Marvel Officially Announces 5 New Cast Members For Netflix's THE PUNISHER
We know of one thanks to yesterday's set snaps, but Marvel has announced that Netflix's The Punisher has rounded out its cast with 5 new additions, and some are playing established comic characters.
Yesterday's pics from the Brooklyn set of The Punisher revealed that Michael Nathanson had joined Netflix's Daredevil spinoff, and now Marvel has officially announced which character he'll be playing, along with 4 other new additions to the cast.
Daniel Webber (“11.22.63”) has been cast as Lewis Walcott, a young veteran who has had a difficult time re-assimilating into Civilian Society.
Jason R. Moore (“A Lonely Place for Dying”) joins as Curtis Hoyle, a friend of Frank Castle’s and one of the few people who knows he is alive.
Paul Schulze (“Nurse Jackie”) will play Rawlins, a high-ranking member of the CIA whose operations in Afghanistan intersect with Frank Castle.
Jaime Ray Newman (“Bates Motel”) plays Sarah Lieberman, Micro’s wife (played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach) whose marriage has made her life far more complicated.
Michael Nathanson (“The Knick,” “Wolf of Wall Street”) has been cast as Sam Stein, a Homeland agent who is challenged by his partnership with Dinah (Amber Rose Revah).
The likes of Curtis Hoyle and Rawlins (presumably the villainous William Rawlins) should be familiar to fans of The Punisher comics, while Lieberman, Walcott and Stein would appear to be new characters created just for the show - though there's always the chance they could turn out to be variations on supporting players from the comics.
"Marvel TV is very proud of the cast of The Punisher," said Executive Producer Jeph Loeb. "Each actors brings a special promise who surround Jon Bernthal's exceptional performance."
The Punisher will premiere on Netflix in 2017.
