Dude you ARE Frank Castle. You brought a very new and deep take on the character that was never explored on film. Somehow you manifested that animal in Frank on the screen. It's amazing. I hope they bring you back.
Jon does NOT seem like the kind of guy who'd return to such an iconic role if the script was toned down and "Disney-fied" to be more family-friendly. Seeing that he's back gives me 200% more faith in this project. Can't wait!
Hopefully he in his henry cavill bag how he actually cares about the story and script. Disney will mess around and give frank castle a male lover the first scene
As far as I'm convinced he is not scary at all in real life. Granted, I dont think most humans are scary, but Jon Bernthal strikes me as someone like Tom Hardy. Plays hard roles like Tom Hardy played Bane in Dark Knight Rises, but is actually a pretty soft guy in real life. 😂 The real life scary guys are actually not even good looking, like Kevin Spacey, or what his name was. The predator.
I think Jon Bernthal is dishonest about his background and I have receipts. Few things are more irritating than a guy embellishing his athletic background to gain an advantage. He's done many interviews where he claims to be a former serious baseball player... recruited out of high school to play college ball then played pro ball in Russia. He used that athletic background to appear manly and athletic which got him roles... when he's actually a rich kid from an elite private high school with ZERO record showing he was a serious athlete. There's no record of him ever playing pro in Russia, in college, or even high school (see details further down). He says he “mistakenly” took theater in college, but no one takes a course way off their major by mistake. He tells a story about his first theater class where he forgot to bring an important object to talk about so he used his “catcher’s glove” because he had it with him in class, but no real catcher calls it a glove (it’s a mitt) and college players keep their gear in the clubhouse/locker room (they don’t carry it to class). How do I know... I've coached baseball for 20+ years, sent players to college, and my own son is currently a college player. Now for his record… The complete player statistics for the Russian pro baseball league from 1997-2000 (when he was there and including the Moscow team where he lived while studying theater - again, rich kid) are online… his name isn’t listed. I couldn’t find any record of him ever playing for Skidmore College, which is also a Division 3 school that doesn’t give athletic scholarships. I found no records of him playing high school ball where he’s from (Washington DC). In fact, his senior year in the DC area there were 1st team and 2nd team all-star catchers and 17 honorable mentions, so Bernthal wasn’t one of the top NINETEEN catchers in the area despite supposedly being a serious college recruit. I even did a search of all newspapers during his high school and college years… his name doesn’t seem to appear in any articles for baseball, not even a box score. He went to Sidwell Friends, the same elite private high school as Chelsea Clinton, Obama’s daughters, and many super wealthy, powerful people in DC. His parents are/were very wealthy and influential. Skidmore is primarily an expensive small college for wealthy kids who couldn’t get into better schools like Ivy League. I suspect this is a made up story to give him credibility as a former athlete to make him seem "authentic” and tough, and to get more roles. This is pathetic but totally in keeping with celebrity/Hollywood falsehoods and child of wealth making up accomplishments. Why do so many people worship celebrities and believe whatever they say? Looks to me like Jon Bernthal is an entitled rich kid who made up his background so people would see him as a regular guy who got into theater by accident.
Jon Bernthal thank you! I’ve honestly waited 30 years for a good punisher movie / series. The two seasons were… fucking amazing. I’ve enjoyed you in many other movies and when I heard you were doing Frank castle… I was slightly intrigued. Ya freaking nailed it. I’m an old dude so I grew up on dolph lundgrens version back in the… 80’s? Early 90’s? Thanks man 🤘🏼💀
You're ready baby!!!! I know you wanted to wait until you felt like it was the right time to make another one. I cannot wait to see you as Frank Castle again!! You are such a phenomenal human being and a really great actor
Awesome news! Given Jon’s commitment to Frank I cant imagine he will change the character to fit in. Equally Vincent D’Onofrio wont let it happen. Both committed actors performing their unbelievable art. I cannot wait 🙌🏻
So happy for you Jon. And for me, since I get to see Frank again. Your portrayal of Frank, and the great job the team did telling those two seasons of stories were so instrumental to me in dark times, and getting me sober. Thanks for keeping up the fight for Frank. He absolutely has an important place in this MCU.
Yesssss I've been telling you on this channel's comments that this look of Jon is giving me hope that marvel has already contacted him about Punisher's return And here's the official confirmation! I hope they push the limits of the character and explore it's potential in the MCU rather than making it "kid friendly"on Disney!!!!😒
If people aren’t aware. The writers of the punisher are in control of Daredevil Born again. As well as the writers of Loki. So there’s no way his character is going to be ruined by Disney
Hell yeah. The best Punisher actor is back in the role! It's a shame Punisher got caught up in a legal explosion, here's hoping to it getting a full series going forward again.
i put off watching Punisher for the longest time, because it was hard to watch John go from Shane on TWD to Frank castle, but boy when i finally did start Punisher i didn't stop except to eat i binged it all in like a day and a half with a few hours of sleep in between. now my favorite series to revisit
There's no way on God's green earth that any other male actor could make that series that watchable with that script. It would have been a meme superhero BS with anybody else. Thanks Jon for giving us what you gave sir, I appreciate you, and bless your family. Disney please ascend and don't clip your own wings with what you've got here in your palm
I would love to see you return as Punisher. You fit that role perfectly. Just as long as Disney doesn't disneyfy the show, I'm content. Btw, any news on Luke Cage?
Okay YES! My absolute favorite depiction of Frank Castle. Also for everyone belly aching about "Disney is gonna ruin him" Frank Castle isn't JUST hyper violence and anger. He is a DEEPLY layered and complex character all perfectly capture by Jon Bernthal so the idea that he would be "ruined" because we may not see him graphically cave someones head in or shoot a bar in half with a machine gun grossly insults and reduced both the charater and the great actor that plays him. I can't wait to see The Punisher again no matter where he lands.
@@romanj5256 In what way would they "cheapen" the character then? From what we've seen so far they've done a pretty good job of layering and evolving their protagonists and even antagonist as of late. So if anything The Punisher is in pretty good hands. Lol.
Agreed. I trust Bernthal to protect the work he did previously when he works with Disney/Marvel. Sooner they get this guy back on our screens, the better. His introduction in Daredevil was hands down the best intro of any supe across all Marvel products. Series 1 of Punisher then added to that quality. Bernthal absolutely nailed the performance.
@@Chris-i0i0i0 Yes! It's maddening how people just automatically assume since something is even Disney adjacent it will instantly be made terrible. Lol.
A true warriors thinking space includes a book for guidance, physical development equipment, a punching bag is mandatory. Don't forget a comfortable chair for self reflection. Nicely done!
I literally just got done watching it for the 3rd time. Like an hour ago. Then this came across my phone. Very excited. No one could play that part better. He was beyond brilliant. One of my favorite actors.
My all time favorite hero overall is Captain America, but Mr. Bernthal's Punisher is my absolute favorite MCU character specifically. My life became complete when it was confirmed that he's returning. 🤘💀
*YESSSSSSSS!!!* Give me Frank Castle fully in the MCU! Hopefully after Daredevil Born Again we get regular appearances from Frank in other Marvel projects like Armour Wars and Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars! 😁
Please, do not let Disney destroy Frank Castle.
Stand by… The Punisher will somehow be replaced by a “strong female lead” in the near future LoL
@@DragonBiscuit ahahah! hey, you don't say that!

He returned for season 2's stupid antigun ha-wyt supreme storyline. Disney gonna Disney dude.
I thought the same about Oscar issac but then we got moon knight so we’ll see
We need an episode where Jon brenthal interviews the actor for Frank Castle
You mean interview himself? That would be weird and cool and the MCU would claim it immediately for their multiverse material.
So you mean Dolph Lundgren, Thomas jane or Ray Stevenson? Or himself as the punisher?
So you’re saying he should do a solo Q+A?
Frank hates to talk
Honestly thought that’s was this video was going to be a promo for but no just him acting cringey.
I made that skull chair for Jon a couple of summers ago. Pumped to see him with it!
Sure
im ngl Jon Bernthal might be the greatest casting for a superhero character i have seen in a while. He was PERFECT
Hearing the music and seeing him walk just makes me so hyped I hope that they don’t mess him up
“I’m gonna find a home for this!”
N-no wait! *crunch*
Jon Bernthal is one of those guys who is genuinely as scary in real life as the characters he plays on screen IMO.
As far as I'm convinced he is not scary at all in real life. Granted, I dont think most humans are scary, but Jon Bernthal strikes me as someone like Tom Hardy.
