The Punisher TV special starring Jon Bernthal has been titled The Punisher: One Last Kill and will launch on Disney+ May 12, the same day as the Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 finale.
Marvel confirmed the news on social media this morning alongside a new poster.
Bernthal’s Frank Castle, a.k.a. the Punisher, who returns as the character in Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, headlines the Marvel special, which is said to be in the vein of Werewolf by Night or The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
Bernthal co-wrote the special alongside Reinaldo Marcus Green, who also directed.
Bernthal first played the role of Frank Castle on Netflix’s version of Daredevil, debuting the character during the second season in 2016. He then went on to play the titular character for two seasons of Netflix’s The Punisher, which aired from 2017 to 2019.
Daredevil: Born Again follows original star Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, a blind attorney-turned-crimefighting superhero, and also features Vincent D’Onofrio reprising his role as mob boss Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin, alongside Bernthal’s Punisher.
Additionally, Deborah Ann Woll returns as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk, and Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Poindexter/Bullseye.
