Jon Bernthal’s THE PUNISHER Reportedly Getting His Own Disney+ Series
Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, is set to make his comeback in Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again Disney+ series. But a new rumor suggests that this will lead to another Punisher series that would act as a continuation of the Netflix show, essentially serving as a third season.
The rumor originated on insider Daniel Richtman, and it’s been backed by other notable sources like @BeyondReporter, who wrote: “The new Punisher series will likely serve as a continuation of the Netflix show.”
This aligns with an earlier report from @MyTimeToShineHello, who first hinted in May 2023 that a Punisher series could follow Daredevil: Born Again.
Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again, set to premiere on March 4, 2025, will mark Bernthal’s official MCU return as Frank Castle. Brad Winderbaum, Marvel’s Head of Streaming, added fuel to the speculation, saying:
"He's so great in that role and I can't wait for you to see him on screen in this series and there's absolutely a future for him in the MCU afterward.”
The original Punisher series, which aired on Netflix for two seasons, received praise from fans for its gritty and grounded storytelling. However, it veered away from the comics’ focus on Frank Castle’s vigilante crusade, leaning more into conspiracies tied to his family’s tragedy.
This rumored Disney+ series could have a darker tone, staying true to the roots that fans loved about the Netflix version.
@BeyondReporter also noted Marvel Studios’ broader plans. In addition to the possible Punisher series, projects like Agatha: All Along Season 2, Jessica Jones Season 4, and even a revival of The Runaways are reportedly in development.
As of now, Marvel Studios hasn’t officially confirmed the new Punisher series, but fans would certainly love to see the story arc for Bernthal’s Punsiher continue.
Stay tuned for more updates, as we’ll be watching closely for any new developments about Frank Castle’s future in the MCU.
