There is so much excitement and hype building up that it’s unreal. No release date out thus far. But the just released teaser video have revealed a synopsis that explains to us that The Punisher will embark on a mission to uncover a huge conspiracy that the CIA is trying to cover up. But Frank’s no fool. He is determined to get the truth out and make it known no matter how hard the CIA tries to destroy it. Hence the tagline shown in this awesome poster, “The Truth Must Be Taken.”

Also released is a collection of screenshots showing Karen (Deborah Ann Woll), Billy (Ben Barnes), Dinah (Amber Rose Revah), Micro (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and above all Punisher (Jon Bernthal) who is seen as a homeless man at first. But then he met Micro and eventually took up the mantle of the skull once more to give villains like Billy and Rawlins (not shown in the screenshots) the Ultimate Punishment.

Is that Micro trying to get a hold of Punisher?

He sure is. He's looking out for Frank. And helping him punish crooks. — He sure is. He’s looking out for Frank. And helping him punish crooks.

And finally there’s the show’s official synopsis “After exacting revenge on those responsible for the death of his wife and children, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) uncovers a conspiracy that runs far deeper than New York’s criminal underworld. Now known throughout the city as The Punisher, he must discover the truth about injustices that affect more than his family alone.”
Man. How long can we hold our excitement before the show gets finally released?

About the author

Why does The Punisher play the harp?

It’s easy to imagine The Punisher shooting up criminal hideouts and blowing off the heads of thugs and mob bosses as the ultimate punishment for their crimes. But it’s hard to imagine (and believe) that there is also very gentle side to The Punisher no one knows about except for The Defenders (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist), Microchip (aka David Linus Liberman), and Spider-man (aka Peter Parker) who actually saw and became amazed at him doing something no one has ever thought he could do with his violent hands– play the harp. A gentle stringed musical instrument no one could ever believe that The Punisher would have such talent and ability to use his otherwise destructive hands to gently and tenderly pluck and caress its strings.

Indeed, it’s very hard to imagine and believe that the Punisher’s violent hands that brake bones, strangle necks, and punch out guts are the very same hands that softly and tenderly pluck, caress, and gracefully sweep across the strings of the harp.

Why does he do it, you asked? Because Frank is doing this in memory of his family whom he communes with through songs, poems, and prayers as he gracefully wave his battle-scarred arms and hands across the strings to fill his private family shrine with harp music that moves The Punisher to joyful tears.

Where did the Idea of The Punisher and his Harp come from?

It’s a concept I, Sherry Konkus made up myself. It combines my new found obsession with The Punisher that I had since 2014 and my life long love for the harp. It is the very best concept I ever made. This is my version of The Punisher from Marvel Comics who is portrayed by me as the punishing harpist who plays the harp in memory of his late family who got killed by a criminal mob years ago and whenever he needs a break from waging a one man war against organized crime.

The Punisher was created by Gerry Conway with the help of artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru. His name coined by Stan Lee. The Punisher is owned and trademarked by MARVEL.

The idea, concept, and inspiration behind The Punisher’s portrayal as The Punishing Harpist who plays the harp in memory of his family is in fact my own. Sweetest. Idea. Ever.
