Will I need to watch The Punisher and Daredevil series before watching Spider-Man Brand New Day?

So I have been hearing that Daredevil and Punisher might appear in Brand New Day, is it true? And if it is will there roles be important enough to catch-up on their tv series?

you have to watch daredevil just because it’s that good

RedditorStig2026-01-19 04:31

And then rewatch it to be in awe of the fight scenes

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 04:37

Oh everyone says that maybe I really should give it a try! Is Punisher as good to watch?

00TheLC2026-01-19 04:40

Season 1 is decent, Season 2 can kind of drag. If you like Punisher though it’s worth it for sure

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 04:49

I see!

Ostiethegnome2026-01-20 20:32

I would recommend watching the DD and Punisher seasons in release order.

ARquantam2026-01-19 09:38

Yeah DD is my favourite show after 'Ted Lasso'. Punisher is nice too, Jon Bernthal is very "Charming" if that makes sense. Amazing presence.

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 09:43

I love Ted Lasso too I'm on season 1 rn! Will definitely try DD

ARquantam2026-01-19 10:37

Oh Ted Lasso is so beautiful man, enjoy.

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 10:53

Yes the most comforting show I saw so far. Loving it even more than The Good Place

jamesrossurquhart2026-01-24 02:50

Daredevil is great, but Punisher is not good, especially season 2. I tried 4 times to finish that season and failed every time, it’s so bad. I’d recommend just watching Daredevil and Daredevil Born Again, you’ll be fine for Spider-Man.

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-24 06:41

Yeah I started watching Daredevil, I'm 3 episodes in and I'm really enjoying it

SirRichardLove2026-01-19 04:04

Yes

Piyushv53112026-01-19 05:04

Okay. I've watched both shows myself, but I ended up saying "no" to the post.

ddixonr2026-01-19 04:02

Ordinary-Chain-80472026-01-19 04:03

No since it’s like a 8 year time gap but I do recommend watching it cuz it’s peak but you do have to watch DD season 2 before Punisher

Psychological-Dig5982026-01-19 04:03

Has anyone seen BND yet? How would we know?

You have plenty of time to enjoy those good shows by the time it comes out.

joooalllanu2026-01-19 09:46

Whether you need to watch certain content before watching an upcoming movie is a completely reasonable question to ask, and is often answered in advance by people making the movie. No weird rudeness needed.

Affectionate_Gold3702026-01-19 20:31

well Marvel is kinda hinting that Daredevil Reborn could be leading to Spider-man movie. Most of the Marvel stuff is watchable on it's own though.

SirRichardLove2026-01-19 04:04

You should watch Daredevil and punisher because they're awesome series

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 04:49

Sure!

Bingbong7172026-01-19 04:09

If you want context about Punisher: only Daredevil season 2 and Punisher are relevant

If you wanna watch an elite superhero show: watch all of Daredevil and then Punisher for context

iameveryone20112026-01-19 04:48

also daredevil born again

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 04:50

Is Daredevil Born Again independent of original Daredevil or is it connected?

Regenitor_2026-01-19 05:10

Connected. Clunky in the way it does so, but connected nonetheless.

Known-Bad27022026-01-19 04:09

No but just watch a quick YouTube summary of daredevil and punisher before Spider-Man

Dry-Indication-24552026-01-19 04:10

They never or at least to the best of their abilities design these things with the aim of making you watch everything, so watch them if you want but it won't be detrimental if you don't

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 04:51

That is really convenient of them cause having to do homework can feel tedious instead of watching just to enjoy

NervousAd32022026-01-19 04:13

You should watch the original Daredevil show just bc it’s arguably the greatest superhero TV show of all time.

That being said I doubt you’ll need to watch them to understand the story. Marvel wants their films & TV shows to feel separate so audiences don’t have to do homework before watching a new release from either side.

Plus we don’t know if DD is in the movie. The Punisher is confirmed tho.

Pupulauls90002026-01-19 04:18

Well the Punisher WILL appear in Brand New Day. But I don’t think Daredevil is too likely right now. But you probably don’t need to watch either.

Jirachibi10002026-01-19 04:18

We don't know, the movies not out yet.

ZekeorSomething2026-01-19 04:28

No but their good series so watch them.

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 04:51

Sure then!

Toshimoko292026-01-19 04:32

Obviously not.

eagc72026-01-19 04:54

We won't know until the film is out

But you gotta watch Daredevil and Punisher they are reaaaaaallly good.

Just do note the following

1. You have to see Defenders before you see Punisher S1 and Daredevil S3 (as Punisher S1 alludes to something that happened in Defenders and S3 is written in a way that assumes you saw Defenders beforehand, i compare it to if you saw the entire Iron Man trilogy for the first time and you skipped Avengers and out of no where Tony is talking about aliens and has PTSD over an event we didn't saw in the first 2 films). also note that Punisher S2 is set after Daredevil S3.

2. If you decide to watch Daredevil Born Again once you are done with the original show, do note that Hawkeye and Echo occur before Daredevil: Born Again as they lay the groundwork for Kingpin's story in Born Again

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 05:27

Oh that is interesting! So I will have to watch Defenders and Hawkeye tv series as well

eagc72026-01-19 06:33

Yeah and for Defenders just in case you wonder if you need to see the other shows, just watch some recaps for Jessica Jones S1, Luke Cage S1 and Iron Fist S1 over at youtube and you are set (and if you do end up enjoying the characters maybe you could come back to them at a later point)

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 06:54

Damn I didn't know even Jessica Jones was related to MCU, all I know is the girl who played Jane is in the show

eagc72026-01-19 21:10

Yeah Jessica Jones is in the MCU and she will be returning this year in the new season of Daredevil: Born Again.

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-20 03:11

Interesting! I didn't know she was that important. So I should first watch Daredevil, Defenders, Punisher and Jessica Jones

eagc72026-01-20 03:32

I will give you a full list of what order the Defenders saga takes place, now whatever or not you want to see Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist is fully up to you, but if you want a general idea or where they fall timeline wise it would be this order,

1. Daredevil Season 1

2. Jessica Jones Season 1

3. Daredevil Season 2

4. Luke Cage Season 1 (Note: Daredevil and Luke Cage actually overlap as in both occur at the same time)

5. Iron Fist Season 1

6. Defenders

7. Punisher Season 1

8. Jessica Jones Season 2

9. Luke Cage Season 2

10. Iron Fist Season 2

11. Daredevil Season 3

12. Punisher Season 2

13. Jessica Jones Season 3

As i mentioned before too, in this point is when we see the Defenders Saga characters interact with the wider MCU with Spider-Man: No Way Home (Matt/Daredevil, but not plot relevant to his show), Hawkeye Season 1 (Kingpin), She-Hulk (Matt/Daredevil appears in the last 2 episodes, but not plot relevant to his show) and Echo (Both Kingpin and Matt/Daredevil, follows up on Hawkeye and sets up the events of Daredevil: Born Again in the post-credit scene) then after Echo we finally start the new Daredevil show and Spider-Man Brand New Day, also a Punisher one shot special is coming this year

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-20 03:55

Thanks a lot for the detailed order. I didn't even notice Matt in No way Home cause I watched it without watching the show. I am not sure about watching Iron Fist, Echo or Luke Cage but I might give Jessica Jones and Defenders a try along with Daredevil and Punisher. As I watched Krysten Ritter in Breaking Bad I might find her interesting here

eagc72026-01-20 04:58

Hope you'll enjoy them and as i recommended before if you still wanna know the details of what went down on some of the shows but don't wanna see them or just be up to date without watching them, look up some recaps on Youtube ^^

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-20 04:59

Yeah definitely! And if I feel like it I will just watch first season of Iron Fist or Luke Cage otherwise I will just watch recaps on YouTube

Grayx_28872026-01-19 04:56

I think you can skip both shows because *"Spider-Man: Brave New Day"* is more of a continuation of *"Spider-Man: No Way Home"* than it is of the Punisher and Daredevil shows.

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 05:28

In that case I'm all caught up cause I have already watched every spiderman movie

pje11282026-01-19 05:02

Punisher is going to be in Spider-Man, but here's the thing. Daredevil and Punisher are R-rated shows, and Spider-Man is Marvel's most well-known family friendly character. You will not need to watch those shows because Marvel wants anyone to be able to watch and enjoy this movie, regardless of whether you've seen those shows.

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 05:28

Cool

The_Superhoo2026-01-19 05:04

Another question like this.

How would anyone who hasn't seen the movie know the answer to this?

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 05:32

I didn't see a single question about Brand New Day that's why I asked otherwise I usually just read other answers for questions which already exist

Valuable_Customer6142026-01-19 06:04

You should want to watch them as they are some of the best content Marvel has produced.

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 06:29

will do!

RussellNorrisPiastri2026-01-19 06:10

No, but Daredevil is good

gothamite272026-01-19 06:44

I really doubt it

aresef2026-01-19 07:15

We don't know how big of a role they will play. However, I think everyone involved from Feige/Pascal on down is probably cognizant that not everybody seeing especially a Spider-Man movie has seen a trio of TV-MA television shows.

Matt was in NWH but you didn't need to have seen Daredevil to appreciate his scene.

DJfunkyPuddle2026-01-19 08:27

Makes sense if you want better context. Every marvel movie has had catch-up exposition or montages though.

redwolve3782026-01-19 15:08

I mean, you should anyway because they're brilliant

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 15:11

Hope they aren't slow like Falcon and the Winter Soldier

redwolve3782026-01-19 17:58

Only one way to find out

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-19 18:14

Yeah I will see! If it's as action packed and fast paced as Moon Knight I might enjoy it

Practical-Debate15982026-01-19 15:24

I would

Aggressive-Highway322026-01-19 18:26

Yes you have to watch them, because they rule.

Bro we don’t know, we haven’t seen Brand New Day yet.

Eject_The_Warp_Core2026-01-20 12:59

Sony is not going to hinge the success of their new Spider-Man movie on people having watched 4 to 6 seasons of 3 different tv shows. If you've seen them, you'll for sure have a better understanding of this version of Frank, but I'm certain the movie will make sense without having seen any of that.

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-20 13:04

That makes sense yeah! I didn't have trouble understanding No Way Home even when Matt was there in the movie so maybe they will optimize it again

daredevil2092026-01-20 15:22

Watch Daredevil first then Daredevil: Born Again

n_mcrae_19822026-01-20 16:39

Frank Castle is a combat veteran who turned into a violent vigilante after his family was killed.

There, you’re caught up.

LittleBingo962026-01-20 19:45

I doubt it.

Boil-san2026-01-21 00:05

You MUST watch ALL of the Netflix stuff...! ;\^p

* Daredevil - 3 seasons
* Jessica Jones - 3 seasons
* Luke Cage - 2 seasons
* Iron Fist - 2 seasons
* The Defenders - 1 season
* The Punisher - 2 seasons

Cardinal_and_Plum2026-01-21 00:40

Punisher for sure, Daredevil likely not. I doubt you need to watch any of the shows so long as you know who the characters are.

PowerPhantom2452026-01-22 01:29

I think you should be fine.

I have NEVER seen Daredevil series before watching Spider-Man No Way Home and I didn't have problem; a blind lawyer who is talented, was impression I got.

I have seen every Netflix Defenders series, so I know who they are now, but if I watch Brand New Day without watching any of them, I can still get the idea who they are; a random heroes who happened to be active in New York.

Creepy-Middle-7702026-01-22 05:26

Yeah even I watched No Way Home without watching Daredevil and i didn't even watch Tobey and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies still I enjoyed the movie. Hoping the same for Brand New Day

Educational-Oil-14972026-01-23 20:31

I say this a lot but marvel movies are very good at exposition. People over estimate the amount of “homework” needed for each project.

The MCU thrives off of those connections but also its ability to introduce someone who missed something to the core concepts of the characters within the movie.
