The Punisher isn’t working alone this time! A rumor from Spider-Man: Brand New Day reveals that the vigilante may not be alone when he makes his return.
There have been a lot of questions about Spider-Man: Brand New Day ever since it started filming. This has allowed the rumor mill to fill in the gaps, with reports on everything from the main villain to who Sadie Sink is REALLY playing. However, one aspect about the film that has slipped through the cracks is why The Punisher is making his return here and now.
The first bits of news revealed about this aspect of Spider-Man: Brand New Day actually come from MyTimeToShineHello. The scooper reveals that The Punisher won’t be alone when he makes his return. Rather, he’ll have a mystery partner. While the rumor declined to reveal any further information, they did suggest that the character is female.
Who Is The Punisher Working With In Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
The internet immediately went to work trying to discover who this rumor was talking about. This included scrubbing The Punisher’s entire backlog to try to find characters that might make their return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Some major candidates include Elektra, Amy Bendis, Conchita Ortiz, and even Karen Page.
However, the most likely character to fill the slot created by this rumor is Silver Sable. Fans still don’t know who the main villain of Spider-Man: Brand New Day is. And, given The Punisher’s tendency to work alone, it would only make sense that whatever character he allies with would be able to provide him with something useful. And in the case of Silver Sable, it’s likely that the deal is him joining the Wildpack in exchange for weaponry.
