Marvel’s THE PUNISHER: Jon Bernthal To Lock And Load For A 2026 Standalone Special

Jon Bernthal is currently set to reprise his role as Marvel mainstay, The Punisher, opposite leading man Charlie Cox in “Daredevil: Born Again,” streaming exclusively on Disney+ from March 4. In the meantime, the actor is reportedly getting back into character for a Punisher special according to the trades on Tuesday.

Bernthal follows in the footsteps of Dolph Lundgren (1989) and Thomas Jane (2004), providing an extensive rollout of the character across several shows, between Netflix and Disney+, including his own in 2017 for two seasons. He is co-writing the standalone special with Reinaldo Marcus Green, who will also direct for its 2026 release, according to THR’s Etan Vlessing.

The actor will next appear on the big screen alongside Ben Affleck in The Accountant 2, which opens in April in theaters from Amazon MGM Studios.
