Awesome. The Punisher seems like a character made more for TV than a movie so I look forward to this.

Marvel Studios must have liked working with Jon Bernthal if they are already convinced to greenlight a TV spinoff with him this quickly, before the Daredevil season he is in came out.

They are really high on him. However, I heard it was Netflix who asked for the show, and I also heard that it wasn't a done deal yet as Marvel and Netflix were still working out the fine print.
However, I read about it elsewhere and didn't read the link up top so that might have changed

That's the thing about Marvel's "street" level heroes and anti-heroes is that they function better as a show rather than a standalone movie. I hope Moonknight gets his own show eventually

I like this news, but I feel like they are moving too fast. They haven't even cast Iron Fist yet and the show was announced years ago.
