Huge news coming from Marvel's website today as Jon Bernthal was announced that he's joining the second season of Marvel's Daredevil and he's playing Frank Castle AKA The Punisher, the vigilante who wants to clean up New York City's Hell's Kitchen, even if that means killing people.

Bernthal is known for his role as Shane on AMC's The Walking Dead as well as his role in Fury. The head of television of Marvel, Jeph Loeb, is excited about Bernthal coming to the show:

“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... Castle’s appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same.”
