Marvel are bringing back their Disney+ Special Presentation banner for The Punisher.
Jon Bernthal will reprise the role that he played for Netflix. The previous Special Presentation’s were Werewolf by Night and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
Bernthal will also be co-writing the special alongside Reinaldo Marcus Green (We Own This City), who will also be directing.
It’s like a shotgun blast of a story, but also has all the pathos and emotion that you want out of a Frank Castle story. It’s so exciting. Bernthal is a generational actor.
He’s incredible what he brings to all the roles he plays, but particularly Frank Castle. And he’s a great writer. He knows the character inside and out…. Also, I love Punisher, but I love Jon’s Punisher in particular.
The idea that he’s in the MCU and can bring that to the greater universe, especially the more grounded street-level stuff, is a huge opportunity and, as a fan, the greatest thing ever.
Brad Winderbaum, the head of Marvel Television
Bernthal will next be seen as the Punisher in Daredevil: Born Again which begins on 4th March.
