One Violent Marvel Fight Is Way Too Gross For The MCU

While there hasn’t been any indication that Wolverine and Punisher will be doing battle in live-action, either as allies or enemies, the stage is already somewhat set for the two characters to meet in the MCU.

Hugh Jackman will be making his long-awaited return as the berserk mutant in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which is also in a position to introduce several recently acquired properties into Disney’s sprawling cinematic universe. This includes the Netflix Marvel series “Daredevil, “Jessica Jones,” “Luke Cage,” “Iron Fist,” “The Defenders,” and, most crucially, “The Punisher.” 

Jon Bernthal made his debut as Frank Castle in “Daredevil” Season 2 before leading his own solo series for two seasons. Since Charlie Cox has already reprised his Netflix role as Matt Murdock in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “She-Hulk,” it could be argued that Bernthal’s take on the character is already in MCU canon. With Beranthal poised to return as the Punisher, and now that Wolverine is officially part of the franchise, the pieces are in place for a brawl between two of Marvel’s most brutal characters. But whether they ever meet or not, while Marvel Studios is finally exploring R-rated offerings, it’s unlikely that anything as gruesome as the fight that happened in these books will ever make it to the big screen.
