Jon Bernthal is set to reprise his iconic role as the Punisher following the first season of Daredevil: Born Again, in an exciting new Marvel special reminiscent of the style seen in Guardians of the Galaxy. Entertainment Weekly has revealed that Bernthal will not only star in but also co-write this special alongside We Own This City director Reinaldo Marcus Green. Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Television, described the upcoming project as a "shotgun blast of a story" infused with the deep emotion and pathos characteristic of Frank Castle's narrative arcs, expressing his enthusiasm for the project.
As Marvel Television gears up to bring back the Defenders to Disney+, fans can look forward to seeing the street-level superhero team—including Matt Murdock's Daredevil, Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones, Mike Colter's Luke Cage, and Finn Jones' Iron Fist—reunite after their stint on Netflix, now officially part of the MCU canon on Disney+. Winderbaum has shared his excitement about the creative possibilities within this universe, acknowledging the challenges of translating the vast scope of comic books into television while working with real-world constraints such as actors and production scales.
