Find Out Which PUNISHER Comics Jon Bernthal Is Researching For DAREDEVIL Season 2
The former The Walking Dead actor has posted some pics of the comics he's reading up on for his upcoming role as Frank Castle in the second season of Netflix's Daredevil. Will they inform the plot at all? Either way, he's researching some quality Punisher arcs. Take a look...
Jon Bernthal continues to plough through Punisher comics to prepare to bring Frank Castle to life in season 2 of Daredevil. The actor returned to Hypnocomics in Ventura, and came away with some interesting light reading.
There's a 2010 issue of Punisher MAX which sees Castle alone in prison, reflecting on his family and the violent life he's chosen for himself. There's also 1986's Punisher: Circle of Blood, in which Castle meets the "Punishment Squad" and lies about killing the Kingpin, igniting a massive gang war in the process. Then we have Garth Ennis' acclaimed Punisher: War Zone - The Resurrection of Ma Gnucci, featuring Castle attempting to take out the Gnucci family once and for all.
Obviously we don't know if the plot of Daredevil season 2 will borrow from any of these arcs, but there's always the chance Marvel will at least take some influence from the best Punisher stories out there. The Kingpin stuff from Circle Of Blood in particular could make for an intriquing dynamic between Fisk and Castle on the show, and serve as a way to introduce the character.
Which other Punisher comics do you think Bernthal should be looking at?
