The Marvel Cinematic Universe is entering its most dynamic and adventurous phase yet, spotlighting a diverse range of characters from mutants to street-level vigilantes. Among the most exciting developments is the return of beloved Netflix-era Marvel heroes, including Charlie Cox’s Daredevil and Alaqua Cox’s Echo. Now, it appears Marvel Studios is doubling down on this direction, with reports suggesting that The Punisher, led by Jon Bernthal, is set to make a triumphant return in a new Disney+ series.
This news, which first surfaced through X user @MyTimeToShineH, has fans of the character buzzing with excitement as the beloved antihero is set to return in a big way.
Before The Punisher gets his own series, fans will get a first look at Frank Castle in Daredevil: Born Again, where he will reportedly play a major role. Leaked first look images from the show have already confirmed Bernthal’s return, creating even more anticipation for what’s to come.Check out the image below.

In Daredevil: Born Again, Frank Castle’s brutal quest for justice will likely intersect with Matt Murdock’s world once again, further deepening the connection between these two iconic characters. This will also set the stage for the larger MCU to embrace more street-level heroes, paving the way for future crossovers with other established characters like Daredevil and Echo.
