The Punisher

If the Defenders are to be a part of the Avengers: Infinity War movies – which it has recently be suggested may well be the case – then the Punisher could be too. Jon Bernthal is set to take on the role of the character in the second series of Netflix’s Daredevil and, while he’s set to be a thorn in the titular hero’s side, he’s sure to be a force of good.

The character is completely out of his league in a cosmic battle, truth be told, but it would be bad-ass as hell to see him prepared to put his life on the line against an Infinity Gauntlet-wielding Thanos, in spite of the colossal difference in power levels.

It’s quite hard to see how such a gritty character would fit in with the likes of Captain America and Star-Lord, but it would add an interesting dynamic – regardless of the fact that he’d be pretty much useless in such a massively cosmic event.
