Netflix’s “Daredevil” Trailer Brings THE PUNISHER!
Today, Netflix released part 1 of the trailer for the highly anticipated second season of the Netflix original series Marvel’s “Daredevil,” which premieres globally on Friday, March 18, 2016 at 12:01am PT.
While season 1 of Marvel’s “Daredevil,” which is now streaming, was about Matt Murdock’s decision to become a hero and take on the role of Daredevil, season two revolves around the question, when does right become wrong? The show continues to explore the philosophical conflict at the core of Matt’s double lives, now complicated by a vigilante rival, Frank Castle, who takes things too far.
I know it’s not popular opinion here on Bloody, but I really did not enjoy the first couple seasons of “The Walking Dead.” In fact, the only thing I liked about it was Jon Bernthal’s intense performance that brought constant dread and tension to the otherwise less-than-threatening series (maybe things have changed since then?). He is the perfect casting as the new Punisher and cannot be more excited for the next season of “Daredevil”. What do you guys think?
“Blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) fights against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the superhero Daredevil in modern day Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.”
Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock/Daredevil) is joined by a stellar cast including Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle/The Punisher), Elodie Yung (Elektra), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), Rosario Dawson (Claire Temple), and Scott Glenn (Stick).
Marvel’s “Daredevil” is Executive Produced by series Co-Showrunners Marco Ramirez (“Sons Of Anarchy, Fear The Walking Dead”) and Douglas Petrie (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, American Horror Story”), along with Jeph Loeb (“Marvel’s Jessica Jones”), who also serves as Marvel’s Head of Television.
The action-drama will premiere with thirteen (“13”) one-hour episodes.

‘Witchblade’ is Getting Resurrected This Summer in New Comic Series from Top Cow and Image Comics
Witchblade, the popular comic series that initially ran from 1995 to 2015 and launched a TV series, is getting resurrected in a new comic series from Top Cow and Image Comics. It’s set to unleash heavy metal, black magic and blood this summer.
Look for the new Witchblade series to launch on July 17, 2024.
In Witchblade #1, “New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life was forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power, or will she be consumed by it?”
The series is penned by NYT Best-Selling writer Marguerite Bennett (Animosity, Batwoman, DC Bombshells) and visualized by artist Giuseppe Cafaro (Suicide Squad, Power Rangers, Red Sonja). The creative duo is working with original co-creator Marc Silvestri, who is the CEO of Top Cow Productions Inc. and one of the founders of Image Comics. They are set to reintroduce the series to Witchblade’s enduring fans with “a reimagined origin with contemporary takes on familiar characters and new story arcs that will hook new readers and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the 90’s Image Revolution that shaped generations of top creators.”
Bennett said in a statement, “The ability to tell a ferocious story full of monsters, sexuality, vision, and history was irresistible.” She adds, “Our saga is sleek, vicious, ferocious, and has a lot to say about power in the 21st century and will be the first time that we are stopping the roller coaster to let more people on. I’ve loved Witchblade since I was a child, and there is truly no other heroine like Sara with such an iconic legacy and such a rich, brutal relationship to her own body.”
“The Witchblade universe is being modernized to reflect how Marguerite beautifully explores the extreme sides of Sara through memories, her personal thoughts, like desire and hunger, in her solitude and when she is possessed by the Witchblade. So, I had to visually intersect a noir True Detective-like world with a supernatural, horror world that is a fantastic mix between Berserk and Zodiac,” Cafaro stated.
Marc Silvestri notes, “This is brand new mythology around Sara, and I can’t wait for you to fall in love with her and all the twists and turns. Discover Witchblade reimagined this summer, and join us as we bring all the fun of the 90s to the modern age and see how exciting comics can be. I can’t wait for you to read this new series.”
Witchblade#1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 17th, for $4.99 for 48 pages. And it’ll come with multiple cover variants.
