Bernthal, collaborating with We Own This City director Reinaldo Marcus Green, will also contribute to writing the special. Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Television, described the project as "a shotgun blast of a story, but also [with] all the pathos and emotion that you want out of a Frank Castle story," highlighting its exciting potential.

This gritty street-level superhero team, featuring Matt Murdock's Daredevil, Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones, Mike Colter's Luke Cage, and Finn Jones' Iron Fist, previously captivated audiences on Netflix. Their adventures have now been integrated into the MCU canon on Disney+.
