The first Punisher footage that was screened at San Diego Comic-Con did offer up Frank’s softer side through a set of shots with him playing the guitar with his daughter, and that kind of emotional element can go a long way in showing fans that we’re not dealing with a monster here, but rather a man dealing with profound loss.
Not the kind of thing that was brought to mind during that badass prison break scene in Daredevil, that’s for sure.
One has to imagine that Frank Castle wasn’t exactly the most touchy-feely kind of father and husband whenever his family was still alive, considering his secrecy-heavy military background, as well as the small group of people he can actually call a friend.
