Jon Bernthal Returns as the Punisher

Bernthal stepping into a boxing ring seems only fitting, given his close association with Daredevil, a superhero known for his ties to the squared circle. Bernthal made his debut as infamous vigilante Frank Castle/the Punisher during the second and penultimate season of the Netflix original series Marvel's Daredevil in 2016. He subsequently reprised his role for the spinoff series Marvel's The Punisher, which itself ran on Netflix for two seasons from 2017 to 2019.

Following The Punisher's cancellation, it was unclear if Bernthal would ever play Frank Castle again. However, it recently came to light that Bernthal would indeed be reprising his role as the Punisher for Marvel Studios' Daredevil: Born Again, a Disney+ original series slated to premiere in spring 2024 as part of Phase Five of the MCU. Born Again stars fellow Netflix Daredevil alums Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio, who reprise their own roles as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, respectively.

(Ayelet Zurer played Vanessa in Netflix's Daredevil.) Moreover, at this time, Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson are not expected to reprise their Daredevil roles of Karen Page and Foggy Nelson, respectively, for Born Again.
