>Marvel’s Daredevil spin-off The Punisher has filled two key roles for its cast, EW has learned exclusively.
First, Ebon Moss-Bachrach (who played Marnie’s hapless love interest, the musician Desi, on HBO’s Girls) will star as Micro – a former NSA analyst “whose secrets may be of great value to Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) and everyone around them.” In the comics, Micro (or Microchip) built weapons and tech for Castle, though in later issues evolved into a villain.
Also, Amber Rose Revah (Son of God) joins the cast as Dinah Madani, a “highly-trained sophisticated Homeland Security agent who is vexed by the Punisher.”
it's fucking happening guys
You think we'll get Barracuda?

-_-
>>86781286
rip in peace
>>86781286
Why'd you have to go and post that?
>>86781286
I'd vote for The Rock to play cuda... he's got a very foul mouth... dunno if he'd take the role tho...
Also
>Ben Barnes was cast as Billy Russo, Frank’s best friend from his days in the Special Forces. Billy runs a successful private military corporation called Anvil.

>who is vexed by the Punisher
That's a weird character description. How does Frank vex her exactly? Does he rifle through her mail before she can read it? Does he play music loudly at late hours on weekdays? Does he leave toast crumbs on the butter dish?
I hear Punisher and rival Homeland Security agent and the first word that jumps into my head isn't vex. Vexing I equate with mild annoyance.
>>86781369
killing criminals as a CIA agent, wouldn't be the worst thing... and perhaps only mildly vexing (as now she's gotta deal with it).
But I agree... not a great word.
>>86781236
>Microship isnt a fat middle age guy
Dropped
>>86781361
Not black enough. He's Samoan and he's got the build and probably the acting chops, but 'Cuda needs to be the biggest blackest sumbitch you've ever seen. Every white man's darkest prison rape nightmare personified.
>>86781396
It's the one thing that makes me a little happy, it means less of a chance of him being a shitty comic relief like micro is usually portrayed. I'm still pissed they put micro in general in the show. hopefully he gets killed off in the middle of the season.
>>86781406
Yea, that was my concern as well...
Know another big nig that's dark as the night, crude and merciless?
>>86781432
They'll fuck up and make him into a lame as villain (like the books...)
>Micro is a woman
What the FUCK
>>86781446
Not sure about crude and merciless.
>>86781481
>I can't read
You're a fucking idiot.
>>86781461
Good, better than the retarded fuckawful comic relief he's usually known as.
>>86781269
God, I hope so. If we do, my money's on Terry Crews.
>>86781493
>>86781504
Yea, I just think Terry is too much of a "good guy" to pull that role off. And Luke Cage's actor, is well Luke Cage.
Ving Rhames? Tay Diggs? Djimon Hounsou?
>>86781432
They're probably going to adapt the first arc of MAX to some degree
>>86781504
Or this guy?
>>86781568
>Taye Diggs
mmmmmmmno
>>86781612
Might make a good Fiddy.
>>86781236
Hmmm the question is is she creampietastic?
>>86781612
get a man who can do both....
>>86781236
>Daredevil spinoff
NORMIES
>>86781286
let him RIP
>>86782258
It is a Daredevil spin-off, idiot. The Netflix version first appeared in DD's series, and that appearance is the only reason he's getting his own show, they're weren't planning to make a Punisher series before DD S2 got released.
>>86782195
>Dolph Lundgren as Bushwacker
Make it happen PLEASE.
>>86782295
>he's on /co/
>insists on treating comic heroes as derivatives of others
nah brah
>>86781369
Punisher is killing bad guys and she can't find a "pattern" to where he'll go next. Probably because she'd rather profile a serial killer or a racist. If you watch the original Death Wish, you can see the same issue faced by the NYPD. The guy is killing people who are committing crimes, the news makes it sensational because more are Black than not, and the NYPD can't figure out the details of who is doing it besides one detective who is sure he knows it's one guy getting revenge on those who prey upon the weak.
>>86782195
The emotionless role Jessica Chastain's lifeless acting ability was born to play. lol
>>86781369
Its gotta be O'Brien. Who else? The vexing is sexual in nature. She likes big dicks.
>>86781481
You're literally retarded.
>>86781446
Might be a little too old now but pic related might be the best option
>>86781236
>Thom Yorke as Microship
nice
>>86781569
So the girl will turn out to be O'Brien?
>>86781406
He's half black tho
>>86781612
Wesley Snipes did drag for a movie, big deal.
>>86782195
Why waste Typhoid Mary or Bullseye on Frank?
>>86784123
Just general Netflix casting ideas not just for Punisher series.
>>86781432
I remember this one short where Micro got Punisher to play a video game equivalent to super mario bros and Punisher got so angry at the game he shot the tv and angrily declared he was going to go read a book.
I swear to God I'm not lying and I really wish I could find it again.
>>86784260
Yeah, I can't find it either. Not even sure what series it's from to look for it.
>>86782195
I didn't want Bushwhacker until this fucking post. Goddamn, Dolph would be great.
>>86784814
I remember it being from The Punisher (1987) series. It might be somewhere in here if you feel like looking for it.

>>86782323
But the show literally exists because Punisher was so popular in the Daredevil series. It's the definition of a spin-off.
>>86782323
>Literally a character spun-off from Spider-Man
Poor form faggot.
>>86784814
>>86784872
Or this series.

>>86781369
Are you retarded? He kills the bad guys but is a criminal and a danger to society so on the one hand she supports him cleaning away the scum, on the other, she needs to catch him. She likely also is vexed by his ability to evade law enforcement and criminals who want his head alike.
You are very, very stupod
>>86781568
>>86784101
Wait Wesley Snipes would be an amazing Barracuda.
We've found him lads. Blade is the best choice!
>>86782323
Punisher literally started as a Spider-Man antagonist you fucking casual. Between the silver age and 2000 almost every single character that got their own book at the big two started in another book.
>>86784880
That's not entirely true, there have been rumblings of a Punisher series for a while, I think they used the DD series to see if people would want a Bernthal led series that ties into the other shows rather than a separate one.
Punisher has had several films, he's a popular and viable character for live action. The definition of a spin off is a character that needs another show to have their own.
>>86785020
I meant that the show was a spin-off, not the character.
>>86785043
Even then it's not really a spin off. It's not going to involve the DD characters, and it's based off an already existent IP rather than one specifically from the show you claim it spins off from. It's very semantical, but I still think it's tough to claim that a character who has had multiple major motion pictures only got a show because of his appearance in another.
>>86785137
>It's not going to involve the DD characters
Except we know Karen is going to show up, maybe even more characters.
>>86781446
My vote goes to Mike Tyson.
