Interestingly, the latter's next chapter, which premieres on Disney+ on March 24/25 , will conclude a week before The Punisher: One Last Kill makes its own debut on one of the world's best streaming services . Does this mean that events depicted in the eponymous anti-hero's TV special will run concurrent
to Daredevil: Born Again 's sophomore outing? Or will it actually take place after Born Again 2 's finale? Only those involved in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) production know for sure.

Spider-Man 4 will feature The Punisher in a supporting role (Image credit: Sony Pictures/Marvel Entertainment) The soon-to-be-released second season of Daredevil 's MCU TV series isn't the only project that One Last Kill will be tied to.

Indeed, with The Punisher real name Frank Castle set to have a supporting role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day , it's possible that whatever happens in
One Last Kill will directly influence the plot of the next Marvel Phase 6 movie.

How so? To answer that, we have to enter potentially big spoiler territory
for Spider-Man 4 . If you don't want to know anymore, I suggest you exit this page immediately.

Will we see Sadie Sink's mystery individual in One Last Kill first? (Image credit: Sony Pictures/Marvel Entertainment) Okay, the prevailing rumor about The Punisher's role in Spider-Man 's next MCU adventure is that he'll be protecting someone of great importance from the authorities. The individual
in question? The mystery character who'll be played by Sadie Sink in Brand
New Day .

It's a long shot, but what if Sink's character first appears in One Last Kill ? If she does, is this when Frank Castle will vow to keep her safe ahead of the pair showing up in Brand New Day ? It would be a fun way of not only explaining why the duo are in Spider-Man 4 , but also act as further connective tissue between Brand New Day and Daredevil: Born Again . Castle's association with both projects is, of course, the the primary common denominator between them.

Anyway, Marvel's Head of TV Brad Winderbaum has already gone on record (per Entertainment Weekly ) to suggest that Born Again 2 and Spider-Man 4 will be more closely linked than any of us realize. Bernthal's Castle and Sink's unnamed individual, then, would be one sure-fire way of bridging the divide between productions, especially if my theory that Sink will appear in One
Last Kill first is right.
