Marvel has announced that Jon Bernthal is joining the cast of Daredevil Season 2 as non other than big Frank himself, The Punisher. Bernthal is best know for his role as Shane in the Walking Dead and has also had roles in recent films Wolf of Wall Street and Fury. Jeph Loeb Marvels head of television spoke at Marvel.com about the casting:

“Jon Bernthal brings an unmatched intensity to every role he takes on, with a potent blend of power, motivation and vulnerability that will connect with audiences, Castle’s appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same.”

The gritty tone of the Daredevil show should work well with the darker more violent aspects of the Character and Daredevils code against killing should cause some interesting conflicts with trigger happy Frank. No word as yet if this would lead to the Punisher getting a show of his own but given the rumors around a show before it seems possible that this is the first step in getting a show starring the vigilante.
