NYCC: Punisher Series Has Begun Filming
Easily one of the fan favorite characters of Daredevil Season 02 on Netflix was Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, aka The Punisher. At the end of the season, he had become the character from the comics, complete with skull vest.
Then, word began to spread of Bernthal getting his own Netflix series, which was confirmed not long after. Now, at NYCC, Marvel has confirmed that filming for the season has begun. And in a surprise, Deborah Ann Woll from Daredevil will crossover for the season as Karen Page.
“What Frank [Castle] and Karen got to do last year was some of my favorite stuff,” Woll stated at the reveal during the Iron Fist panel at NYCC
Also, Bernthal himself showed up at the panel to further cement the very special announcement.
“I believe in Frank and his journey and I’m fascinated by it,” Bernthal said to the fans in attendance at the panel. “And to fans of the comics, members of law enforcement and members of the military, I’m just so grateful we get to tell another chapter. I give you my word on behalf of this cast and this crew we’ll do our very best.”
No word on when it will release, but, it’s likely to air after Iron Fist, which arrives in March, and possibly after Defenders depending on when that airs.
