Makes sense to involve a writer from "The Punisher" as that was one of the better received Netflix Marvel series and Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle is evidently a big part of this new run.Update

I don't know how much of the success of "Punisher" can be attributed to Scardapane since I don't know how much rewriting that show's head writer, Steve Lightfoot, did.
Either way, I don't envy the challenge he's facing. It's extremely difficult to rework something that wasn't working, while discarding as little as possible. The only recent example I can think of is Amazon's adaptation of "The Power", where Raelle Tucker was brought in after a lengthy COVID-imposed hiatus after ten episodes that the streamer wasn't satisfied with had been mostly already shot, and they no longer had access to two of their name actor leads.
