I've heard of The Rev and Johnny Nightmare as candidates, though what I hear of Rev makes me think it's understandable that Marvel wouldn't be eager to use him.

There's also The Russian, but he's more a goofy lieutenant than a fully fledged villain.

Please let's keep Welcome Back Frank stuff out of the show. I enjoyed Ennis' run on The Punisher but we already have Preacher, I'd like the Punisher to remain a bit dark but not over the top.

War Zone was almost a great Punisher movie but they just made some bizarre choices, though it did give us the amazing

I'm going more by the video game, which features The Russian as a campy comic relief henchman and boss fight.

Season 2 of Daredevil borrows so much from the aesthetic of that movie they probably owe Lexi Alexander a royalty check.

The video game also has Bushwhacker and General Kriegkopf, who could be potential villains. Plus the Gnuccis, though I couldn't see them carrying a full season of Frank.

And Bullseye is probably relegated to Daredevil.

I don't mind there being a big bad in the Punisher season, I hope they stay away from it being related to the original family being killed. Frank works best when he's just a dedicated killer who just does his job. Keeping the murder "just another day of crime in New York" makes it darker.

Though I can't remember offhand if Clancy Brown had anything to do with it in DD season 2.

Yeah, DD season 2 pretty conclusively wrapped up Frank's origin. Everyone involved in his family's death is now dead, he's completely severed his old life as Frank Castle, and he's got the black bulletproof vest with the skull on it.

That being said, the casting announcement of Jigsaw said he's a former comrade of Frank from Afghanistan and now runs a PMC, and there are questions raised but not answered about what exactly happened to Frank in Afghanistan.

Maybe its just me but I hope any future Punisher stuff does something different than Ennis adaptations.

To clarify, here's the known cast of Punisher besides the big guy:

Ben Barnes is Billy Russo, a former comrade of Frank's in the military who now runs a PMC.

Ebon Moss-Bachrach is Microchip, a former NSA analyst.

Amber Rose Revah is Dinah Madani, a Homeland Security agent investigating the Punisher.

Daniel Webber is Lewis Walcott, a young veteran struggling to return to civilian life.

Jason R. Moore is Curtis Hoyle, Frank's oldest friend who knows he's still alive.

Paul Schulze is William Rawlins, a CIA agent.

Jaime Ray Newman is Sarah Lieberman, Microchip's wife.

Michael Nathanson is Sam Stein, Dinah Madani's partner.

And Karen Page will be returning yet again.

They should try to tie the Punisher into the overarching mystical storyline from Daredevil and Iron Fist by making the demon Olivier the surprise main villain.

There are tons of street level criminals that the Punisher could go up against that they could use and have him off. No one could care if Boomerang got shot or Constrictor.

Hard to have a Rogues Gallery when you kill your opponents.

Hopefully we'll the Jigsaw storyline and have Luke Cafe crossover for the best Punisher storyline ever where he got plastic surgery to look black.

It's in Manhattan. Peter sticks to his turf, the Defenders stick to theirs.

I think Peter would have gotten the message about not setting foot in Hell's Kitchen or Harlem around the time they started exploding.

Here is a podcast featuring the director that I believe goes into depth about the issues behind the scenes. It's been a while since I've listened to it (originally published online in 2011), but I think it does have some interesting info.
