Netflix Confirms 'The Punisher' Series
Jon Bernthal's vigilante will get his own series after starring in "Daredevil."
— -- After starring in "Daredevil" season 2, Jon Bernthal's The Punisher will get his own Netflix series.
Entertainment Weekly broke the news earlier today and Netlfix later confirmed.
Not only did the streaming service share a chilling Instagram video of skull, with the caption, "@ThePunisher is back. Locked and loaded," Netflix also changed its main photo to The Punisher symbol. Yep, they are all in, and so are fans.
Bernthal shined in season 2 of "Daredevil" as the man taking out (yep, killing) bad guys, compared to Daredevil's more laid-back style of just putting them in jail. He called "Red," aka Daredevil, a coward for not finishing the job, but the two later became allies ... kind of.
As EW pointed out, "The Punisher" will join fellow hits such as "Jessica Jones" and "Daredevil," and new series yet to come such as "Luke Cage," Iron Fist" and "The Defenders," as part of the network's collaboration with Marvel. So basically, Netflix is going to have your fill of comic series.
One word -- Punish!
