Ben Barnes Cast For Netflix's Latest Marvel Spinoff, 'The Punisher'

Ben Barnes has been cast in Netflix's latest Marvel spinoff, The Punisher, in a series-regular role opposite Jon Bernthal's titular vigilante.

His character information is currently unconfirmed but sources are reporting that Barnes will be playing Bobby Saint, the corrupt crime prodigy played in the 2004 film by James Carpinello. We don't know how this will work out since The Punisher killed all the Saints in the movie.

Netflix declined any comments at this time.

The Punisher appeared in the second season of Daredevil and Netflix took the character on for his own series. Steve Lightfoot will serve as showrunner and The Punisher marks Netflix’s sixth Marvel series, following Daredevil, Jessica Jones, the upcoming Luke Cage, and the in-the-works Iron Fist and The Defenders.
