As filming for the 18-episode series is still in its early stages, details surrounding Bernthal’s comeback remain a mystery. However, fans are eagerly anticipating his arrival on set, alongside Cox, D’Onofrio, and newcomers like Margarita Levieva.

Bernthal’s Arrival Imminent

Slink Proper, Bernthal’s trainer, posted a video on Instagram that showed the actor training for his upcoming return as Punisher in Marvel Studios’ Daredevil: Born Again.

Punisher’s Role In The MCU

With Charlie Cox’s recent appearances in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Vincent D’Onofrio’s appearance in Hawkeye, interest is high to see how Bernthal’s Punisher will fit into the MCU’s Disney+ slate.

D’Onofrio has hinted that Bernthal’s role in Daredevil: Born Again will not be a short cameo and that he will be “a major part of the [upcoming] show.” It remains to be seen how Punisher will interact with Daredevil and Kingpin after their previous battles and team-ups on Netflix.

Bernthal’s return as Punisher has generated excitement among fans and his former castmates in the Defenders Saga. With Bernthal’s return, the sky seems to be the limit for what he’ll be able to do in the series.
