With the recent announcement that Jon Bernthal would reprise his role as the Punisher for Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel fans have been itching to see any glimpse at the return of Frank Castle. A brand new video shows Bernthal training for the role, with the actor sporting a beard.
Despite a number of photos having been leaked in recent weeks from the set of Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel fans have yet to catch a glimpse of Bernthal as the Punisher. It seems as though the reason for this is because the former The Walking Dead is still shaking the dust off his bones. A new video shows Bernthal boxing with rapper Slink Proper in preparation for the role:
Many fans believe that the shaggy hair and beard that Bernthal is sporting in the video may be a brand new look for the Punisher. While Castle has never been a stranger to some facial hair, including at the start of his own Netflix series, Bernthal often has a beard even outside of his other projects. Only time will tell if this version of the Punisher likes his facial hair like he likes his crime: Cut down to the grain.
What to expect from the new Daredevil series
Little is known of Daredevil: Born Again, with plot details being kept under wraps. Jon Bernthal, Sandrine Holt, Margarita Levieva, Michael Gandolfini, Nikki M. James and Michael Gaston are set to appear in the series opposite Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio. Matt Corman and Chris Ord are writing and executive producing for Marvel.
Unfortunately for fans of Elden Henson’s Foggy Nelson and Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page, it has been confirmed that neither character will be returning for Daredevil: Born Again. The news has been met with disappointment from fans, as both characters played significant roles in the original Netflix series. However, it’s important to remember that the series is still in its early stages, and there’s always a chance that the characters could make a surprise appearance in future seasons.
Daredevil: Born Again is currently scheduled to premiere in Spring 2024 on Disney Plus. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
