Although we’re yet to hear any word on a possible second season for Netflix’s latest Marvel series The Punisher, showrunner Steve Lightfoot has been chatting to The Hollywood Reporter about which villains he’d like to see Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle going up against in season two should the call come.
I haven’t even thought about season two … but one of the villains I love is Barracuda [from Garth Ennis’ Punisher MAX series]. I think he’s great fun. I also really like O’Brien [also introduced in Ennis’ Punisher MAX run]. I thought she was always really cool. Certainly those two jump out at me initially, but there are so many great characters there. It’s a very fun sandbox to play in.”
