That's actually a great casting and someone who could potentially hold their own series.
If there's a downside, it's that there's no longer any reason for Thomas Jane to hold out hope he can have the role again.
We've already seen how antagonistic Matt's relationship with Stick was, over his code of no killing/not fighting a war stance. And he still has fondness for the man. What's it going to be like, meeting someone new who settles problems with automatic weapons? 😄
(Speaking of Stick...I've been waiting for years for him to get played by Scott Glenn. That was one of the most perfect castings of all time.) 👆

Jane was a decent action star. I've never heard a good reason from ANYONE how he was the best Frank Castle. In what specific ways was Jane closer to the comic book Frank Castle than Stevenson? I'm ready to finally hear a good answer to this.
Jane did a very good voice acting job in the Punisher game. Other than that, I wasn't impressed either.
Interesting...Elodie Yung has been cast as Elektra for Season 2.

While not actually Greek - her father is Cambodian, her mother is French - she does has that exotic look Jennifer Garner was certainly lacking in 2003.

She resembles Elektra very well. She was in the running for Wonder Woman, too. Anybody know how well she can act? Also, what is a Greek Woman supposed to look like, anyway? Jennifer Aniston and Tina Fey are Greek, and they don't look anymore exotic than your average caucasian woman.
