Jon Bernthal is back at The Punisher for Daredevil: Born Again, and it’s a long-awaited return for fans and the actor.
During an interview with Collider, Bernthal dives some insight into his mentality about returning as Frank Castle, telling the outlet, “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, 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,” added Bernthal, concluding with positivity and optimism about the future of Punisher: “I’m gonna do my absolute best to make sure that, if and when we do it, we do it right.”
Dario Scardapane is the new showrunner on Daredevil: Born Again, while Marvel Studios regulars Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead are now stepping in as the directors.
