Jon Bernthal is returning as The Punisher in Daredevil: Born Again. As per The Hollywood Reporter, The Walking Dead actor is set to reprise his role as the antihero Frank Castle in the Disney+ series — for the first time since Netflix's Punisher wrapped in 2019. The last we heard of Bernthal suiting up as The Punisher was in August 2022 when actress Rosario Dawson — whose character was introduced in Netflix's Daredevil — let slip that information, only to retract it later. Daredevil: Born Again is part of Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is slated to release in early 2024.

That said, other ing characters from the Netflix-Marvel run such as Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page and Elden Hensen's Foggy Nelson are reportedly not part of the cast lineup for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. In the latter, he was seen sporting a yellow-and-red suit, inspired by the classic Marvel comic books.
Back in 2021, Bernthal stated in an interview that he hopes any other iterations of the Punisher character need to be shrouded in darkness. “It needs to be a level of darkness. I think if there's any let-up on that character, you do a disservice to the character, to every iteration of the character, to every comic book that's come before, and to all of the unbelievable fans of the character. This character means so much to people in the military,” he said. “So, like I said before, it's not about whether you do the character; it's about whether you can do it right, and I'm only interested in doing it right.”
Daredevil: Born Again is set for release in Disney+ Hotstar.
