Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Summary
Spider - Man 4isMarvel ’s opportunity to pull off a fail cameo endeavor that is 20 years in the making . Thoughdetails aboutSpider - mankind 4are still scarce , rumors indicate that Marvel is gearing up for a street - level fib at its snapper . If true , this espouse well with the fact that many more New York - base heroes have of late been the shopping mall of aid in the MCU , admit the heroes that constitute the Defenders , andthe iconic Spider - Man villainKingpin himself .
Matt Murdock and Peter Parker have already interact inSpider - Man : No Way Home , so it remain firm to reason that Peter would recall Murdock should he need to enlist his services again . Meanwhile , with the " Defenders Saga " being recentlyconfirmed as MCU canon , it is difficult to consider that any misbehavior carried out by Kingpin or another New York - base villain would go unnoticed by other New York vigilante like Luke Cage or Punisher . An appearance by Punisher , in peculiar , would be a substantial fashion to call back to his obscure cameo in Sam Raimi’sSpider - Man 2 .

Spider-Man 2 Has A Punisher Cameo… Sort Of
Back in 2004 , Punisher already featured in the backcloth of aSpider - Man 2scene . The blink - and - you’ll - young woman - it second came as Kirsten Dunst ’s Mary - Jane Watson run through the streets of New York to Peter Parker ’s flat , passing by a man wearing a distinctive outfit . His appearing was suspiciously similar to that of Thomas Jane ’s Punisher , who star in his eponymous movie in the same class . As it turn out , that was the intention , as confirmed by the videodisc commentary throughout the scene .
A Marvel anti - Italian sandwich has a abbreviated cameo at the end of Spider - Man 2 , but now this potential crossing over seems more potential than ever .
The Punishermarked the second sentence Frank Castle made his way to the braggy screen , though it failed to evoke any more positive revaluation than his 1989 cinematic first appearance . This did n’t stop the filmmaker from attempt a sequel , which was canceled and replaced by a reboot in the form of 2008’sPunisher : War Zone . This bombed spectacularly and became thelowest - grossing Marvel moving picture in history(at the time ) , though enthusiasm for Frank Castle was reinvigorate by Jon Bernthal ’s tenure in the Defenders Saga . This makes it the perfect prison term for Punisher to reemerge and do justice to the fictional character
Why Spider-Man 4 Is The Perfect Time For A Spidey-Punisher Crossover
The appetence forSpider - Man4to return key to the titulary hero ’s street - level roots is huge , and all the necessary parameter are in post to facilitate it . Marvel has latterly focalize intemperately on more grounded fighter , as the introduction of street - spirit level graphic symbol like Kate Bishop and She - Hulk redirects the narration from its previous preoccupation with all things cosmic . IfSpider - Man 4continues that drift and pivots off from his multiversal effort , then there is no expert time for the Punisher to join him .
There is already a Marvel Comics precedent for Punisher and Spider - Man to cross track , which has happened in numerous issues of their respective comics .
The squad - up would also make for an interesting dynamic . While his Avengers colleagues are comparatively trigger - well-chosen when it comes to whaling on enemy , Spidey remains one of the few heroes who balk at the mind of kill adversaries . Punisher is very much on the opposite end of that scale and would provide a important moral enhancer for Peter to overtake during the course ofSpider - Man 4 . Jon Bernthal is already confirm to appear alongside Charlie Cox andVincent D’Onofrio inDaredevil : Born Again , but whether this account bleeds into Spider - Man ’s next pleasure trip remains to be seen .
