Jon Bernthal thinks the Punisher is so popular because ‘there’s a little bit of Frank Castle in everybody’
“I’m gonna do my absolute best to make sure that, if and when we [bring him back], we do it right”..
Marvel’s Echo has hit both Disney+ and Hulu, giving fans their first look at a Marvel Studios-produced TV-MA series. Given Daredevil: Born Again is one of the outfit’s next television shows set to resume filming, fans will likely get their next adult-oriented Marvel show before too long at all. In fact, trade reports have said Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle/The Punisher is expected to make his live-action return during the events of the show and if there’s one thing you know about The Punisher, it’s that he automatically comes with an R rating..
“I think there’s a reason why that character has resonated as deeply and strongly as he has,” Bernthal said in the conversation. “In the hearts and minds of comic book fans and first responders and people in the military and people all over the globe. I think there’s a little bit of Frank Castle in everybody. He exists very strongly inside me and I care about that character deeply. I also know that it’s absolutely essential that if we do it, we do it right and we have real sacred integrity to the source material and to what is at the core of Frank. I’m gonna do my absolute best to make sure that, if and when we do it, we do it right.”
