            The Defenders just hit Netflix this past weekend and features the likes of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist after their respective solo series. Now, after an often scene-stealing performance in Season 2 of Daredevil, Frank Castle aka The Punisher is getting his own show on the streaming service.

            Jon Bernthal returns as the grizzled, brutal war veteran who is seeking out justice and killing bad people. We see Castle gunning down criminals and bashing a hammer into the concrete to mark the skull that is one of the most popular emblems in the Marvel Comics universe. I loved Bernthal’s portrayal of Castle in Daredevil and believe that this could possibly even overtake the former shows as the best Marvel television show to date.

            Check out the first trailer for The Punisher below! The show stars Jon Bernthal, Ben Barnes. Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Amber Rose Revah and Deborah Ann Woll. The show is created by Steve Lightfoot, who wrote the NBC series, Hannibal and will hit Netflix later this year.
