The Punisher - Netflix

[Huggy43]

Well it's the news we've all been waiting for:

http://nerdist.com/the-punisher-gets-his-own-tv-series-on-netflix/

From the moment that Jon Bernthal was cast as the Punisher for Daredevil’s second season, it was clear that Marvel and Netflix had big plans for the character. Today, the long-rumored Punisher series was confirmed, and Frank Castle is coming back soon!

Entertainment Weekly broke the story about The Punisher series, which has Bernthal lined up to reprise his role once again. The Punisher has already hired Steve Lightfoot (Hannibal) to act as the showrunner. No other cast members have currently been announced, but the second season finale of Daredevil hinted at the inclusion Microchip (a.k.a. Micro), Castle’s right-hand man from Marvel’s comic book universe. Because the Punisher’s origin story was already told in Daredevil, the new series can presumably hit the ground running without retreading that material. The Punisher was previously adapted into three feature films, none of which fully captured the spirit of the character.

Good stuff. Stole the show.

Not surprised. I find it interesting that they don't mention Iron Fist even though it has been confirmed that the show will be moving forward before the Defenders miniseries.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

**** YEAH!

I am very happy about that!

 

[SirPaste]

Awesome

Jon Bernthal was easily the best part of Daredevil.

Looking forward to seeing where Marvel goes with the Punisher (I wonder if his origins will be explored further, as far as seeing what happened to him overseas, and how he got shot during the mafia wars).

Man the death toll will be spectacular

I think the thing that interests me the most is the fact this is announced before Season 3 of Daredevil. Hopefully that announcement follows soon.

 

[Novacane]

**** yeah! I knew he would steal the show the moment I heard he was in it and having more of him is fantastic news.

 

[KapG]

Soooooooo pumped!!!

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

Better be rated R

 

[Super Cake]

 

[Ozamataz Buckshank]

Hopefully he can carry an entire show

 

[izzy]

Good, arguably one of the most well done characters in their Universe

 

[beowulf]

Hopefully he can carry an entire show

The character or the actor?

 

[Mantis]

Nice! He was easily the best thing about Daredevil.

 

[Mantis]

Hopefully he can carry an entire show

 

[PBandJ]

Better be rated R

The Netflix Marvel properties have been leaning much more towards TV-MA, I doubt this will be any different.

One Batch Two Batch. Penny and Dime. Here I come. Here I come.

The Punisher is one of my favorite characters ever. I'm hoping it's uber-violent adult Punisher MAX Frank Castle and not Thomas Jane Frank Castle.
