While not official photos, one pesky photographer managed to snap Bernthal on set in New York wearing dark clothes and sporting a beard.
With filming beginning now, Marvel’s Netflix schedule has been put into question; presumably, Punisher will hit the streaming service following The Defenders but before Daredevil season three and Jessica Jones season two.
In the last episode of Daredevil season two, Frank Castle finds a CD with the word Micro on it, referring to the comic book character of the same name. Micro was once friends with Castle in the comics but turns into a villain. He was also briefly mentioned in ABC’s Agents of Shield.
Meanwhile, Marvel’s Iron Fist series has been given a release date, 17 March 2017, along with another teaser video.
