Netflix's "The Punisher" might already be in production. There isn't much info shared regarding the project since the streaming service confirmed that the "Daredevil" season 2 villain, portrayed by Jon Bernthal, would be the next Marvel character to get his own TV series, but a small detail about the actor's schedule may offer a clue about the status of the project.
The official New York Comic Con Twitter has uploaded a photo that reveals the dates Bernthal will appear at the event. "Due to his Netflix production schedule, @jonnybernthal will only be at #NYCC on Saturday and Sunday," read the post.
