Jon Bernthal has acknowledged the responsibility he feels in portraying Frank Castle in The Punisher TV series, particularly for how that character resonates with both comic book fans and armed forces members.
Bernthal has already impressed critics and audiences alike with his performance in Daredevil, so hopefully, he continues to shine in The Punisher.
The Punisher premieres later this year, and Bernthal has now begun officially promoting the show, having appeared at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 this past weekend.
The petition was surprisingly successful, and Netflix ordered The Punisher to series last spring, with Hannibal executive producer Steve Lightfoot serving as showrunner and Deborah Ann Woll reprising her Daredevil role as Karen Page.
