So, Frank Castle has to go gunning for the person who he feels is responsible for the innumerable civilian casualties. The one who started it all by organizing these weapons of mass destruction to come together. Nick Fury. The twist is that Frank is being used, he spots the double-cross early at the end of act one. From that point on, we have a ''[[Film/ThreeTenToYuma2007 3:10 to Yuma]]'' situation. Frank and Fury on the run from everyone, heroes and villains.

** The creative team tried to work in a cameo for Claire Temple, and Creator/RosarioDawson was very hopeful about it, but ultimately they couldn't figure out a way to have her organically appear (likely considering there was no way she'd be inclined to help someone like Frank) and figured it was better to not force it. This is the reason why Curtis has to stitch Frank's arrow wound up, and later on Dinah's father has to put Frank back together after being tortured by Rawlins. And it is also the reason why Karen Page functions as the crossover character to link this show to the other shows, instead of Claire.
** Steve Lightfoot has revealed that Karen Page was never part of his original plan for the show and she was essentially written in at the eleventh hour. He also may have had more scenes planned for Karen, but Creator/DeborahAnnWoll's schedule didn't allow it. She was also shooting ''Series/{{The Defenders|2017}}'' while ''The Punisher'' season 1 was being filmed. Likewise, while a leaked set photo from the set of ''The Punisher'' season 2 confirmed she'd return, she only appeared for a cameo in one episode, due to this season being filmed simultaneously with ''Series/{{Daredevil|2015}}'' season 3, which is Karen's flagship show.

Playing Against Type
Added DiffLines:
* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/CorbinBernsen as Anderson Schultz, at least for modern audiences more familiar with his role as upstanding cop Henry Spencer on ''Series/{{Psych}}'' than as skirt-chasing divorce attorney Arnie Becker on ''Series/LALaw''. Similarly, Eliza Schultz is ''far'' nastier than any of the other characters Creator/AnnetteOToole has played, especially with her being best known as the kindly [[Series/{{Smallville}} Martha Kent]]. Expect ''many'' jokes online about Henry Spencer and Martha Kent turning evil and [[spoiler: Frank shooting her]] being the ultimate Marvel/DC crossover.
