The Return of a Classic Villain

Characters Joining the Cast

So far, we know that characters like The Punisher and Tombstone will be part of the cast, generating excitement among fans. However, many are expressing disappointment that Charlie Cox's iconic Daredevil will not be joining them in this anticipated adventure.

The Hand's Comic-Accurate Return

According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, The Hand will make an appearance in the movie, dressed in their traditional red attire, which aligns with fan expectations after their previous portrayal in Netflix shows received mixed reviews.
