While we anxiously wait for news on who will play Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel has dropped one hell of a piece of casting news. They've announced today that Jon Bernthal (Wolf of Wall Street, The Walking Dead, Fury) has joined the upcoming season of Daredevil! Bernthal will portray The Punisher, one of Marvel’s most popular characters. He is a vigilante who aims to clean up Hell’s Kitchen by any means necessary, no matter how lethal the results.
"Jon Bernthal brings an unmatched intensity to every role he takes on, with a potent blend of power, motivation and vulnerability that will connect with audiences," said Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s Head of Television in a press release today. "Castle’s appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same." Daredevil is Executive Produced by Doug Petrie (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Marco Ramirez (DaVinci’s Demons) and Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods), along with Marvel TV's Jeph Loeb (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).

COOL I like him, he might be good as the punisher. I just hope they dont make him as depressing as the 2 movie versions were. I do find it odd they would do punshier next, maybe because he isnt super powered. Will he be the antagonist? or will there be a villain too?

I bet he starts out as an antagonist, but ends up helping DD. I think they are looking to cast Bullseye as the Villian, Jason Statham was in the running but he pulled out.

I would rather bullseye be a unknown actor, or little known. They need the right type of actor with right charisma or it wont be very good .
Marvel has announced that Elodie Yung, who appeared in G.I. Joe: Retaliation as Jinx, has been cast as Elektra in the upcoming second season of Daredevil on Netflix.
Elektra was referenced in the show’s first season, as Matt told Foggy things “didn’t work out” with a certain Greek girl.
Elektra, of course, appeared in the feature film version of Daredevil and even was given her own spinoff solo film.
Yung’s casting marks the latest major Marvel character to be introduced in Daredevil’s next season, as Jon Bernthal was previously cast as Frank Castle, the Punisher.
Season 2 of Daredevil will hit Netflix in 2016.

Elodie Yung isnt pretty enough for the role of Electra. another foriegn actress, french, but lived in london. She sounds english. Said she has a black belt in karate , so that is maybe what got her the role.
Jon will make a interesting Punisher

Hmm, I didn't know that. Supposedly Jon blew them away as Punisher and they are considering making a Punisher season on Netflix.

Well have to wait and see what he and they did with the character.
And about Elektra I was refering to the original comic written and drawn by frank miller in late 80's/ it was in Daredevil 178-189
