Marvel And Netflix Developing THE PUNISHER Starring Jon Bernthal
We'll first meet Frank Castle in Daredevil season two, but it's now been revealed that Netflix and Marvel are developing a spinoff revolving around The Punisher which will see Jon Bernthal's vigilante take centre stage on the online streaming service. Read on for details...
Marvel and Netflix are clearly happy with Jon Benthal's take on The Punisher in season two of Daredevil as TV Line reports that the online streaming service is looking to give a spinoff starring Jon Bernthal the green light. This hasn't been confirmed as of yet, but this comes from an extremely reliable source (it's a sister site to Deadline), so don't be surprised to hear something official soon. The Punisher will join Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders, and it's hard not to wonder if Elektra might soon join them! For now though, this is fantastic news and a clear sign that Marvel are taking their reboot of the character very seriously as they look to redeem Frank Castle following a string of failed big screen adaptations. Its been said that The Punisher's origin story will play out in Daredevil season two, so it's obvious that there will be plenty of stories to tell with him once that wraps up! Tell us, are you guys looking forward to this solo spinoff?
