Jon Bernthal, who played The Punisher in the Marvel-Netflix series, is set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in Daredevil: Born Again.
The Disney+ series is set to arrive in 2024 and will feature characters from the original Marvel TV era, including Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio.
Daredevil: Born Again is not a season 4 of the cancelled Netflix drama but a semi-continuation.
Bernthal has seemingly confirmed his return on Instagram, but Marvel Studios and Disney+ have not made any statement.
The Punisher was cancelled at Netflix after only two seasons.
The Multiverse Saga is exploring darker territories, which could provide opportunities for The Punisher in the larger MCU.
Thunderbolts, Deadpool 3, Blade, Moon Knight, and Hawkeye are potential options for Frank Castle (The Punisher) to show up in next.
The Punisher's return in Daredevil: Born Again sets up a lot of paths for him in the larger MCU.
The timing of Bernthal's MCU return is appropriate, given the massive popularity behind his character, and it is likely that Marvel Studios has plans for him after Daredevil: Born Again.
