If you’re watching Daredevil: Born Again, and I noticed that not many people are, it should’ve become fairly obvious by now that they’re setting up a return of the Punisher aka Frank Castle as played by actor Jon Bernthal. This was also revealed in the trailer for the series so it’s not a big secret. The character has been part of the series even before the creative change that (briefly) brought back Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Hensen.
Add in the fact that Dario Scardapane was the new showrunner, who had worked with Bernthal on the Netflix Punisher series, and everything seems to be coming up Frank. Scardapane spoke to TV Line about the actor and bringing the character back.
“Jon is near and dear to my heart. It was amazing to come back and get to work with him again. I feel that whenever Frank comes into the story, hijinks ensue and in this story, that is very, very true. He comes in for a very, very particular reason, he is brought in by a very, very particular person, and I think that it will be immensely satisfying — and a bit like, ‘Oh, my God,’ Whenever you put Frank and Daredevil together, all bets are off. It’s a tornado. I mean… we broke some stuff!”
Following recent announcements from Marvel, it’s been confirmed that the next Marvel Studios Special Presentation starring The Punisher will premiere on Disney+ in the near future.
Outside of theatrical movies and episodic Disney+ shows, Marvel Studios has also utilized the Special Presentation format on rare occasions since the start of Phase 4. These entries have typically been about an hour long and exclusively released on Disney+, centering on MCU newcomers and veterans.
During the Daredevil: Born Again promo tour, Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum confirmed that Jon Bernthal’s Punisher is in line to get his own Marvel Studios Special Presentation. This will mark the second piece in Bernthal’s return to the MCU after first appearing as Frank Castle in Born Again Season 1.
While fans have not seen the Punisher since Season 2 of his solo Netflix series in 2019, Born Again is the start of a new extended run for the antihero in the MCU. He is set to be a major player alongside Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio.
Moving forward, along with his solo entry, many hope he will be a part of the already-confirmed Born Again Season 2.
Marvel Studios started the Special Presentation format with Werewolf by Night in 2022, featuring Gael Garcia Bernal in the titular role and longtime MCU composer Michael Giacchino as the director. Released for Halloween, this became the first in a new line of horror projects developed for Marvel Studios. The second Special Presentation was The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
