It’s strange to think that, after a decade since his debut, Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle will finally make his big screen appearance, facing off against Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. While details about the wall-crawler's next chapter in the MCU are still being kept under wraps, one thing we do know is that Bernthal’s bruiser of a vigilante will have his own story coming to Disney+ soon after, as a special presentation.
Naturally, the expectation for a standalone Punisher story is that it will be a bloody outing and quite a departure from the relatively family-friendly environment he’ll share with Spider-Man. Well, that's what thought, at least. Fortunately, Bernthal has assured fans that Frank’s rage levels won’t differ between the two appearances. It’s a detail that not only he was set on sticking to, but also Tom Holland and the film’s director, Destin Daniel Cretton.
