Jon Bernthal's Punisher is set for a comeback in a Marvel special, following the conclusion of Daredevil: Born Again Season 1. This standalone project, described as a Guardians of the Galaxy-style special, will see Bernthal collaborating with We Own This City director Reinaldo Marcus Green on the script.
Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Television, promises a high-octane narrative: "It's like a shotgun blast of a story, but also has all the pathos and emotion that you want out of a Frank Castle story," he stated.

The Punisher's solo outing arrives as Marvel Television gears up for the return of the Defenders on Disney+. This team of street-level heroes – Daredevil (Matt Murdock), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Iron Fist (Finn Jones) – will once again grace the screen, their Netflix origins now fully integrated into the MCU canon.
Winderbaum previously hinted at the challenges and excitement of reviving the Defenders: "It’s certainly exciting to be able to play in that sandbox," he told Entertainment Weekly. "We’re dealing with actors and time and the massive scale of production in order to build a cinematic universe, especially on television. But it is something that is creatively extremely exciting and that we are very much exploring.”
Daredevil: Born Again, premiering March 4th, picks up where the Netflix series left off, featuring returning characters including the Punisher and Wilson Fisk (Kingpin), played by Vincent D'Onofrio. This time, they face a formidable foe: the art-obsessed serial killer, Muse.
