Billy Russo isn’t doing too well.
The Netflix and Marvel series also shared a promo GIF that cycles through Russo’s looks from beginning to end. When fans stop the GIF at the right moment, Russo can be seen wearing the white mask. The damaged villain does decide to decorate it though, and draws a fragmented face that looks destroyed and tortured. Although his real face only has a few scars from the fight with Castle, Russo has drawn himself a more sinister mug. Speaking with CBR, actor Ben Barnes broke down the mindstate of the villain. “I think what I’m allowed to say is that it’s not just about the physical,” Barnes stated. “He’s had his head very much traumatized in the same way that veterans receive these kind of head traumas and psychological trauma as well, so he’s dealing with both of those things very much in a similar way to how veterans might deal with TBIs from coming back from war and everything.” The Punisher season 2 debuts on January 18.
