For those of you that have been watching Netflix more than your cable television, the odds are good that you have noticed a new trend. Hour long series that are released all at one time and typically exclusive to Netflix. The trend is picking up steam and with more people snubbing their noses at cable and satellite providers, it is one that is not likely to slow anytime soon. With that being said, one of Netflix’s main shows is called Daredevil.
Daredevil was created by Drew Goddard for Netflix and is based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It stars a lawyer that also fights crime in his spare time, the catch is that he is a blind person. With that said, his other senses are enhanced and of course, he can fight like a superhero should be able to. The entire series premiered on Netflix back in April of this year and it was announced shortly after that the show was renewed for a second season.
The filming for the new season started in July of this year and it is expected to hit Netflix next year sometime. For the second season, the creator of the show has a few tricks up his sleeve and one of them has to do with another well known comic book character. That character, known as The Punisher, will be making an appearance in the second season of Daredevil, according to reports.
The person behind the character is one you might recognize from another, popular television show, The Walking Dead. The actor that has been chosen to play Frank Castle, will be the same guy that played “Shane” in The Walking Dead, Jon Bernthal. Images of Bernthal on set have been circulating around the web lately and they clearly show him a little beat up. Filming for the show is currently taking place in New York City. Many are thinking that Bernthal is a great addition to the show and will fill the role as The Punisher very well.
The Punisher, of course, is a crime fighter himself and can be seen in the leaked images taking down a criminal. The one thing that is noticed almost immediately by fans of The Punisher, is the Bernthal is not wearing anything that shows the iconic white skull on it. Reports are suggesting that even though we know him as The Punisher, the white skull that is associated with him might not show up until later in the second season. Daredevil did not get his red suit until the end of season one and that might go the same for Frank Castle and his skull t-shirt.
