Netflix's latest Marvel's The Punisher teaser is a first-person-shooter-style run in with Frank Castle that ends with plenty of blood being spilled.

A manhunt for Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) sends heavily-armed soldiers after the anti-hero, but not even their machine guns can save them when The Punisher catches them by surprise.

Menacingly, Frank snatches a mobile camera attached to one of the soldiers and warns: "I'm coming for you!"

Hopefully, he didn't literally mean you. This latest Netflix promo is a testament to star Jon Bernthal's description of The Punisher as the most violent series ever produced by Marvel TV.

"The show takes you on this journey of Frank becoming more and more human again and then shutting off and shutting off and going back to what works for him, and the place where he kind of belongs, and I think that's a place of solitude and of darkness and destruction," the actor explained.

"It's going to get into as dark and as brutal a place as you've ever seen in the Marvel world, I can promise you that."

Bernthal is reprising his Daredevil role as Frank Castle, a vigilante haunted by his experiences serving in the War on Terror and by the brutal murder of his family by the New York mob.

And just because he's fighting a one-man war against New York's criminal underworld doesn't mean that the Netflix series will portray Frank as a hero in the traditional sense.

"I think Frank, when he engages in violence, there's something utterly satisfying and addictive for him to be doing that, and that may not be something that the audience can agree with or get behind," Bernthal recently admitted.

Make up your own mind when Marvel's The Punisher hits Netflix later this year.
