brainer, he's perfect for Netflix, and so is Moon Knight.

    It seems like Netflix is essentially a TV version of Marvel's Knights Comic series. They usually focused on the more violent, street level characters, like Daredevil, Elektra, Blade, etc.
    Seems like a great idea honestly.

    He's certainly not mindless, which is what you're getting at. Fox chose to portray him that way, along with a lot of other stupid things.

    There's many "Riders" if we're talking about Johnny Blaze (which is who most people think of when they're talking about Ghost Rider) -- he's actually a combination of Johnny Blaze and a demon named Zarathos. Occassionally Zarathos will exert control over Johnny and vice versa. In other words, the complete opposite of mindless.

    Snipes said he might be back, right? Ghost Rider I cant see working solo unless Marvel doesn't mind losing money first and seeing if it can win some footing. That seems like a lot of special FX money for a fringe-content Netflix show.

    Wouldn't Ghost Rider suffer from the same limitation as Spiderman? Doing the flaming head thing will HAVE to be CGI, which means money. Which means they will limit the time he is in that form. I've never read the comics but the fans will want him in that form as much as possible since that's when he is truly kicking ass.

    Definitely need to do Blade. And sign me up as someone else who would love to see Snipes back (and I'm sure his price tag wouldn't be very high).

    I don't know anything about Moon Knight.

    I've been wanting, for the longest time, to give ghost rider the justice he deserves. what they did to him in 2007 was unforgivable, classless and inhumane.
