Although hopefully he won't take as long as Murdock to properly suit up, and I'm his case tool up. We need The Punisher, and we need him dropping bodies left, right and centre!
Depending on when season 2 is set, he might be suited up already. The Russos hinted at him being in Winter Soldier (driving the yellow truck that saved Fury during the chase).
My guess is he's going to show up during the show and kill someone Matt is after, causing a rivalry through the season.

Marvel has announced that Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe Retaliation, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) will play Elektra in Daredevil: Season 2.
Elodie Yung (looking very Elektra-esque) in G.I. Joe: Retaliation
This version of Elektra Natchios is described as "a mysterious woman from Matt Murdock's past whose dangerous and exotic ways may be more than he can handle." The first season of Daredevil made reference to Elektra in a college flashback scene, but now Yung will portray one of Daredevil's most popular characters.
Frank Miller created Elektra in 1981, debuting her in Daredevil #168. In addition to being one of Daredevil's romantic interests, she was also for a time associated with the supervillain organization known as The Hand (which has also been alluded to on the TV show).
Yung joins Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher in the upcoming season, which arrives on Netflix in 2016.
Marvel released the following teaser image for Season 2, reflecting the latest character addition.
I thought about watching it but I feel like waiting til both parts of it are available. Loved Season 1, but not a fan of this whole splitting of the trailers for Season 2. Bah I say, Bah.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

I imagine it'll basically be two different trailers, and going by bits of this one, trailer 1 previews the Punisher story arc, trailer 2 will preview the Elektra arc. It's not like you're missing out by watching this one on its own, any more than you would be for watching two Civil War/Dawn of Justice/Star Wars trailers one at a time.

You're call, but it's not really necessary. Season one is a complete, self contained story arc. But if you've waited this long I suppose a few more months won't be too burdensome.

And is already out and been watched. This isn't a trailer for season 1, but a trailer for season 2 that bills itself as part 1 of a 2 part trailer. If it isn't really split in half then I will watch it, but calling it "Part 1" when really it is a stand alone trailer and not half of a whole seems silly.

Yeah, I think Elektra's going to be great, as is Punisher. Elektra in particular though will benefit a lot from the more grounded approach; no stupid costume, just two daggers, a face mask, and a whole lot of ass kicking.

How good does Elektra look in this? She is going to kick so much ass.
This Daredevil/Elektra is much better than the Affleck/Garner effort(though that admittedly was let down by poor script. Look forward to seeing the fights with this pair.
Get the director's cut of Affleck's Daredevil. It's a much better movie than the theatrical release. Still has Garner in it so it is still hobbled by her crappy acting but there is so much they cut out that you should see.

You'll remember from the movie as Matt gets ready to go into his sensory deportation tank, he "sees" ghosts images of a woman being murdered. That woman's murder actually features prominently in a story arc that was cut almost entirely from the theatrical release.

*sniff sniff* Smells like 20th Century Fox interfered and in turn, buggered up the theatrical release then? lol. Sounds about right. Just googled it- holy gak! Did they chop 30mins out of it? No wonder there wasn't much character development!
Series 2 is out and on fine form thus far! Watched the first two episodes, everything great about the first series (excellent cast dynamics, directing, choreography and production values) are still there in spades, but it's still very different.
Ep1 and 2 spoilers
Spoiler:
Seems to be a lot more Daredevil in this so far, the Matt stuff is still there but he's spending a fair bit more time 'suited up' so far, which is awesome.
Punisher has been introduced and set up very well indeed. No laboured setup or origin story (though I hope and expect that will come a little later), he's just straight in and doing his thing. So far, two fights between him and DD, both have been absolutely brutal affairs, excellently staged and choreographed.
The supporting cast are still great too, Foggy and Karen are still evolving and remaining relevant and interesting, each still very much dealing with what went on last year.
In short, more of the same, epic stuff as the first series, can't wait to crack on with the rest!
Binged it. Absolutley amazing, Jon Bernthal as The Punisher and Elodie Young as Elektra were spot on.
Plenty of threads left hanging as well, wouldn't surprise me if this ties into the Iron Fist series as well, or forms the basis of The Defenders team up. Loved the way they were able to mention certian events from Jessica Jones as well, the Netflix series are already starting to intergrate with each other quite nicely, whilst still being stand alone series.
Definitely a stronger beginning than end, where it tended to get a little scattered and some characters (mostly Foggy) just kinda fell off the face of the Earth, but a damned fine season it was - better than the first by a million miles.
Bernthal's Punisher was excellent from start to finish.
