The Punisher confirmed for season 2
"Walking Dead" Star Cast As The Punisher In "Daredevil"
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jon Bernthal, who played Shane in “The Walking Dead“, has been cast as The Punisher in the second season of Netflix’s “Daredevil“.
In “Daredevil“, The Punisher, whose real name is Frank Castle, goes around punishing the criminals of Hell’s Kitchen by any means necessary, regardless of the potentially lethal results. He’s a trained martial artist with extensive weapons knowledge and is versed in guerilla tactics.
Marvel head of TV Jeph Loeb states:
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. Castle’s appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same.
The second season of the show returns in 2016.
