    The Punisher (Netflix) - News/Discussion/Speculation

    Punisher Spinoff Starring Jon Bernthal in Development at Netflix
    By Michael Ausiello / January 16 2016, 9:44 AM PST

    Netflix is this close to pulling the trigger on The Punisher, a new Marvel spinoff series centered on Jon Bernthal’s gun-toting Daredevil vigilante (aka Frank Castle), TVLine has learned exclusively.

    Viewers will get their first look at Bernthal’s Punisher when Daredevil's second season drops on Friday, March 18, but the early buzz on the Walking Dead alum’s performance is overwhelmingly positive.

    "Viewers watching the show will be rooting for this guy with a gun but we’re also going to force people to second-guess themselves," previewed exec producer Doug Petrie in a recent interview with EW.com. "Taking lethal justice into your own hands in America in 2015 is tricky s–t."

    For those keeping track at home, this would mark Netflix’s sixth Marvel series, following Daredevil, Jessica Jones, the upcoming Luke Cage, and the in-the-works Iron Fist and The Defenders.

    Reps for Netflix and Marvel declined comment.

      I'm going to have to see what I think of him in Daredevil, I haven't read any of the comic books.

                The only surprising part is why it took so long...But it was probably to work out the logistics of it.

                  I would wager they were waiting to see if the Punished character was well received on Daredevil

                    Can...not...wait for this series!! Jon Bernthal (shout out to Shane-TWD) did a good job portraying Frank Castle. The Punisher greatly enhanced season 2 of Daredevil!

                        Looks like this show may be coming a bit sooner than we expected, as production recently got underway in NYC
