Jon Bernthal Confirms Punisher Return in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ at Disney+
variety.comJordan Moreau Watch out, MCU: The Punisher is back. Jon Bernthal is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the gun-toting vigilante for the upcoming Disney+ series “Daredevil: Born Again.” After news first broke on March 7 of Bernthal’s return as the character, he posted an image of himself as The Punisher to his Instagram, while also sharing a clip on the official “Real Ones With Jon Bernthal” YouTube channel titled “Frank Castle is back.” Frank Castle, a.k.a.
the Punisher, was first introduced in Netflix’s mini universe of street-level Marvel characters. He debuted in Season 2 of “Daredevil” in 2016, then went on to star in his own, self-titled spinoff that ran for two seasons. “Daredevil: Born Again” will mark the first appearance of Punisher since the spinoff was canceled by Netflix in 2019 after Season 2 debuted.
Since then, all of Netflix’s more mature Marvel shows, including “Daredevil,” “Jessica Jones,” “Luke Cage,” “Iron Fist” and “The Defenders,” have moved to Disney+.
They joined other adult superhero fare, like Fox’s R-rated “Deadpool” films and “Logan,” on the family-friendly Disney streamer.
