Ghost Rider And Punisher Audition Videos Surface

Marvel has multiple television properties in the works, including a new season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and their new Punisher series on Netflix, which spins out of their well received Daredevil series.

Jon Bernthal was stellar in his performance as the gun-toting character, and the studio has already started the search for additional cast members for the show. A number of audition tapes have started to surface online for the anticipated project and seem to focus on a time earlier in Frank Castle's career as a soldier in the marines (via ComicBookMovie).

The first video is of actor Louis Herthum (via AKA Talent Agency), and the dialogue involves a classified mission to retrieve Raheem Bonta and his associates for interrogation purposes. The second video for the same role features actor James Frain (via SugarSkyPictures). The situation they describe seems similar to the one that came up in court during the second season of Daredevil, so fans will possibly get to see how that situation actually played out.

The next video features someone teased at the end of Daredevil. Micro is the man responsible for crating the more hi-tech elements of Punisher's arsenal. His audition comes courtesy of Dennis Landstrom (via Peter Hulne).

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will feature a few new characters as well, including Robbie Reye's Ghost Rider. Carlos Miranda, who actually went on to gain the role this season, was featured in an audition tape earlier this year.

The part of Hugo was up for grabs, and Poncho Hodges' take on the role is viewable below (via Prestige Talent Agency).

The Punisher has no release date as of yet , while Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D returns to ABC on September 20th.
