THE PUNISHER: SEASON 2 Brings Villains Old And New With Fresh Dark Heroism
I haven’t bothered reading a lot of the speculative reports pertaining to a hopeful third season of Marvel’s The Punisher on Netflix, save for an interview with creator Steve Lightfoot at THR. That said and given the appeal, I’m hard-pressed to believe the fans of the show are disapproving.

Marvel’s THE PUNISHER: Watch The New And Explosive Official Trailer For The Upcoming Netflix Series

Without question, the song alone sells the ensuing tone of raging suffering and outward violence that consumes our protagonist as so seen in the pages of Marvel and preceding film adaptations.

Marvel’s THE PUNISHER Will Blow You Away In The Official Netflix Series Trailer
Dolph Lundgren, Thomas Jane and Ray Stevenson all did ample work in their theatrical portrayal of hit comic book character, Frank Castle and his titular alter-ego, The Punisher, hailing from its comic book roots in 1974. If actor Jon Bernthal shares the same prospects any, I wouldn’t mind in the least, and I can’t complain at all either with the current progress being made at Netflix.
The 40 year old actor and co-star of The Accountant, Baby Driver and Pilgrimage brought freshness to his fervor in the role for last year’s two-hander next to Charlie Cox in the second season of Daredevil; A psychologically-splintered soul sparked by raw killing instinct and a tramuatized mental state that keeps him in fight-or-flight mode, this iteration of the dark, skull-bearing, heavily-armed comic book hero has only gotten better and better since then, and thanks in part to a viral campaign ripe with blacked-out tweets and videos adding layers on layers to the intrigue and mystery of what the new show will bring.
That push now brings us a full-fledged trailer invocative of exactly the kind of ballistic, grim and violent world in which Bernthal’s ‘Castle’ lives and kills by. Netflix is still keeping the premiere date a secret but this trailer is absolutely insane and hits all the right notes for this iteration of the Marvel property, and that it’s getting its own fleshed out series with Bernthal carrying the torch and series creator Steve Lightfoot (Transporter: The Series, Narcos) shepherding makes this all the more rewarding.
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.
Daredevil series co-star Deborah Ann Woll also stars along with Ben Barnes, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Amber Rose Revah, Daniel Webber, Jason R. Moore, Paul Schulze, Jaime Ray Newman and Michael Nathanson.

Netflix’s THE PUNISHER Series Teaser Teases Sledgehammers, Skulls And Omens Of Violence
I actually thought last week’s debut teaser for upcoming Marvel series, The Punisher, was as fake as most other fan-made trailers and only because of the grainy and low quality in which it was leaked by YouTubers. I then tuned into The Defenders series which pretty much confirmed it was legit, save for all the jocular John Wick comparisons, sledgehammers and such.
Regardless, it’s a series made all the more worthwhile for those keen on actor Jon Bernthal who made the character as fascinating as he did in the second season of Daredevil opposite Charlie Cox. Executive producer Steve Lightfoot is shepherding the series adapting the famed comic book anti-hero who notoriously hunts down criminals in the wake of his family’s murder.
A date still hasn’t been set but the teaser does the trick in doing exactly that – Teasing and leaving you wanting more. Peep it.
