Marvel's The Punisher Trailer Breakdown: 8 Things You Need To See

1. Frank Leaves A Statement

In what could, quite possibly, be a nice nod to the 2004 Thomas Jane feature, the trailer ended with Frank having hammered a very familiar looking skull into the floor. While it's likely that it's a scene filmed purely for the purposes of the trailer, it could also be a genuine excerpt from the series - filmed at a point where Frank reopens up his vigilante account.

Regardless of whether the scene actually makes it into the full thing or not, it's obvious that the Punisher's Netflix series will be going to great lengths to fully flesh out Frank Castle history. With fan-favourite villains from the Max series already tapped for an appearance, and with Jigsaw himself clearly being eyed for a villainous turn too, there's plenty here for longtime fans to jump into.

But, even if you're not a massive fan, it's not that difficult to see why the series looks so promising. Bernthal's antihero had a great role in Daredevil, and with his own show fast approaching (with a tentative November release in mind), it's easy to see why everyone's so excited.
