In Daredevil: Born Again, the gritty world of New York’s vigilantes and corrupt power structures is back in full swing. The show’s third episode delivers a shocking twist when Hector Ayala, aka White Tiger, is killed shortly after his acquittal, leaving fans to question the true identity of the killer.

Times are great for The Punisher fans as a show focusing on Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle aka the Punisher has now been confirmed.

At the SXSW premiere of his film 'The Accountant 2,' the star opened up about getting the "opportunity to tell the story that I think the fans deserve" with a new Punisher project.

The return of Jon Bernthal's Punisher in a Disney+ special may push the MCU's limits on cold brutality. Bernthal promises his Punisher will maintain its dark tone and complexity, assuring fans of a faithful adaptation. Bernthal's portrayal of the Punisher is highly acclaimed, giving fans hope for the character's future in the MCU.

Marvel star Jon Bernthal has teased his upcoming Punisher special – and it sounds like it's going to be as dark and gritty as the Netflix version. “I care very deeply about Frank, I’m really grateful that I’m getting the opportunity to tell the story that I think the fans deserve.

Expect plenty of fan-pleasing violence and darkness from Marvel's upcoming one-shot special for the Punisher in 2026.

It’s going to be dark; Frank has no interest in breaking it will not be Punisher-lite, I promise you that," says Bernthal on his Daredevil spin-off.
