Jon Bernthal

If you were hoping The Punisher arrived guns-blazing, head-banging and Bernthal-brooding, today’s your day. Marvel’s Netflix spinoff released an action-packed first full trailer, raiding the music library once more to the sweet sounds of Metallica.

We knew Marvel’s Netflix Punisher would have to distinguish itself from the dimly-lit Defenders, but who knew that meant body-cams and broad daylight murder? Frank Castle is a woodland killer in the latest teaser for the Daredevil spinoff.

If you thought three new Marvel series in one year was a lot take in, Netflix sure isn’t going to make The Punisher easy on you. Get a look at the full cast with new photos from the forthcoming spinoff, but are we any closer to a premiere date? The suspense (and bullets) are killing me!

Neither The Punisher nor Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. got to hold court at Comic-Con 2017, but Marvel will change that for New York. Both series will be granted their own panels in Madison Square Garden to preview the upcoming seasons from NYCC.

Settle in, Jon Bernthal fans, we’ve got a double-header of news for you. Bernthal, who will be starring as the Punisher in his upcoming Netflix spinoff series, has just wrapped a role for Steve McQueen’s heist thriller Widows. Not only that, he’s officially joined up with Damien Chazelle’s Neil Armstrong biopic First Man, alongside Ryan Gosling and Kyle Chandler.

Leave it to Frank Castle to work in stealth when the occasion calls. A series of cryptic tweets from The Punisher Twitter account offered a Morse Code clue for fans, and the results may reveal all thirteen episodes from the coming spinoff.

The Defenders have had their fun, and The Punisher is taking the spotlight by force. See for yourself with yet another teaser for the Daredevil spinoff, as we meet Frank’s friends and allies and “fall in.”

The Defenders had their day, and only The Punisher remains on Marvel’s 2017 Netflix slate. We’ve seen one teaser, so catch a brand-new photo and synopsis for Frank Castle’s continuing adventures, as Marvel plays coy with the premiere.

The Punisher may not have gotten to play with The Defenders, but you knew Frank Castle wouldn’t let us linger for long. Watch Jon Bernthal put on his best Thor impression with a first official teaser for the upcoming spinoff.

The Defenders will bring us the spectacle of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist united, so it came as little surprise Jon Bernthal’s Punisher would stick to his spinoff for now. Marvel isn’t certain how, or when a second Defenders season might take place, but The Punisher may not become a team player then, either.
