Marvel's The Punisher Delivers Brutal Justice In New Teaser Trailer

Netflix’s “The Punisher” is one of the most-anticipated shows of the year for Marvel fans. While it’s expected this year it still does not have a confirmed release date. But Netflix loves giving a few clues about the new show by releasing cryptic tweets and teasers. The latest one is a found-footage style video where Frank Castle played by Jon Bernthal gives a menacing message.
The lost footage style of the teaser has the anti-hero face a group of armed soldiers with nothing but a knife. He was still able to take them down one by one. But it looks like none of them was his actual target. Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, grabs one of the soldiers and looks straight into his body camera. He tells whoever is watching he was coming for them before shoving the soldier aside.
