The latest issue of Empire Magazine has a feature on Marvel’s Daredevil – more specifically, Jon Bernthal’s Punisher. As you all can probably tell from the trailers, this is going to be a version of the character that we haven’t seen yet. The photos are also accompanied by the following:
The actor playing Man Justifiably Terrified By The Punisher wrenches open the door and limps through the cabin into his chambers. After a beat, Bernthal – assault rifle in the ready position – follows. Gunfire is exchanged, and the scene ends with The Punisher standing over the man as he begs for his life. Bernthal takes out a handgun anf puts it in the man’s mouth. Lost in character, Bernthal calls the man a “cocksucker.”
And then, just as Frank is about to Castle the poor chap, in barges Charlie Cox as that do-gooding Daredevil. “GET OUTTA HERE RED!” yells Bernthal, a line which tells us that, though their methods are different, The Punisher and Daredevil have formed an alliance of sorts. What happens next – Castle leaping up and pushing Daredevil out of the room – tells us that alliance is fairly brittle.
