Jon Bernthal on Returning to Play THE PUNISHER in Marvel's DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN - "If We Do It, We Do It Right"
Jon Bernthal has played a lot of kickass characters over the years, but none more so than Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, in Marvel’s original Netflix series. His run was unfortunately cut short, but we can rest assured that we will see him return in the upcoming series, Daredevil: Born Again. Fans have been looking forward to this for some time, and Bernthal is finally speaking out about it, and what he thinks draws fans to his character, telling Collider:
“I think there’s a reason why that character has resonated as deeply and strongly as he has. In the hearts and minds of comic book fans and first responders and people in the military and people all over the globe. I think there’s a little bit of Frank Castle in everybody. He exists very strongly inside me and I care about that character deeply. I also know that it’s absolutely essential that if we do it, we do it right and we have real sacred integrity to the source material and to what is at the core of Frank. I’m gonna do my absolute best to make sure that, if and when we do it, we do it right.”
I believe that Bernthal will bring his best to the role, and give fans more of the great performance we grew to love in The Punisher. Daredevil: Born Again will hit Disney+ sometime in 2025.
