There weren't any Mr. Fear screentests. There were, however, screentests for a man (I think the codename was "Laurence" or something) who did Fisk's bidding. That could have been Wesley.
Also the Elektra screentests (dubbed "Elise") were completely legit.
It's a show though. 13 hour long episodes is plenty of time to establish the different characters.
Just imagine... Open the season with Gladiator. Then Bullseye shows up, hired by Fisk from the inside, to kill his opponents, to prepare for his release. Punisher shows up to kill Bullseye, Matt won't let him. Meanwhile, Leland's son, Lee Owlsley, is taking over crime in the city, allying with the Hand, who are making their move on Hells Kitchen... With Elektra at their lead. Everything comes crashing together towards the end of the season. Would be glorious...
I've been clamoring for this for years. If it ever happens...They have to bring in Moon Knight at some point. Maybe not in his own show (which he deserves) but perhaps in one of the other shows. I can see him fitting into Iron Fist.
What do people think of his casting compared to every other actor who has played the Punisher? And how do you think Bernthal will do? How would you rate the other big screen Punishers?

And unlike just three years ago, it now may be possible. I love how this whole other side of the Marvel Universe is finally getting the exposure it deserves. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Punisher... Moon Knight, Blade and Ghost Rider must be on their way
