Viewers first saw the Punisher character in last year’s Daredevil: Born Again, where he had a refreshed, tougher appearance as part of the Defenders Saga. Now, Marvel Studios suggests the character will be getting an even more significant makeover for his upcoming standalone presentation, promising a grittier and more intense portrayal of the R-rated hero.

As Andy Serkis and his team – including producers Jackson, Philippa Boyens, and Fran Walsh – prepare for filming in New Zealand, Ian McKellen, who plays Gandalf, shared exciting details about the cast and how the movie will be made at London’s ‘For the Love of Fantasy’ event.

Recent horror films tend to be either overly complex and stylish, or intentionally cheesy and ridiculous. That’s why Primate feels surprisingly refreshing. Its story is incredibly simple – a chimpanzee goes wild and starts killing people – and the movie gets straight to the point. The beginning quickly establishes the main characters and their relationships, making it clear who’s likely to be in danger. Once the chimp attacks, the group traps themselves in a swimming pool, hoping the animal can’t swim. Like the classic film Cujo, Primate is essentially a story about being cornered and trying to survive a terrifying situation.

The first season of A Thousand Blows introduces us to three central characters whose lives become intertwined in 1880s East London. Hezekiah Moscow, a Jamaican immigrant, comes to London expecting a job training lions, but ends up performing as the “Wild Man of Africa.” He quickly gains notoriety through underground boxing, where he meets Mary Carr, the head of the Forty Elephants, a powerful all-female gang. Mary is looked after by Sugar Goodson, a fiercely volatile crime boss and boxing champion who has a complex personality – he’s capable of both great kindness, like caring for abandoned children, and extreme violence towards those who neglect them. Both Sugar and Hezekiah are attracted to Mary, but she clearly prefers Hezekiah, fueling Sugar’s rage. The show is particularly notable for the range of angry expressions actor Graham uses during arguments with Hezekiah, Mary, or his brother, Treacle – a grounded family man who embodies the life Sugar could have had if he weren’t consumed by self-hatred.
