Er…you know this thread is for all of that right? (Except DC =P)
Speaking of which:
The Punisher is back. Locked and loaded. https://t.co/nGKCa2taEV
With Marvel confirming the news via press release, Jeph Loeb had the following to say about the series.
We want to thank the fans who are clamoring for more of Jon’s stunning and powerful performance as Frank Castle from Marvel’s Daredevil. Now combined with Showrunner Steve Lightfoot’s compelling writing, we’re thrilled to bring Marvel’s The Punisher to Netflix.
The other half of this announcement comes via Netflix and here is what Netflix Vice President of Original Content’s Cindy Holland had to say about what made them green light the series.
Jon hooked our global audience with his performance as Frank Castle from the moment he stepped on screen in Marvel’s Daredevil, and we are looking forward to seeing more of him in this role under the vision of Steve Lightfoot.
As for the new showrunner attached to the series, here is what Steve Lightfoot had to say about joining the project.
For me, the complexity and unpredictability of Frank Castle make him an incredibly compelling character and I couldn’t be more excited to dive into his world. After watching Jon’s performance in Marvel’s Daredevil I could not be more excited to be working with him to further develop and progress the story of this anti-hero in a show of his own.
