Daredevil Jon Bernthal IS Frank Castle / The Punisher!

[BatsDC]

Jon Bernthal (“Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Walking Dead, ” “Fury”) joins the upcoming season of “Marvel’s Daredevil,” streaming only on Netflix in 2016!

Bernthal will portray The Punisher, one of Marvel’s most popular characters. He is a vigilante who aims to clean up New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen by any means necessary, no matter how lethal the results.

“Jon Bernthal brings an unmatched intensity to every role he takes on, with a potent blend of power, motivation and vulnerability that will connect with audiences,” said Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s Head of Television. “Castle’s appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same.”

Bernthal will also appear in the upcoming action thriller “The Accountant.”

“Marvel's Daredevil” is Executive Produced by Doug Petrie (“American Horror Story,” “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”), Marco Ramirez (“Marvel’s Daredevil,” “DaVinci’s Demons”) and Drew Goddard ("Cabin in the Woods," "Lost"), along with Marvel TV's Jeph Loeb ("Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "Marvel’s Jessica Jones.”)

"Marvel's Daredevil" is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios. Season one of “Marvel’s Daredevil” is now streaming on Netflix.

Blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) fights against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the Super Hero “Daredevil” in modern day Hell's Kitchen, New York City. "Marvel's Daredevil" stars Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson and Rosario Dawson.

[SWAT]

He wasen't my first, second or third choice. But... He usually gives a hundred percent. So.

Now it's up to the showrunners to make sure the character is done right.

 

[Destructus86]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First...I totally said a few days ago saying that Punisher should show up in Daredevil season 2.

And that casting!! Fuuuuuuuuuuhhhh!!! It's so good.

Hopefully his appearance in season 2 spins off to his own show on Netflix!

 

[Rowsdower!]

Hopefully his appearance in season 2 spins off to his own show on Netflix!

I have a feeling it will.

 

[Avenger]

What an absolutely perfect choice that I never would have thought of. Bernthal is a great actor and he's going to completely nail it as the Punisher. So hyped!

 

[flickchick85]

[MadVillainy]

Damn right.

YOURE G**DAMN RIGHT

He was my first choice. Yes

 

[batman44]

Oh wow, great casting.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Fantastic casting! I can totally see him as Frank Castle.

So Norman Reedus has voiced the Punisher and now Jon is going to play him in real life.

Hopefully a movie or his own series gets spun off this. And I hope he gets more than one episode.
