The Punisher Will Reportedly Appear As The Villain In ‘Daredevil’ Season 2

In case you missed it, “The Walking Dead” alum Jon Bernthal is heading to Netflix: he’s going to play the dark antihero character The Punisher for the second season of Marvel’s “Daredevil.” The casting was well received around the Internet, Bernthal is a terrific actor and especially in tough guy roles, so the merciless Punisher fits the bill.

But what role will he play? As you probably suspected, especially if you’ve spent a minute with either the comic book or the Netflix show, The Punisher won’t be a friend, but a foe of Daredevil according to a report from Nerdist news. This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise: while Matt Murdock beats bad guys within an inch of their life, the man without fear Daredevil essentially has a "no kill" code of honor. The Punisher’s moral code is much more flexible, and generally over the years, the character’s been a lone wolf, judge, jury and executioner type figure.

If anything, Marvel can probably reap some good friction...
