Jon Bernthal flatly refuses to say goodbye to Frank Castle. He admitted the Punisher has grown too familiar to him, so closing this bloody chapter isn't something he wants to do right now — he almost sounds wistful about it. No specifics on a solo project have been offered, yet Bernthal is 100% certain Marvel is cooking something for the brutal vigilante; he trusts the studio will keep him in play. The image has clung to him since the days of "Daredevil," e.g., the recent hard‑edged special "The Last Kill" only reinforced that connection — i.e., the role feels embedded. Expect Frank Castle’s next big screen turn on July 31, 2026, in the new superhero film "Spider-Man: A New Day."
