We’ve only just begun to enjoy The Defenders, but there’s already something new coming down the pike in the realm of Marvel’s small screen heroes (and villains). This morning, we got our first look at Marvel’s standalone series for The Punisher in this teaser trailer, showcasing a Frank Castle who is out for some serious blood. Take a look:
The teaser doesn’t give away much, and has a surprisingly small amount of violence (for a Punisher teaser, anyway). But we do get some quick glimpses into Frank’s past with both his family and his time in the military, as well as a few shots of him going after villains with his shotgun. We don’t get any good looks at the show’s supporting cast, or any further hints of the season’s specific storyline apart from “The Punisher is coming for you.” Despite the quick look, The Punisher is shaping to be a badass and intense addition to the Netflix Marvel family.
Jon Bernthal quickly won fans over on Daredevil as the troubled and extremely deadly vigilante Frank Castle. Seeking revenge and justice after the brutal loss of his family, Frank ran through Hell’s Kitchen making sure bad guys were stopped for good, not satisfied to leave their fate up to the justice system. While Matt Murdock spent the majority of his time with Frank trying to get him to abide by a moral compass more like his own, the season ended with Frank learning the truth about those he admired the most, and fully embracing his role as the Punisher. And from the looks of this teaser, he hasn’t slowed down a bit from Daredevil season two. The Punisher is expected to release to Netflix later this year, and though we don’t have a specific date just yet, we can expect to start seeing a lot more about Frank Castle very soon.
