Warning: this article contains potential spoilers for The Punisher season two.
The Punisher season two is gearing up, with filming pictures from the set giving us a first glimpse at new character Amy Bendix (Giorgia Whigham).
Jon Bernthal returns for another run as the fan favourite Marvel anti-hero, though speculation is rife as to what comics storyline season two will tell.
Amy – seen posing on a street in these set photos with Frank Castle – is described in the show as a "street-smart grifter", possibly deviating from her comics origin.
In her first appearance in 1994's Punisher: War Zone #24 (via CBR), she helped the Punisher back to health for the 'Suicide Run' arc, though her father, a county sheriff imprisoned him. Amy was then taken hostage by assassins, leaving her father no choice but to release the Punisher.
Another possible storyline that it may adapt this Amy for is 'The Slavers' arc, which sees Castle crack down on a sex slave ring.
What to Read Next
Given that she is described as having a "mysterious past" in the show, Amy could be one of the runaways who crosses paths with him, eventually tending to his wounds and leading him to a crackdown of the ring.
The season two story could also involve the Punisher's feud with the Gnucci family, started last season.
Alongside Whigham, season two has recruited a few other new stars, including Supergirl's Floriana Lima as Krista Dumont and Transcendence's Josh Stewart as John Pilgrim, who join returning starts Bernthal, Ben Barnes, Amber Rose Revah and Jason R Moore.
The Punisher season one is currently available to stream on Netflix.
