And after Bernthal was noticeably absent from The Defenders – Marvel’s latest Netflix series which brought together almost all of the important characters from the street level sub-universe of the MCU – fans are understandably anxious to catch back up with The Punisher again.
The latest image from Marvel and Netflix’s The Punisher gives fans another look at the series’ flashback sequences, which will take them back in in time to Frank Castle’s (Jon Bernthal) time in the military.
Whether or not that unique quality will help The Punisher to live up to fans’ expectations, however, remains to be seen.
And currently, The Punisher is shaping up to be unlike any of the previous Marvel/Netflix series, thanks to both the unavoidable darkness surrounding Frank Castle and this flashback-heavy storytelling structure.
