Punisher Returns in Marvel Special After Daredevil

by Ellie Mar 14,2025

Jon Bernthal's Punisher is set for a triumphant return in a Marvel special, following the conclusion of Daredevil: Born Again Season 1. This standalone adventure, described as a "shotgun blast of a story," will be a Guardians of the Galaxy-esque production, blending action with emotional depth. Bernthal himself will contribute to the project as a writer, collaborating with We Own This City director Reinaldo Marcus Green. Marvel Television head, Brad Winderbaum, promises an exciting and impactful narrative.

The Punisher's one-shot special arrives as Marvel Television prepares the Defenders' return to Disney+. This street-level superhero team, featuring Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, will continue their stories within the MCU canon after their Netflix run. Winderbaum acknowledges the creative challenges of adapting comic book narratives for television, but expresses excitement about exploring the possibilities within the established framework.

Daredevil: Born Again, premiering March 4th, picks up where the Netflix series left off, bringing back familiar faces like the Punisher and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk (Kingpin). This time, they face a unique threat: the artistically inclined serial killer, Muse.
