Netflix recently canceled The Punisher alongside Jessica Jones, effectively ending the streaming service's relationship with Marvel which led to other shows such as Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders.

The Punisher, featuring Bernthal in the title role as an ex-soldier turned gun-wielding vigilante, had its second season debut on Netflix in January.

"DEAR @NETFLIX, REGARDING YOUR CANCELLATION OF THE PUNISHER, YOU ARE BLOWING IT!! SINCERELY, MARSHALL," Eminem posted on Twitter Wednesday. The post has received nearly 500,000 likes.
