The cast of Marvel's superhero
drama The Punisher is starting to take shape.
Today, Marvel and Netflix
have confirmed the castings of Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Amber Rose Revah, and Ben
Barnes, whom will be joining Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle/The Punisher) in the upcoming
series.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach ("Girls")
will play Micro, a former NSA analyst whose secrets may be of great value to
Frank Castle and everyone around them.
Amber Rose Revah ("Son
of God") joins as Dinah Madani, a highly-trained sophisticated Homeland
Security agent who is vexed by the Punisher.
As for Ben Barnes ("The
Chronicles of Narnia") his casting was leaked while back, but now we have
confirmation that he will play Billy Russo, Frank’s Castle’s best friend from
his days in the Special Forces, who runs a successful private military
corporation called "Anvil".
"I’m really excited
about the cast we're assembling alongside Bernthal as Frank Castle," said
showrunner and Executive Producer Steve Lightfoot. "I look forward
to watching Ben, Ebon and Amber embody these characters and breathe vivid life
into the story we are crafting for this season of Marvel's The Punisher."
"We couldn’t be more
thrilled about the remarkable talent joining Jon Bernthal in 'Marvel’s The
Punisher.' Ebon, Ben and Amber are incredibly talented actors and we can’t wait
to see them bring these characters to life," said Jeph Loeb, Executive
Producer and Marvel’s Head of Television.
Steve Lightfoot ("Hannibal")
will write the series’ first two episodes in addition to serving as showrunner
and Executive Producer. Jim Chory ("Marvel’s Daredevil," "Marvel’s
Jessica Jones," "Marvel’s Luke Cage") will also serve as
Executive Producer alongside Jeph Loeb ("Marvel’s Daredevil," "Marvel’s
Jessica Jones," "Marvel’s Luke Cage").
"Marvel’s The Punisher"
will be streaming globally on Netflix in 2017.
