Jon Bernthal's 'Punisher' returning for May 12 special
- On Tuesday, Marvel Studios announced that the standalone special 'Punisher: One Last Kill' will debut on Disney+ on May 12, the same day as the 'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 finale.
- Marvel is utilizing the 'special presentation' branding for this project, signaling a distinct tone similar to the 'similarly gory Werewolf By Night' to differentiate the release.
- Leaked set images suggest the plot involves Frank Castle encountering Isabella Carmela Magdalena 'Ma' Gnucci, a mafia boss whom comic fans recognize as seeking vengeance for her sons' murders.
- Although Jon Bernthal returns for the special, he will not appear in 'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2, despite originally debuting as the character in Netflix's 2016 'Daredevil' series.
- Beyond the special, Bernthal is set to reprise his role in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' arriving in theaters on July 31 alongside actor Tom Holland.
