Using some of Marvel’s more grounded, “street-level heroes,” the streaming giant created an interconnected TV universe, much like Marvel Studios had been doing with their films since 2008’s Iron Man. This included Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and the crossover series The Defenders. The Punisher (Jon Bernthal), who was introduced in the second season of Daredevil, even got his own spin-off series....

He said that both public and private organizations that had previously held off from putting mandates in place would “feel much more confident” in doing so following the approval....
