Jon Bernthal's Punisher is slated for a comeback following the conclusion of Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, in a Marvel special reminiscent of a Guardians of the Galaxy style production.

Entertainment Weekly reported that Bernthal will co-write this Marvel special alongside We Own This City director, Reinaldo Marcus Green.

"It's a high-octane narrative, yet retains the emotional depth expected of a Frank Castle story," commented Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Television. "It's incredibly exciting."

14 ImagesNews of this Punisher one-shot arrives as Marvel Television plans the Defenders' return to Disney+. This street-level superhero team, featuring Matt Murdock's Daredevil, Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones, Mike Colter's Luke Cage, and Finn Jones' Iron Fist, last appeared on Netflix before their transition to Disney+ and integration into the MCU.

Winderbaum previously shared with Entertainment Weekly, “The creative possibilities are thrilling. Unlike comic books, we have limitations in terms of resources—actors' availability, production timelines, and the sheer scale required for a cinematic universe, particularly on television. Despite these factors, the creative potential is incredibly exciting, and we're actively exploring it.”

Daredevil: Born Again, premiering March 4th, continues the Daredevil saga that originated on Netflix, and features returning characters such as the Punisher and Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk (Kingpin). This time, they face a serial killer with artistic leanings known as Muse.
