Earlier today Netflix unveiled the first full trailer for The Punisher [see here], and now we have some comments from leading man Jon Bernthal, who has told EW that Frank Castle’s series will take us to the darkest, most brutal corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“This season is much darker as it goes, it gets darker and darker and more visceral. The show takes you on this journey of Frank becoming more and more human again and then shutting off and shutting off and going back to what works for him, and the place where he kind of belongs, and I think that’s a place of solitude and of darkness and destruction. It’s going to get into as dark and as brutal a place as you’ve ever seen in the Marvel world, I can promise you that.”
As yet, there’s no official word as to when exactly we can expect The Punisher to hit the streaming service, although rumours have pointed towards November for its arrival.
After exacting revenge on those responsible for the death of his wife and children, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) uncovers a conspiracy that runs far deeper than New York’s criminal underworld. Now known throughout the city as The Punisher, he must discover the truth about injustices that affect more than his family alone.
The Punisher features a cast that includes Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Ben Barnes (Billy Russo), Jason R Moore (Curtis Hoyle), Michael Nathanson (Sam Stein), Daniel Webber (Lewis Walcott), Amber Rose Revah (Dinah Madani), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Micro), Jaime Ray Newman (Sarah Lieberman), Paul Schulze (Bill Rawlins), Shohreh Aghdashloo (Farah Madani), Rob Morgan (Turk Barrett) and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio in an as-yet-unrevealed role.
