Yes. They are both Marvel Knights characters and both took risks other Marvel characters rarely took as far as dark subject matter and gray morals. (Punisher more than Daredevil, of course)

Also, they both work in New York so they run into each other a fair amount. I'm not a total expert, but in the things I read, Daredevil always seemed to tolerate Castle more than the other brighter, cleaner superheroes, even when they were at odds. They worked together here and there, which is significant because they are both loners.

I'm super excited about him entering for Daredevil season 2. Given the tone of season one, it's a perfect venue for Punisher to enter the MCU. Love the casting as well. This is gonna be good.

Also Kingpin is pretty much both characters' main antagonist. For Daredevil there's also Bullseye and for Frank obviously there's Jigsaw.

The "spinoffs" are already in place and I don't think will include Punisher on his own. The Punisher is pretty much the only comic book series I read religiously as a kid but I share those sentiments that he might be a bit too anti-hero to carry his own series. We'll just have to see.

As far as the other Netflix Marvel series go:

They fight much more then they team up really. Daredevil has the no killing policy, The Punisher does not.

Basically, Punisher is Daredevil if Daredevil gave in to his 'demons'.

For sure. I just always got the impression Daredevil saw him as misguided while most of the rest of the Marvel heroes see him as a psychopath.

Through the 90's there was an interesting play between Spidey/DD/Punisher.

On one extreme was spidey, the other Punisher, and DD was somewhere in the middle as they all visited each other's books.

And another thing to consider is that JJ is the only character that isn't "TV friendly." By that I mean it would be really easy for Cage, Puisher, DD, Iron fist, etc. to show up in Agents of SHIELD or another show because the big CGI costs aren't there like Hulk or Thor.

SHIELD could go on a mission to capture some arms dealer and there's that crazzy a$$hole Punisher again, killing everyone and ruining the operation.

Heck, SHIELD just teasing a cameo by saying "known enhanced in the area are..." and then you're on the edge of your seat waiting to see if any of them show up.

Marvel broke new ground with a whole cinematic universe building up to Avengers and they might pull off the same thing with "TV."
