Netflix have done a fantastic job so far with their Marvel properties. With Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage all having received their own solo series, fans have appreciated the fresh direction in which Netflix have gone with their beloved characters and many critics have praised the storytelling for each show.
The tone of the Netflix universe is a lot darker than that of the movies, with plenty of adult content on show, which in turn provides the perfect alternative for those who like their superhero stories a little darker as opposed to the more kid friendly cinematic universe.
Well now things are about to get a lot darker thanks to The Punisher getting his own solo series. After having appeared in season 2 of Daredevil, John Bernthal will be stepping into the shoes of the one man killing machine once again, to the delight of many Marvel fans. With production having begun in October, we’ve now been treated to our first look at the cast altogether for the very first time.

As you can see from the image above the picture includes (left to right): Jason R. Moore, Michael Nathanson, Webber, Amber Rose Revah, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jaime Ray Newman, Bernthal, Woll, and Ben Barnes.
Taken from actor Daniel Webber’s instagram (who’ll play a character name Lewis Walcott), it provides us with a good look at the cast and although they’re not in costume, it’ll be interesting to see what part they’ll all play in the series. With Hannibal’s Steve Lightfoot announced as the showrunner for the first season, big things are expected, especially considering how good previous series have been thus far.
Fans won’t have to wait too long for their next fix as The Punisher and The Defenders team up is expected to debut on Netflix sometime in 2017. Until then however, fans will be pleased to know that Iron First will be arriving first, on March 17th, 2017.
