'Daredevil' Season 2 Spoilers: Will Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle Become Netflix's The Punisher?

Audiences have been eagerly binge-watching Marvel's Daredevil on Netflix. With the casting announcement of Season 2 of Marvel's Daredevil, will Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) find himself confronting his ally and enemy, Frank Castle aka The Punsher (Jon Bernthal)?

As we previously mentioned, Matt Murdock (Cox) was a young boy when he was struck blind after a near fatal car accident. Though everyone thinks he lives in complete darkness, radioactive chemicals gave him back his sight. By day, Murdock pretends to be the blind lawyer attending courtroom battles. But when darkness falls, Daredevil serves out his own brand of justice as he protects Hell's Kitchen from Wilson Fisk (D'Onofrio).

We mentioned before, Netflix has announced Season 2 of the Man Without Fear series. There will be a few changes this time around as executive producer Steven S. DeKnight steps down and adds new showrunners Doug Petrie (American Horror Story) and Marco Ramirez (Sons of Anarchy).

According to Marvel, the former Walking Dead actor will portray their most popular characters. Staying true to his comic book origins, Frank Castle is a vigilante who aims to clean up New York City's Hell's Kitchen by any means necessary. The Punisher and Daredevil are always at odds over the difference between justice and vengeance.

Jeph Loeb, Marvel's Head of Television. states, "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."

Loeb adds, "Castle's appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same."

Bernthal joins Thomas Jane, Ray Stevenson, and Dolph Lundgren who have put their own stamp on The Punisher.

As we previously mentioned, DeKnight was anxious to bring the anti-hero to Netflix, "I've been a huge fan of the Punisher comics for years. I'd love to see him get his due on a platform like this. Nothing would delight me more than to see the Punisher get his own show and maybe we could convince Marvel to go Hard-R rating. If any character deserves an R rating, it's the Punisher."
