Jon Bernthal's Punisher is pulled back into the fight in Marvel's 'One Last Kill'

  • On April 9, the official trailer for Punisher: One Last Kill debuted, showing actor Jon Bernthal's character set on fire while experiencing hallucinations, with the 60-minute special arriving on Disney Plus May 12.
  • Bernthal first took on the role of Frank Castle in Netflix's Daredevil series, then headlined two seasons of his own Netflix Punisher series before appearing in Born Again, where he teamed with Daredevil to face Vincent Kingpin, the new mayor of New York City.
  • The trailer reveals unforgiving violence: Bernthal shoots at least half a dozen people and throws another off a roof in less than two minutes, matching his Netflix series intensity and the violence shown in Daredevil: Born Again.
  • Bernthal confirmed the Punisher character remains consistent across projects, though violence presentation will adjust with cutaways rather than reducing the character's actual intensity when the character appears in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
  • Marvel migrated Netflix street-level heroes including Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders to Disney Plus, positioning the Punisher for MCU integration as Cox's Daredevil transitioned to the proper MCU, with One Last Kill arriving approximately two-and-a-half months before the character's next appearance.
