25 Things You Need to Know about The Punisher on Netflix

4. Karen Page Is Coming To Punisher’s Series
There was not going to be a real connection to the other Marvel Netflix series at first. Rosario Dawson’s Claire Temple has tied most of the shows together, but she is not in The Punisher. However, while there were no characters initially set to tie the movie to the rest of the Marvel Netflix Universe, which changed when Deborah Ann Woll signed on to bring Karen Page to The Punisher.
Screen Rant reported that Steve Lightfoot asked Marvel to write Karen Page into this series after he started to plan out the show. According to Lightfoot, he wanted to add Karen to his show because of the chemistry she had with Frank in Daredevil’s second season. He said that, out of everyone that Frank knows, Karen is the only one he treats like an equal.
As the trailers show, Karen Page will still serve as the conscious for Frank Castle and might end up in mortal danger herself. Adding Karen will help lead fans of Daredevil over to The Punisher and possibly help it get the eyes needed to make sure that Frank Castle lives on when it comes to Marvel Netflix.
