THE PUNISHER Season 2 Adds Josh Stewart, Floriana Lima And Giorgia Whigham As New Series Regulars
Josh Stewart (Shooter), Floriana Lima (Supergirl), and Giorgia Whigham (Scream) have all joined the second season of Marvel and Netflix's The Punisher. Find out who they'll be playing after the jump...
Marvel and Netflix's The Punisher has added 3 more series regulars for its upcoming sophomore season.
According to Deadline, Shooter actor Josh Stewart will play John Pilgrim, "a man whose calm exterior belies a ruthless interior. Despite having left behind a life of violence, circumstances will force him to use his old skills and bring him into Frank Castle’s world." Meanwhile, Supergirl's Floriana Lima will portray Krista Dumont, "a smart, compassionate, and driven psychotherapist for military veterans." And finally, Giorgia Whigham (Scream) will play Amy Bendix, "a street-smart grifter with a mysterious past."
As far as we know, Bendix is the only established Marvel Comics character of the three, and a very minor one at that. It also sounds like this incarnation of Amy is going to be a lot different to the mentally challenged young girl of the comics.
“Josh, Floriana and Giorgia are all remarkable talents and we can’t wait for the audience to see what we have in store for them in the second season of Marvel’s The Punisher,” said Punisher executive producer Jeph Loeb, Head of Marvel Television.
Added The Punisher executive producer/showrunner Steve Lightfoot, “We are incredibly excited to have Josh, Floriana and Giorgia joining the cast of Marvel’s The Punisher and seeing them bring their talents to the next chapter in the Frank Castle story.”
Jon Bernthal will reprise the role of Frank Castle, and he'll be joined by fellow season 1 returnees Ben Barnes as Billy Russo, Amber Rose Revah as Dinah Madani, and Jason R. Moore as Curtis Hoyle.
