He’s friend not foe!

Netflix is now confirming what we reported last month: ‘Westworld’ actor Ben Barnes is joining Marvel’s ‘The Punisher’ as a series regular, although he will not be playing an antagonist to Jon Bernthal’s titular vigilante (aka Frank Castle), as we speculated. Rather, the English actor has been cast as Billy Russo, Frank’s best friend from his days in the Special Forces. Billy runs a successful private military corporation called Anvil.

Viewers got their first look at Bernthal’s gun-toting antihero in Season 2 of ‘Daredevil’, which dropped last March. Netflix formally pulled the trigger on a Punisher-centric series one month later (although the project was unofficially greenlit back in January). ‘Hannibal’ scribe Steve Lightfoot will serve as showrunner. ‘The Punisher’ is slated to premiere in 2017.
