The next Marvel series to get a spin off will be The Punisher and they have just cast English actor Ben Barnes (The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian) as a season regular on the show. The character information is a bit sketchy at the moment but the best rumor I can find is that he will play Bobby Saint the son of crime lord Howard Saint.

Bobby Saint was originally played by James Carpinello back in the first ever Punisher movie (2004) which starred Thomas Jane as The Punisher, in this adaption of The Punisher it was Bobby Saint who took of the whole of Frank Castles family in a massacre at a family BBQ before Frank finally gained vengeance against the Saint family.

There is still no release date for The Punisher series but what we have learnt so far is that the series will also include the character Micro as mentioned in a previous article.

Punisher TV Series To Include Micro?

The rumor has started around the Punisher TV series despite it not being given an official air date and the rumor that has surfaced that the new series will include Micro.

It has been rumored that Marvel and Netflix are currently casting for the role of David Lieberman AKA Microchip/Micro. We are still not sure what stage of pre-production the Punisher is in, but if they are casting for roles then it must be further along than we thought.

The script being used for the Punisher includes Micro but we are unsure how big Micros involvement will be in the series. It would make sense to include Micro in the new series as the characters have integrated with each other multiple times in the comic books and Micro also made an appearance in Punisher:Warzone.

At present this is only a rumor that Micro will be used in the series but it is more likely than not that he will make some sort of appearance in my opinion. What we do know is that actor Jon Bernthal will be taking on the role he made his own in Daredevil season 2 as the Punisher.
