Judging from his twisted role as Shane Walsh from The Walking Dead, it is safe to say that Jon Bernthal’s taking the superhero mantel as The Punisher is not one to mess with. Coming right out of his debut in Marvel’s Daredevil, The Punisher is getting a series of his own set to release in Netflix by 2017. Here are the 5 reasons we should get hyped up with the superhero flick series.
1) A badass antihero
Frank Castle is no doubt a ruthless antihero among all the Marvel heroes. He is vicious when it comes to confronting his archenemies and killing them in cold blood.
2) A great addition to the Marvel TV Universe
Marvel TV has been piling and smashing up with Agents of Shield, Legion, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Ironfist and The Defenders. Frank Castle series would be a great addition seeing that he has crosses path with Daredevil and perhaps could be a part of The Defenders in future.
3) It’s Jon Bernthal
Jon has had a history of maniacal, ruthless roles when he performs his character. He could be a perfect casting for the skull mantel hero after a badass debut on the second season of Daredevil.
4) The time is now
Marvel universe is on the hike now in the movie and TV industry. Now would be the perfect time for The Punisher to have the recognition he deserves to shine his truly badass personality to the comic nerds and Marvel fans.
