    Netflix Pulls “Marvel’s The Punisher” Panel At NYCC

    Mary Anne ButlerBy No Comments


    Netflix has announced their planned Marvel’s The Punisher panel will not be happening this weekend at New York Comic Con.  The panel was originally slated to take place on Saturday October 7th at the event.

    The choice to pull the panel seems to stem from the Las Vegas tragedy we are only beginning to come to terms with. In a joint statement released today, Marvel and Netflix state:

    “We are stunned and saddened by this week’s senseless act in Las Vegas. After careful consideration, Netflix and Marvel have decided it wouldn’t be appropriate for Marvel’s The Punisher to participate in New York Comic Con. Our thoughts continue to be with the victims and those affected by this tragedy.”

    This announcement comes from Variety who first reported the news.  They went on to state that the series may not be released in it’s entirety on the 7th as was previously planned.
