New Clip From THE PUNISHER Season 2 Features Jigsaw in Therapy
Yeah, I know that the villain of The Punisher season two, Billy Russo, will not go by the name of Jigsaw in the series. But, he’s still basically Jigsaw, so I’ll just keep calling him that because every great villain need a good sinister name.
Anyway, Netflix has released a clip for the upcoming season that put the focus on Ben Barnes’ character as he is in therapy. It offers us a glimpse into his state of mind, and this is the session where the therapist talks about creating a mask for himself.
As you know, Frank Castle jacked Billy up in the first season, and the affects of that are going to haunt him and fuel his hate and evilness.
Former marine-turned-vigilante Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) has been living a quiet life on the road until he suddenly becomes embroiled in the attempted murder of a young girl (Giorgia Whigham). As he is drawn into the mystery surrounding her and those in pursuit of the information she holds, Castle attracts a new target on his back as new and old enemies force him to confront whether he should accept his destiny and embrace a life as The Punisher.
There’s another villain that’s being introduced to the series named John Pilgrim, who is described as an alt-right Christian Fundamentalist. He’s also said to be "a man whose calm exterior belies a ruthless interior. Despite having left behind a life of violence, circumstances will force him to use his old skills and bring him into Frank Castle’s world."
Floriana Lima will play Krista Dumont, "a smart, compassionate, and driven psychotherapist for military veterans." Giorgia Whigham will play Amy Bendix, "a street-smart grifter with a mysterious past."
Then there's Corbin Bernsen, who is set to play Anderson Schultz, "an extremely wealthy man who’s grown accustomed to getting his way. His power and legacy are of prime importance, and he’ll implement less-than-legal means to further those ends." Annette O’Toole will be taking on the role of the conniving Eliza Schultz, "Anderson’s equally manipulative wife." Amber Rose Revah and Jason R. Moore are also set to return to the series.
The Punisher Season 2 is set to drop on Netflix on Friday, January 18th.
