With the debut of DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN on Disney+ right around the corner, new information is coming out about the future of the Marvel landscape that started over on Netflix years ago.
According to Entertainment Weekly, actor Jon Bernthal's THE PUNISHER will in fact get his own spin-off, however, it will not be a full series and will be a special like WEREWOLF BY NIGHT.
EW exclusively reports:
"While Marvel continues to plot out a space for the Defenders roster of characters on Disney+, at least one will be branching off to do his own thing."Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle, a.k.a. the Punisher, will officially return after an initial appearance in Daredevil: Born Again season 1, as the actor's gun-touting angel of vengeance will also headline his own Marvel special in the vein of Werewolf by Night or The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Entertainment Weekly can exclusively confirm.
"Bernthal is also writing the script with his We Own This City director Reinaldo Marcus Green, who will helm this standalone special. "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," Brad Winderbaum, the head of Marvel Television, tells EW. "It's so exciting."
"Winderbaum tells EW the story concept for the Punisher special came while filming season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again, which will premiere two episodes on Disney+ this March 4."
Any new Punisher content is always good news as Bernthal is so wonderful in the role.
