Jon Bernthal has addressed his potential future as Punisher in the MCU – and, whatever form that may take, he wants to make sure it’s done right.
“I think there’s a reason why that character has resonated as deeply and strongly as he has, in the hearts and minds of comic book fans and first responders and people in the military and people all over the globe,” Bernthal toldCollider.
“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.”
Along with Bernthal, he’ll be joined by Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, AKA Kingpin.Moon KnightandLoki season 2helmers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead will serve as lead directors.
