June 17, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Last week, Marvel announced that The Punisher is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Jon Bernthal securing the role of Frank Castle in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s Daredevil.

Now, during a promotional interview with ABC News, the Fury and The Walking Dead star has briefly shared his excitement, say’s he’s “thrilled” with the chance to portray the fan-favorite vigilante:

“Oh man, it’s just a huge honor to play the part and that’s all I can say about that. I’m very thrilled and we haven’t started yet, but I’m very much looking forward to it.”
