The Punisher to appear in Daredevil series 2!
 

Jon Bernthal (“Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Walking Dead, ” “Fury”) joins the upcoming season of “Marvel’s Daredevil,” streaming only on Netflix in 2016!

Bernthal will portray The Punisher, one of Marvel’s most popular characters. He is a vigilante who aims to clean up New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen by any means necessary, no matter how lethal the results.

“Jon Bernthal brings an unmatched intensity to every role he takes on, with a potent blend of power, motivation and vulnerability that will connect with audiences,” said Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s Head of Television. “Castle’s appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same.”

Bernthal will also appear in the upcoming action thriller “The Accountant.”

“Marvel's Daredevil” is Executive Produced by Doug Petrie (“American Horror Story,” “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”), Marco Ramirez (“Marvel’s Daredevil,” “DaVinci’s Demons”) and Drew Goddard ("Cabin in the Woods," "Lost"), along with Marvel TV's Jeph Loeb ("Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "Marvel’s Jessica Jones.”)

"Marvel's Daredevil" is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios. Season one of “Marvel’s Daredevil” is now streaming on Netflix.

Was already excited for this but even more so now that I've seen who'll be playing him. Top choice, TWD's loss will be Daredevil's gain.

About time they threw Punisher into the MCU :clap1:

still need to watch the last 3 episodes but great news :flutter:

I'm not familiar with the character yet but it sounds like a role Jon will be perfect for. :clap1:

I still need to watch the first season but I plan to soon, I've heard very good things. :)

Excellent casting, I do feel that they may end up overloading the second series with too many characters if the rumours of Elektra, Bullseye and crossovers with the three over Netflix marvel series are to be believed.

I thought it stumbled a bit in the last few episodes, still good though.
