The character was first introduced in Netflix’s original “Daredevil” series before getting his own spinoff, which has already aired for the first two seasons. Impressed with the special’s first look, one fan remarked that it will be “brutal” under a post by DiscussingFilm on X (formerly Twitter).
Fans react to Jon Bernthal’s Punisher look in One Last Kill special first look
On April 7, Marvel Entertainment dropped a mid-season trailer for “Daredevil: Born Again Season 2”. Towards the end of the trailer, a short clip from “The Punisher: One Last Kill” gave fans the first glimpse at the upcoming special. It showed Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle wearing his usual black outfit, featuring a white skull graphic up top. He could be seen drawing a firearm, a subtle hint at the action that fans can look forward to.
Fans love the first look and expressed the same online. A X user, @RolandKickFlix, commented, “Yeah this is about to be brutal The Punisher back in full force.” Another with the username, @FCBRozy, wrote, “Yeah this one’s about to go hard.” @cjwillprosper remarked, “Wow we are so back,” and @0xBiggs commented, “Frank Castle out with a bang!!! I’ll be there.” Additionally, @SwapnilPranta commented, “Punisher is going to be so epic!!”
Bernthal co-wrote it with director Reinaldo Marcus Green. In a conversation with Collider, “The Walking Dead” star revealed how he ended up co-writing the hour-long special. He said, I’ve said it a million times: Frank is in my bones, is in my heart. I care about him.”
He added, “In discussing what this thing could be and this sort of version of Frank that I really felt that the audience was hungry for, that the military community was hungry for it, the first responder community, the comic book fans, they were really hungry for it. I presented that version to them, and they encouraged me. They encouraged me to keep coming to the table.” The special will hit Disney+ on May 12.
