This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.Since Frank Castle will soon be getting his own project again in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jon Bernthal shares a new update on The Punisher"s future in the franchise. With Daredevil: Born Again season 1 putting Matt Murdock back in the MCU as a core player, the Disney+ drama has also finally given The Punisher another go in the franchise. But Marvel Studios is only just getting started with Bernthal"s Frank.
In a new interview with Collider, Bernthal was asked about the progression of his upcoming The Punisher spinoff, which will be the next MCU Special Presentation from Marvel Studios. With Bernthal set to be involved both as an actor and creative, the MCU alum teased the following:
[indent] I"ve said it a million times: Frank is in my bones, is in my heart. I care about him. In discussing what this thing could be and this sort of version of Frank that I really felt that the audience was hungry for, that the military community was hungry for it, the first responder community, the comic book fans, they were really hungry for it. I presented that version to them, and they encouraged me. They encouraged me to keep coming to the table.
As we were talking with different writers, the ideas that we were coming up with started to resonate, and I think they saw how much they resonated with me. I got a great group of vets that I work with. One in particular, my friend Nick, he"s just been incredible. I hope that it goes alright. I don"t like talking about these things because it"s a little bit of bark before there"s a bite, you know? I"m honored and I"m grateful. It"s an incredible group of people that we"re assembling.
