We've got some pretty awesome news for you guys today, Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead, The Wolf of Wall Street) has been confirmed to star in the second season of 'Marvel’s Daredevil' available on Netflix in 2016! Awesome actor, awesome show, so far so good but what makes this even more epic is that Bernthal will be playing Frank Castle AKA The Punisher! One of the Marvel’s most popular characters, if a little hidden from the mainstream in recent times as Marvel have found success with characters from the Avengers. We're glad to see a potential return to form as the character is also one of the more brutal in the Marvel universe, an outlaw vigilante, The Punisher is bent on cleaning out crime in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen by whatever means necessary and trust us things usually get pretty lethal!

“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,” said Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s Head of Television. “Castle’s appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same.”

We cannot wait to see Bernthal standing alongside Charlie Cox's Daredevil in season 2 of the hit Netflix show. It's going to interesting to watch as while both characters are in search of the greater good, the two men have some pretty opposing ways of getting there. They've not always been the best of friends either and the thought a showdown between these two heroes is something we cannot wait to see pan out.

Yeah... that would be... EPIC! We'll have more as the second season approaches release, if you haven't make sure you check out our thoughts on the debut season in our in-depth review and for everything superhero keep it locked here at Cape and Cowl.
