We’re getting a first look at Jon Bernthal’s return as (a bloody) Frank Castle (aka Punisher) in new set photos of Daredevil: Born Again, the upcoming Marvel/Disney+ series, which is currently filming in New York City. In the new photos, we see Bernthal’s Punisher alongside Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock.
Bernthal first played the Frank Castle role on Netflix’s version of Daredevil, debuting the character during second season in 2016. He then went on to play the titular character for two seasons of Netflix’s The Punisher, which aired from 2017-19.
Daredevil: Born Again follows original star 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, along Bernthal’s Punisher.
Daredevil: Born Again also stars Michael Gandolfini, Sandrine Holt and Margarita Levieva.
Following a production pause in mid-June due to the writers’ strike, the show underwent a creative overhaul in October which saw the exit of head scribes and episodic directors Chris Ord and Matt Corman after Marvel Studios determined the show wasn’t working. Dario Scardapane (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, The Punisher) was brought in as showrunner with directing team Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Loki). Ord and Corman remain as EPs on the two-season series.
No release date yet for the Disney+ series.
