Bernthal's Punisher Gets Series Order

Bernthal's Punisher Gets Series Order

MoneyLaunderer's dream just came true! Following the wildly successful second season of Netflix and Marvel's Daredevil series, Jon Berenthal will be reprising his role as The Punisher in his own spin-off series as originally reported by Entertainment Weekly.

Steve Lightfoot (writer and executive producer on one of my favorite shows of 2104, Hannibal) will serve as show runner for the series as well as pen the first two episodes.

"For me, the complexity and unpredictability of Frank Castle make him an incredibly compelling character and I couldn't be more excited to dive into his world" Lightfoot states. "After watching Jon's performance in Marvel's Daredevil I could not be more excited to be working with him to further develop and process the story of this anti-hero in a show of his own."

Netflix and Marvel clearly have a strategic plan in motion, with five separate series currently in different stages of production. Although it hasn't been confirmed at this point, don't be surprised if The Punisher also makes an appearance in 2017 with The Defenders!

Marvel's The Defenders To Begin Shooting

Marvel's The Defenders To Begin Shooting

It's no secret that the Marvel/Netfilx team-up has been killing it with their gritty take on the hero's of Hell's Kitchen. Daredevil and Jessica Jones have both been a tremendous success for the studio and viewers alike and details are finally emerging on that promised The Defenders series!

While no solid dates have been announced, Independent.co.uk reports that the series is set to begin shooting at the end of the year, which is incredible news considering we still have Luke Cage, Iron Fist and a second season of Jessica Jones on the way!

Daredevil star, Charlie Cox, opened up briefly on the topic this past weekend during a Netflix event in Paris. 

"What we do know is at the end of this year we're going to be making The Defenders and, of course, Daredevil is very much apart of that foursome. I have no idea what the storyline is going to be for that show. I'm very excited to see how those world's combine ... and interested to see tonally how those shows become one ... In terms of wrapping up any storylines, maybe they'll do some of that in The Defenders. Or maybe they won't."

Although it seems the actors are still in the dark regarding what their role as a team (as well as the thereat they'll face) will be, it's great to see things moving along for a potential 2017 debut!
