Yesssss! Frank murder everyone!
Pretty much. Punisher isn't a character I care to celebrate.
I mean I'm glad he's in Daredevil, but as an antagonist. Berenthal will be AMAZING in the role. I just don't like celebrating Punisher as a hero.

Not before Defenders, but I'm reasonably sure there were enough viewers to justify a second season.

Yeah I can't argue that. lol Actually that whole game was fucking awesome and one of the best comic book video games released. So many memorable set pieces like sitting up in the casket with a M60 to take out the grieving mafia goons at Ma Gnucci's sons funeral...lol.
...dammit now I want a current gen Punisher game.
EDIT: oh shit, Volition did a stream yesterday of them playing the old PS2 game and talking about it's development!

That's my vote. Just go balls to the wall.
I remember "fuck" being used a few times on Daredevil.

You adapt 4 for 8 episodes, and have 2 be the Vietnam story or one of the one-shots.

Was the Punisher film good? Never got round to seeing it.
89: Cheesy entertainment, but no
2004: Boring, but no
War Zone: Cheesy entertainment, but no

So, March we get DD Season 2. Presumably, in the fall, Luke Cage will be debuted, keeping up with the one spring series, one fall series timetable Marvel TV is most likely going to use.
Then, in 2017 and still using the spring-fall timeline, Spring '17 will be either Jessica Jones S2 or Daredevil Season 3 and Fall '17 might be either Luke Cage S2 or Punisher S1 (assuming it'll even be in Phase 1). 2017's shows could also be a Cage & Jones team-up series or something else. That would mean Spring 2018 is Iron Fist, meaning The Defenders would be Fall 2018. Iron Fist is probably going to be the show directly preceding "The Defenders" considering how all the other shows have building up towards it.
Fall '18 for The Defenders also works with the MCU timeframe, considering Infinity War Part I will set the stage for either the Avengers going cosmic, leaving New York at the mercy of the Hand, or the forces of Thanos, or one of the Iron Fist realms, or the Defenders just trying to maintain order in a New York devastated by an attack by Thanos a la Batman's No Man's Land.
EDIT:
TVLine phrases it like this: "Netflix is thisclose to pulling the trigger on The Punisher, a new Marvel spinoff series centered on Jon Bernthal’s gun-toting Daredevil vigilante (aka Frank Castle), TVLine has learned exclusively."
I'd assume it is not officially greenlit, but it's a sure shot.

Well anyone treating Frank as a out-and-out hero is is getting the character horribly wrong. Not even Frank should really view his actions in a positive light.

Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter are confirming talks are happening but obviously until Netflix announces it nothing is confirmed.
Doesn't Netflix have a panel or conference tomorrow?
EDIT: For reference here's THR story with their own confirmation:

I would say this is all wrong but who knows really. Luke Cage is this fall but Iron Fist already have a showrunner so that will premiere in Spring 2017 while The Defenders comes out Fall 2017. They have to film the Defenders soon. Punisher will follow after.

Not likely. Luke Cage, the show most closest to Iron Fist in terms of development, had its showrunner found in March 2015, with the show likely coming out in Fall 2016. That means about a year and a half from showrunner selection to final show premiere. Scott Buck got the showrunner role in December 2015 meaning, using the approximate model Luke Cage gives us, Iron Fist probably won't debut later than Summer 2017, and that's ignoring the likely large amount of VFX needed to bring K'un Lun and Danny's powers to life. That's my reasons for Spring 2018. Defenders would probably be around the same time as well because of Infinity War and the perfect narrative set-up it presents for all 4 heroes to come together and fight some big menace.

I would be surprised if Cage premieres as late as fall, given that it started production last September and that DD S1 and JJ both premiered about nine months after their production start dates.
I suppose it's not inconceivable that it just gets shelved for a few months to space it out further from DD S2, though.
Also, while it hasn't been confirmed, I believe that that IF casting sheet had filming starting in April, which would put the premiere in Jan-Feb 2017 if it follows a similar timeframe.

Great stuff, DD and Jessica Jones were great, so Punisher should be an awesome show too.
Now if only Netflix can pick up Dredd for a show, to make right what Hollywood keep failing to do.

This.
I also hope they recreate this scene at some point. Could make a good opening for the series.

Edit: ^^ Is he about to slaughter that woman and her husband for making child pornography?
I think I agree. It's cool for the fans, but Punisher doesn't do shit for me.

You're remembering wrong. The Netflix TV shows are interesting in that they have PG-13 language and sex, but R-rated violence.

I can dig it. Not my favorite comic book character, but not the worst.
I really think you are off the mark. Spring 2018 for Iron Fist? Not gonna happen.
Mother Russia is the best. It was great seeing Frank "out of his element" but still in control of the situation.

I wanna see whatever arc is was where that dude dug up Frank's family and pissed on their corpses on tv.
Goddamm even the other criminals were shook that someone could be that nuts.

Season 2 Episode 1.
and let's not forget Nick Fury being the badassest of all
the second Cavella arc. Issue ended with a close up of Frank watching that scene on tv, with the most pissed off face you could imagine. Awesome
Mark Millar is an immature Ennis. Not to say that Ennis doesn't have his childish moments but Millar created Wanted, Nemesis and Kick Ass. Other than the odd joke here and there I haven't see any book or story where I see as much immature shit. As for excessive violence... they are both pretty fucked in the head. When I met both of them I said that to their faces.
Source? That's frightening, the creator of the Punisher sees him as a villain. I am pretty sure Garth Ennis feels the same.
You do realise that Iron Man changed the origin from Vietnam or whatever it was in the comics to Aphganistan if I recall?
