Courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, we have the first official look at Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle – aka The Punisher – from the upcoming second season of Marvel’s Daredevil.

Speaking about Castle’s role in the series, showrunner Doug Petrie said “Viewers watching the show will be rooting for this guy with a gun but we’re also going to force people — the way we force Matt — to second-guess themselves. Taking lethal justice into your own hands in America in 2015 is tricky s–t. We have not shied away from the rich complicated reality of Now. If you’ve got a gun and you’re not the police you’re going to incite strong feelings. We’re stirring the pot and we’re aware of the headlines where we live and we’re trying to get people to think.”

Bernthal added “People have been coming up to me on the streets of New York saying, ‘Do not mess this up. This character has resonated with law enforcement and military. He’s brought the war home with him in the worst possible way. And the best thing about him is that if he offends you, he just doesn’t care.”

Daredevil will return with its second season in 2016.
