Jon Bernthal's Punisher Gets Disney+ Special After Daredevil

Jon Bernthal will reprise his role as Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, in the upcoming Disney+ series 'Daredevil: Born Again' and will also feature in a new special presentation centered on the character. Marvel's Head of TV and Streaming, Brad Winderbaum, confirmed that Bernthal is co-writing the special alongside director Reinaldo Marcus Green. This marks a strategic move by Marvel to integrate popular Netflix characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a focus on more mature content. The Punisher's special presentation will be the third of its kind from Marvel, following 'Werewolf by Night' and 'The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.' While specific details about the special's plot remain scarce, it is expected to retain the dark and violent elements characteristic of The Punisher's story. Fans are eagerly anticipating how Bernthal's portrayal will evolve in this new format, especially after the success of his previous Netflix series.
