Jon Bernthal (“Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Walking Dead, ” “Fury”) joins the upcoming season of “Marvel’s Daredevil,” streaming only on Netflix in 2016!
Bernthal will portray The Punisher, one of Marvel’s most popular characters. He is a vigilante who aims to clean up New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen by any means necessary, no matter how lethal the results.
I just recently read the Rucka Punisher run that crosses over with Daredevil (and, er... Spider-Man), and that's my only real exposure to the character, but I can see him fitting in so well with what they've created. Great choice for the role too.

Ben doesn't die and Karen was a prostitute. Was also surprised that Wesley was killed off, kind of thought he was going to become The Rose.
It's not the comic book, that's why it's different.

Fair enough, but why bother using the same name as the characters in the comic if you are going to change things? Be better to make them different characters with different names.

I was surprised Ben got the chop. As for Karen, the impression I got was that there was more to her back story than we know, and they could even go down that avenue in the future.
