Last year, Daredevil successfully kicked off the first of four Marvel superhero series and it quickly became one of the most popular comic-book inspired series. For the second season, Daredevil is upping its game by introducing Jon Bernthal as The Punisher and Elodie Yung as Elektra.
During a new interview with ComicBook.com, Marvel Head of TV Jeph Loeb praised Bernthal’s performance as the Punisher and offered a few hints about how the Punisher’s take-no-prisoners approach will drive the story of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) in season 2.
“[Bernthal’s] Punisher is extraordinarily memorable, in every way,” said Loeb. “For Matt, who believes in the law, the question of whether or not he is a vigilante, and whether or not that makes him the same as these people, is something that will drive the story, and will drive Matt. And in his performance, Charlie Cox will really raise some hard questions: when you decide to put on a mask and go out and seek justice, and you are not somebody who the law sees as someone who should be doing that job, how do you get away with that?”

Loeb also touched upon the relationship between Elektra and Matt Murdock.
“You will fall in love with Elodie Yung as Elektra, and she will break your heart, because that’s what Elektra does to people,” noted Loeb. “When you float Charlie Cox into that group, and Deborah Ann Woll, and Elvin Henson as Karen and Foggy, it just is an extraordinary cast. I just think people are going to be incredibly delighted by the story that Doug [Petrie] and Marco [Ramirez] and the writing staff came up with for this season.”
