Vincent D’Onofrio is slated to reprise his role as Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, in the third season of the Netflix Original. Behind the camera, Mr. Erik Oleson has been named the series’ new showrunner, replacing former showrunners Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez. Petrie and Ramirez are moving on to lead Marvel’s The Defenders.

“Vincent is an exceptional actor who returns with the incredible gravitas he brings to Fisk,” Executive Vice President and Marvel TV chief Jeph Loeb told Deadline reporter Dominic Patten.

Oleson carries an impressive resume into the Marvel-Netflix production offices. He most recently worked on Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle as a writer and executive producer. Prior the Amazon Prime original hit, Oleson was a Co-Executive Producer on CW’s Arrow for two years.

“We’re very excited how Marvel’s Daredevil develops through the creative lens and guidance of our new showrunner, Erik Oleson,” Loeb said.

Marvel and Netflix haven’t announced a launch date for Season 3 nor for its sibling shows Jessica Jones or Luke Cage’s Season 2 return.

Sarandos mentioned Marvel’s Luke Cage, which is slated for release on the streaming site later this year, and how it would be followed by Marvel’s Iron Fist and Marvel’s The Defenders in 2017, and that the previously-ordered Seasons 2 and 3 of Marvel’s Daredevil and Marvel’s Jessica Jones would follow some time after. When asked about the possibility of getting more than two shows a year, Sarandos said:

“I doubt that we could produce at the quality that  produce at that speed. But we’re gonna try to make them quicker so we can get less downtime between them.”

On the subject of The Defenders, Sarandos said: “The whole cast is called on for The Defenders, which changes the production schedule for the other shows.”

This is turn led to the question of Jon Bernthal and his role of the Punisher – which has officially been greenlit for a series – and if he would be involved with the gathering of Cage, DD, Iron Fist and Jones: “Uh… stay tuned.” was Sarandos’ response.

Marvel’s Luke Cage is the next Netflix original series to follow in Marvel’s fold, which will star Mike Colter and will be released September 30.

And with that (following Sarandos’ lead) stay tuned for more Comic Nook News as it develops.

Just when Matt thinks he is bringing order back to the city, new forces are rising in Hell’s Kitchen. Now the Man Without Fear must take on a new adversary in Frank Castle and face an old flame – Elektra Natchios.

Bigger problems emerge when Frank Castle, a man looking for vengeance, is reborn as The Punisher, a man who takes justice into his own hands in Matt’s neighborhood. Meanwhile, Matt must balance his duty to his community as a lawyer and his dangerous life as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, facing a life-altering choice that forces him to truly understand what it means to be a hero.

Season two of Marvel’s Daredevil sees (figuratively speaking) the return of Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock aka Daredevil, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple and Scott Glenn as Stick, Murdock’s estranged ex-mentor.

Season two will also introduce ex-Walking Dead actor Jon Bernthal to Hell’s Kitchen’s fold as Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, and Elodie Yung as Elektra Natchios, the ‘Greek girl’ referred to in season one as Matt’s ex-flame, turned highly skilled assassin.

Executive Producer Doug Petrie (American Horror Story, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) stands behind the critically acclaimed Netflix series, along with Marco Ramirez (DaVinci’s Demons) and Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods, Lost) and Marvel TV’s  own comic biz sage, Jeph Loeb (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel’s Jessica Jones.) Marvel’s Daredevil is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios.

All 13-episodes of Daredevil season 2 will be available for streaming on Netflix March 18, 2016.

Marvel’s Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada offered a tease or two during the Season 2 premiere for Marvel’s Daredevil. 

“Our goal is to provide four different shows that each have their own feel while, again, feeling like they are a part of a whole. Not an easy task, but I can tell you that our team is really fantastic at doing this,” says Quesada.“It’s still the early stages of Iron Fist, so I’m a little hesitant to say too much more than that. But Danny Rand is a completely different character and the world that he comes from, how he obtained his powers and his skills — all completely different.”

Scarce, but promising news about Kun Lun’s ‘master of martial arts’.

About Cage, Quesada says;

“We’re not just locking ourselves into Hell’s Kitchen — although a lot of stuff does go on in Hell’s Kitchen. Luke Cage’s world is still New York, but it’s a different neighborhood. Again, I don’t want to reveal too much more than that, but the show itself will have a different palate, a different feel, a tone. It will sound different. So stay tuned.”

Cage made his official debut in the MCU during the immensely popular first season of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, where we last saw a very much bereft and disillusioned Luke part ways with Jones after (*spoiler alert!*) learning she had killed his wife, Reva Connors. Granted, Jones was under the prolonged mind control of Killgrave aka ‘The Purple Man’ and was commanded to ‘take care of her’ — but alas — Cage was left distraught at the revelation.

Mike Colter will lead the cast for Marvel’s Luke Cage, which will also include; Simone Missick as Misty Knight, Frank Whaley as Rafael Scarfe, Mahershala Ali as Cottonmouth, Theo Rossi as Shades, Alfre Woodard as Mariah Dillard, and the return of Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple. Cheo Hodari Coker (Notorious, “NCIS: Los Angeles”) will serve as executive producer and showrunner for the series.

Finn Jones will star in Marvel’s Iron Fist as Danny Rand, the titular main character, which will be executive produced by Dexter showrunner Scott Buck.

Marvel Studios and Netflix have released ‘Part 2’ of their new trailer for season 2 of their critically acclaimed superhero series about the ‘man with no fear’. The trailer can be viewed in the player below.

All 13-episodes of Daredevil season 2 will be available for streaming on Netflix March 18, 2016. Apparently, there was an earlier rumor floating around that the second season of the Marvel/Netflix original would premiere the same weekend as (and thereby compete with)  Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice — Warner Bros. own aspiring juggernaut of a blockbuster — which is slated for released in theaters on March 25, 2016. This new bit of info about our blind attorney from Hell’s Kitchen puts the kibosh on that however.

   Also coming from the TCA event, by way of the fine folks over at TVLine, word has it that Frank Castle aka the Punisher may very well be getting his on spin-off, after his debut in the upcoming season of Marvel’s Daredevil.

Presumably, whether or not the series gets green-lit will rely heavily on fan and critic responses to Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead, Wolf of Wall Street), who will play the role of Frank Castle in Daredevil. Considering the extremely positive early responses from fans for his being cast, as well as the strength of his previous performances, odds are looking pretty good that we will be seeing much more of Bernthal rocking the iconic white skull in the future.
