Even Charlie Cox wants a Solo Punisher Series!

Mar 16, 2016

—

As Charlie Cox looks forward to play the part of Matt Murdock (aka Daredevil) once more when Netflix renews the series for Season 3, just everybody else who loves The Punisher, Charlie wants badly to see Netflix do a solo Punisher series starring Jon Bernthal as the skull chested man with a gun and, in my case, a harp, himself, Frank Castle, The Punisher.

“I know this is something that’s been speculated about, and I have no idea if it’s possible or not possible, but having worked with Jon [Bernthal] I would love to see Punisher get his own show,” Cox said, clarifying that he has no inside knowledge of what shows will or won’t be made at Netflix. “I would love to see that happen. I just think it’s such a rich character, and Jon embodies him in such a spectacular way. I think fans are gonna be overwhelmed and pleased with what he brought to the character. So I’d love to see the Punisher get his own 13 episodes.”
“And if he does,” added Cox, “I’d love to be in it. I’d love Daredevil to make an appearance.”

In other words: Charlie Cox to Netflix: “Do it! Do it! Do it!”

Sherry Konkus lives in Owosso, MI. She is the proud owner of the Camac Athena EX Concert Grand Harp named “Grover” and Camac Mademoiselle named “Ernie.” She’s also the proud author of The Punisher Harp Zone. Sherry is the one who came up with the idea of portraying The Punisher from Marvel Comics as the punishing harpist who plays the harp in memory of his family who was killed by the mob years ago.

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.
