It's coming straight from the mouth of one of Born Again's producers as part of an official interview for Empire.
Kgaset2025-11-20 12:52
I did read the article. My statement stands. People in similar positions have lied before in order to cover up an appearance.
That being said, I won't be surprised if I don't see him.
imtalkintou2025-11-20 12:54
People have never lied about their upcoming movies to keep something a surprise?
AdditionalBanana95852025-11-20 13:03
Jon has said nothing about appearing. He has, however, had a stacked schedule with The Odyssey, followed immediately by his special, followed immieatedly by BND. I don't see when he would've had the time to film anything for Born Again.
Also, what reason would there be to keeping him a secret? He was hardly in season 1, yet he was heavily advertised. If he were in it, it'd come as a surprise to no one and would be of greater benefit for Marvel to say that he is. Clearly, the big outside name for season 2 that is being pushed is Jessica, and that's all they really have time for with one less episode and twice as much story to tell.
imtalkintou2025-11-20 13:05
So again, he couldn't lie to keep it a secret?
I'm not saying he'll be in it at all, but for you to just blatantly believe he won't be is foolish. There is always a chance.
AdditionalBanana95852025-11-20 13:19
Again, he's said nothing, not even a lie. The one who did is Born Again's producer. Sure, there's always a chance. I'll be the first to champion chances, but in this instance, it's next to impossible due to scheduling alone.
Kgaset2025-11-20 13:19
...okay? I've already given you the reason. You don't need to agree with me, but you also have nothing to say that I'm wrong. Heck, I'm not even trying to argue with you here, I've already stated I wouldn't be surprised if this is true, all I'm saying is that I'm skeptical and that I'll believe it when I see it.
Resident_Society15942025-11-20 12:31
Man, I was really hoping to see him with Daredevil and the rest of the Defenders. At least we'll see him in the special and Brand New Dayy
l_l_l-illiam2025-11-20 17:08
I can't imagine a situation where Frank would have any patience for that many personalities. He barely likes operating with Daredevil, and Daredevil despises having to work with The Punisher. As their counterparts, they're frenemies, but as their vigilante selves, it's a different story
That said, I'd like to see Frank and Jessica Jones getting a drink
GranolaCola2025-11-21 00:41
Are any Defenders besides Jessica actually confirmed?
IndependentIntention2025-11-20 12:34
Looks like he's afk for BND and his special
MarvelsGrantMan1362025-11-20 12:34
Producer Sana Amanat confirmed he won’t be in S2.
His TV special still doesn’t have a release date but it’s coming out sometime in 2026
i_like_cake_962025-11-20 12:44
what special?
Is it going to me a movie length production for Disney+...?
AS24452025-11-20 12:45
Just a tv special idk if its a one off or multiple seasons.
chocolateapot2025-11-20 12:52
It wouldn't be a special if it has multiple seasons
gonfr2025-11-20 12:52
Like werewolf by night
te_un2025-11-20 12:54
Kinda like a long tv eps most likely. The two specials we've had so far were the Werewolf by night and the GotG christmas special. Which were 53 and 42 minutes long so most likely around that mark for the Punisher special aswel.
i_like_cake_962025-11-20 12:59
I really enjoyed Werewolf by night,l if we get something of that quality, i would be hyped.

themisc2025-11-20 15:20

Psych-roxx2025-11-20 14:20
I believe that was a misunderstanding. Giachinno said he was working in another directorial capacity for something, not that it was for Werewolf By Night or even Marvel.

brasco9752025-11-20 15:16
You might be happy to know that Bernthal is also cowriting the special presentation. He also wrote the scene in born again where Matt first comes to talk to him
Dooby_Ashtray2025-11-20 21:34
Christmas special
Paperchampion232025-11-20 17:19
Definitely June 2026. Season 2 of Born Again will end by May 2026 and Spider-Man comes out that July.
WheresMyBrakes2025-11-21 02:22
He’s gonna get (anti-)hero’d, isn’t he?
waaay2dumb2live2025-11-20 12:35
No quotes even though they say it’s from an interview
SDLRob2025-11-20 12:36
Honestly.... With the special and him being in the Spidey movie... Not at all surprised. Shame tho. Hopefully he returns in S3
PayneTrain1819992025-11-20 13:11
As great as Bernthal is in the role, the last thing we need in the MCU right now is to go from not seeing characters enough to the opposite problem of over saturation.
crimsonmail2025-11-20 13:24
Why is it a shame? He doesn't need to be in every Daredevil season especially when he literally has his own projects. More Jessica Jones screentime which she deserves 🥳
skyesherwood322025-11-20 13:34
yeah yeah yeah. Jessica Jones was awesomeness
[deleted]2025-11-20 13:37

crimsonmail2025-11-20 13:39
But Matt and Frank literally argue and clash with their codes. What actually would make sense is for Matt to gather Jess, Luke, and Danny again as his army because those are vigilantes that are more in accord with his code and makes more sense for Matt to team up with.
And Frank already has his own special and is in Brand New Day.
arthurcurry422025-11-20 15:17
Forget Danny. Danny is done. Bring back Colleen Wing!!
SDLRob2025-11-20 14:16
Shame in that I think the potential storyline of S2 could have seen some really good scenes between Charlie and John.
But, he does have his own stuff coming and I'm intrigued as to how Punisher & Spiderman will mix together.
TraditionalShinee22025-11-20 14:34
I'm more hyped to see Jessica back in action with her signature snark and sarcasm than I ever will be for anything Punisher related.
TikkiEXX772025-11-20 14:50
Yeah don't think they'd want him around anyway to be honest.
Funmachine2025-11-20 15:03
Because he was personally targeted by Fisk's crew and captured by him. Seems like he would be pretty relevant.
anarchyisutopia2025-11-20 18:13
Right, doesn't the end of S1 hinge on him getting captured by Fisk's goons and DD going after him? Is he just going to Poochy back to his home planet in S2:E1?
Rock_and_Grohl2025-11-20 18:24
Well we see in season 1 he’s not really captured, he immediately got out. And there’s also his special coming up, and him being in the Spidey movie, who knows where he’ll be after all that.
Remy1492025-11-20 19:45
He escaped at the end of the season.
IL-Corvo2025-11-21 00:26
Forgot he escaped, eh?
LittleCrazyCatGirl2025-11-20 15:57
> More Jessica Jones screentime
I've missed her so much
nosnack2025-11-20 16:14
Man Daredevil was the best Netflix series, but JJ season one was the best season by far.
CloneNova2025-11-20 18:06
It's probably unlikely, but I'd love to see David Tennant return to the MCU. He plays a fantastic villain
CloseToMyActualName2025-11-20 18:47
Nah, that first season of JJ is perfect, you don't mess with its legacy.
Adorable_Ad_34782025-11-20 16:17
I would have liked a Punisher + JJ interaction.
Competitive_Image_512025-11-20 19:28
Same what a missed opportunity, there.
Insectshelf32025-11-20 19:19
i mean they put him in S1. with the way that season ended it’s weird to not have him in s2.
KwisatzHaderach942025-11-20 16:48
so that post-credit was just to let frank get out, but not necessarily to help matt take back nyc? hmm...
CaptHayfever2025-11-20 19:20
To get him out so he can go be in his special.
thefoodiedentist2025-11-20 18:20
He prolly would cost too much cuz hes an A lister now. Hes a great actor and well deserved.
BladeOfWoah2025-11-21 02:00
Oh thank God, I panicked reading the title worrying there was some sort of controversy and he was stepping away from the role... I'm fine with him not appearing, Punisher is his own character, he doesn't need to be tied to Daredevil all the time.
fanacapoopan2025-11-20 12:38
No, bummer.
crimsonmail2025-11-20 13:25
Best news for me 😁
sk4v3n2025-11-20 12:43
he won't return because he stayed and never left
The_Po_Gamer2025-11-20 12:46
But... why? Kinda felt like they were setting him up for season 2. This feels kinda dumb to be honest.
defiancy2025-11-20 12:52
That's going to be resolved in the Punisher special and the next Spiderman movie
arfelo12025-11-20 13:28
I still don't understand why he's in Spiderman. He doesn't fit the tone AT ALL. And PG13 Punisher feels cheap at this point.
Why not bring Daredevil? He has the similar gritty edge, fits much better with Spiderman and Matt already made an appearance in No Way Home
defiancy2025-11-20 13:30
Because Spiderman and Frank are actually a pretty classic comic pairing. Their differences in executing a mission (pun intended) usually lead to conflict in the team up and it makes for good stories.
CRIMS0N-ED2025-11-20 13:31
How would you know? The movie isn’t even out
DeathKnellKettle2025-11-20 13:33
Truth. It's like wolverine after Logan and Deadpool, Punisher low cal gonna be weird
themaskedcanuck2025-11-20 13:35
The Punisher made his debut in The Amazing Spider-Man #129.
arfelo12025-11-20 14:02
So?
themaskedcanuck2025-11-20 14:06
He has a long and storied connection to Spider-Man so it makes sense for him to be in a Spider-Man film.
Impossible_Front44622025-11-20 13:38
Spider-man was the Punisher’s first ever team up in the comics, and a pretty popular team up overall. It’s the same reason the Punisher worked so well next to Daredevil. The differences in their clearly defined moral codes make for great stories
AwesomePocket2025-11-20 14:28
Spider-Man was the first *appearance* of the Punisher.
Variation_Afraid2025-11-20 12:53
Brother what? they didn’t set him up for season 2, they set him up for his his own special that’s coming in 2026, and btw he is in brand new day
The_Po_Gamer2025-11-20 12:59
I said it felt like they were setting him up for season 2. Also, I dont believe it's a great idea to set up a character for a different project the way they did with Punisher. It's confusing to stop a story part of the way through one show to continue it in a special and not have him come back to the show. It's like how Peacemaker ended season 2 of the show. I didn't like that either.
Variation_Afraid2025-11-20 13:01
Ummm… no it didn’t felt like he was coming back in season 2, and no it’s also not confusing because we literally see him brake out of the prison, it was already confirmed he was gonna get a special and you could of put 2 and 2 together
JayZsAdoptedSon2025-11-20 13:12
When punisher shows up in a daredevil comic, do you have to purchase every punisher comic? Do you even have to purchase one?
Punisher got arrested, broke out, and now he is gonna do his own television episode and Spidey role that probably won’t relate to daredevil
The_Po_Gamer2025-11-20 13:31
Movies and shows aren't comics. You can't have the same feel as them in a show or movie because shows and moive, at a base level, require more investment than a comic book. (This isnt me talking down on comic, fyi.) They are too very different mediums that can't be easily compared.
Tyrath2025-11-20 15:40
Of course you can because that's literally what the MCU has been doing since they started doing team ups.
JayZsAdoptedSon2025-11-20 15:57
Karen Page is in both punisher and daredevil. You do not need to watch punisher to understand who she is in daredevil
Do you need to watch Punisher season 1-2 to understand his support role for two episodes? I gave up on punisher halfway through season one and had no issue
DefNotAShark2025-11-20 15:21
I think to more specifically state why that’s a little weird, where we last see Frank is him dealing with Fisk’s hit squad and being captured by Fisk. His current beef is still the same as Daredevil’s current beef, and if he’s in Brand New Day he presumably doesn’t leave New York. So unless he loses interest in Fisk he’s gonna be in the same city as Daredevil, dealing with the same problem as Daredevil, but on a separate show without crossover. Not the end of the world but a little weird, as if the two are separated by production rather than separated by the story.
Just seems unlikely they’d have nothing to do with each other during all this. Hopefully what we hear is that Daredevil is in the Punisher special, even just for a few scenes, and I think I’d be all good. It makes sense to me Frank would need to avoid Daredevil in order to do things his way but it doesn’t make sense to me that Daredevil wouldn’t find him anyway.
crimsonmail2025-11-20 13:24
Because it's called DAREDEVIL: Born Again. Sorry if that wasn't clear to you
The_Po_Gamer2025-11-20 13:29
Yeah, so if Karen disappeared off the show without another word, that would be fine, too? Guess we should cut the episode on Karen from season 3 because Daredevil isn't in it.
CRIMS0N-ED2025-11-20 13:33
Karen didn’t already have 2 seasons of her own show with a special on the way
crimsonmail2025-11-20 13:33
Karen is a Daredevil character and Frank is not. Sorry if that concept is too hard to understand for you
The_Po_Gamer2025-11-20 13:56
Did I kill your pet or something? I just shared an opinion on the internet. God forbid!
TraditionalShinee22025-11-20 14:33
Did you miss the part where he has his own special and will be in the next Spider-Man? I didn't know it was a requirement that a Daredevil show should have Punisher at all times.
Funmachine2025-11-20 15:05
Yeah this doesn't make any sense. He was personally targeted by Fisk's punisher policemen, captured by them and they are still around. For him not to return is a loose thread.
dpittnet2025-11-20 15:26
Nah, it makes sense to change it up
eagc72025-11-20 21:13
I think they were more setting up his special or Brand New Day
lanwopc2025-11-20 12:49
I'm fine with that. There's no need to put every character in every season.
crimsonmail2025-11-20 13:28
Seriously. Let Matt flesh out his other dynamics and relationships too. I don't care about this news at all, I'm excited to see Matt and Jessica reunite and for the season to develop their friendship more. If anything, the army Matt should be building towards is getting the Defenders back if anything.
Montanagreg2025-11-20 16:12
I would absolutely love that. Always been a fan of The Defenders. You could say I defend it....
Greygor2025-11-20 12:51
Disappointing, but sort of makes sense, he doesn't play well with others and it looks like Daredevil will have a team in Season 2.
crimsonmail2025-11-20 13:29
It would be more exciting seeing Matt reunite with Jess, Luke, and Danny who makes more sense to be his team-up than Frank 🤷🏻♀️
PacDanSki2025-11-20 12:55
How will they explain what happens to him at the end of season 1 then?
crimsonmail2025-11-20 13:29
He literally has his own TV special coming up and a role in Spider-Man Brand New Day?
MCMultyke2025-11-20 13:32
He has a special coming out next year as well as Spider-Man.
FamiliarPotential5502025-11-20 12:57
I'm so disappointed. I'm happy we got the TV Movie and he's in BND but, damn i really wanted more Matt/Frank bitching at each other 😀
Smoking-Posing2025-11-20 12:58
Well that sucks....
YaBoyKumar2025-11-20 12:58
Ah dang his dynamic with daredevil is so good was hoping to see more of it in s2
JadrianInc2025-11-20 13:06
How the hell does that work?
OnceUponABolognese2025-11-20 13:07
I feel like we’ve hit the ceiling with his interactions with Daredevil anyway. They both have non-negotiable philosophies that have already been thoroughly explored on screen, albeit incredibly well. It’ll be refreshing to see him interact with different MCU characters now, like Spider-Man.
crimsonmail2025-11-20 13:26
I'm way more excited for more Matt and Jessica interactions than Frank shouting and grunting at him again 🤷🏻♀️
OnceUponABolognese2025-11-20 14:32
Totally agree! Matt and Jessica’s dynamic was my favourite part of The Defenders.

It'd be interesting to eventually see The Punisher set up as a legitimate villain and antagonist for Daredevil, and their conflict ending with them going their separate ways and never speaking to each other again.
Giovan_Doza2025-11-20 15:43
Two characters that have non negotiable interactions can actually bring tons of storylines and conflicts ( see baan and joker, wich I know have been overexposed, they don't suffer from "what can we do with these characters"). As a simple scene I could give you kingpin murdering an innocent family in front of both, and Punisher grabbing a gun a shooting at him, telling Red that those deaths are on him for not doing it earlier.
Nvveen2025-11-20 16:07
Yeah, it's still the Daredevil show, not the Daredevil and Punisher show. Doesn't mean I don't want to see more of Punisher, just in different settings.
AsteroidMike2025-11-20 16:41
When you put it like this, I actually get why Frank wouldn’t be in this next season, even though Jon and Charlie have some good on screen chemistry. But this just opens up the door, like you said, for him to interact with the other MCU characters. Really the rest of the Defenders too, who should’ve had at least one interaction with someone by now.
EDIT: actually I’m really looking forward to see Peter’s views and optimism clash with Frank’s grittiness.
eyebrows3602025-11-20 13:07
Can't we just fucking wait until we see the show to find out what's in the fucking show? Jesus fucking christ.

black_metronome2025-11-20 13:16

Borosdrunkard2025-11-20 13:17
Ok but what if he returned as Venom?
Used-Comedian-89332025-11-20 13:18
Understandabls, but I hope Kingpin's Anti Vigilante arc isn't over by S2. I really want Frank to join Matt's Army.

Fwenhy2025-11-20 13:27
1) Wtf?
& 2) Considering how closely tied they are or at least have been, I’d call this a spoiler. But I guess it’s just one way to make me even less hyped for season 2. Pretty sure I also had Jones coming spoiled for me too.. (please don’t confirm or deny that xD). I won’t be skipping it but mostly because I’m hoping for more of the Defenders & Punisher. Hopefully this headline is just wrong xD. And a small (but doubtful) hope we get something more like the Netflix show. I really enjoyed Daredevil Netflix.. Disney was super forgettable. Probably seen Netflix’s 3 or 4 times now and I have zero desire to rewatch the reboot or whatever you wanna call it.
Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-11-20 13:34
Season 2 is expected to have 8 episodes instead of the intended 9 of the original 18 of 2 halves. Seeing how the special was filmed immediately after S2 wrapped I think they just gave an episode for the Punisher which turned into a standalone special.
CRIMS0N-ED2025-11-20 13:35
Perfectly fine, we have him getting a special and being in BND. I’m much more hyped about the defenders coming back and interacting with Matt than I am with punisher, let others have some spotlight
TraditionalShinee22025-11-20 14:29
Exactly, cause how many times can you rehash the same Matt and Frank interactions? I'd excited to see Matt interact more with the Defenders especially when I think we didn't get enough of Matt interacting with Luke and Danny in the Netflix show
Remixxx52025-11-20 13:36

That might've been old footage from season 1.
Remote_Nature_81662025-11-20 14:20
It doesn’t matter. I’m excited to see him in Spider-Man. Good enough for me.
wolfinvans2025-11-20 14:40

Impossible_Quote_5052025-11-20 14:46
Wtf? I thought Matt was building an army to take down Kingpin and Frank was gonna play a part in that? That's crazy
eagc72025-11-20 21:11
Considering Frank is gonna be blowing some brains out, i doubt Matt will have him join his team as its gonna be the two of fighting each other over the correct method to tackle things
BLAGTIER2025-11-20 14:54
Hopefully the whole Punisher cop fanboy situation is fully resolved in the Punisher special.
Gog_Noggler2025-11-20 15:13
Weren’t there set leaks with him and DD in the new costume? Is that gonna be in his special then?
eagc72025-11-20 21:10
No, that was Bullseye, we haven't gotten any set pics of Jon and Charlie together since Season 1 set pics
ArcherAprilPikeKirk2025-11-20 15:18
I’m okay with this. He’s got two appearances lined up and we also know that there will be other characters appearing in the season. Do what fits the story. What I don’t like is when there are other characters that should fit in the story that aren’t there, but I don’t think that’s what’ll happen
Bower17382025-11-20 16:11
Unreal
TheRealGrifter2025-11-20 16:34
The less Punisher, the better.
teroric2025-11-20 16:38
Probably takes place at the same time as BND or the special will fill in what he was doing during.
Uncanny_Doom2025-11-20 16:54
The main issue with this is I feel like everyone including me wants to see him absolutely annihilate those dirty cops. If he doesn’t do that in his special then it’s a missed opportunity.
Beyond that though I do think less is more with Punisher interacting with Daredevil and they already had him doing too much when he was openly blasting people and Daredevil is just okay with it. People are saying they want Frank to team up with the Defenders but I don’t. Punisher is not a Defender and he’s not a hero, he’s an anti-hero. In order for him to team up with heroes, someone has to compromise and it’s not impossible to work but it’s generally not ideal.
Sirmalta2025-11-20 17:01
Thats pretty surprising, ngl.
ernie-jo2025-11-20 17:06
Kinda weird that he was kidnapped by Fisk then right?? I guess we’ll just get one “episode” of him escaping in his special and the that’ll be it?
Virtual-Scarcity-4632025-11-20 17:42
The last scene in Born Again, can't remember if it was before or after credits, showed Frank Castle get a key off the guard patrolling that room and it ended with the sound of a cage opening (presumably his).
ernie-jo2025-11-20 17:52
Ooh right I totally forgot about that haha.
Inevitable_Access_932025-11-20 17:18
as long as he's not being replaced that's all i can about
mikehulse292025-11-20 17:29
But…who’s gonna call him Red?
IntrinsicGamer2025-11-20 17:37
I hope we get another Punisher show after the special.
JohnnyBlaze4162025-11-20 18:04
This would be a lot more upsetting if he wasn't doing Spider-Man but we're seeing him on the big screen next year so I'm happy.
two2teps2025-11-20 18:25
As long as he's still the Punisher I can live with that.

That’s because he’s going to be in Spider-Man.
Ginataang_Manok2025-11-20 19:28
Maybe he’ll sacrifice himself in Avengers lol

So if you missed the mid-credits scene in Daredevil: Born Again S1, you have no idea how The Punisher ends up where he is in BND or the special.

This seems weird but I imagine it will make at least a little more sense when Brand New Day and his special are released. Currently he feels very intertwined with the Fisk story

As if

Guess this also spoils that Karen won't be in too much danger in season 2, since Frank would show up to slaughter somebody if she even got a papercut.

Makes sense, sucks but it’s a DD show. Would love a cameo but shouldn’t expect him every season. A mention or 2 should be enough
Proof-Research-64662025-11-20 21:19
I’m confused what was the point of him being captured at the end of S1 for then?

A) I don’t believe him!
B) If he doesn’t show, they’ll probably have an even better cameo, like Spider-Man!
C) Daredevil is so good it doesn’t even need any cameos!

Shame. I love this actor in this role he's just so badass!

That being said, I won't be surprised if I don't see him.
Also, what reason would there be to keeping him a secret? He was hardly in season 1, yet he was heavily advertised. If he were in it, it'd come as a surprise to no one and would be of greater benefit for Marvel to say that he is. Clearly, the big outside name for season 2 that is being pushed is Jessica, and that's all they really have time for with one less episode and twice as much story to tell.
I'm not saying he'll be in it at all, but for you to just blatantly believe he won't be is foolish. There is always a chance.
That said, I'd like to see Frank and Jessica Jones getting a drink
His TV special still doesn’t have a release date but it’s coming out sometime in 2026
Is it going to me a movie length production for Disney+...?
And Frank already has his own special and is in Brand New Day.
But, he does have his own stuff coming and I'm intrigued as to how Punisher & Spiderman will mix together.
I've missed her so much
Why not bring Daredevil? He has the similar gritty edge, fits much better with Spiderman and Matt already made an appearance in No Way Home
Punisher got arrested, broke out, and now he is gonna do his own television episode and Spidey role that probably won’t relate to daredevil
Do you need to watch Punisher season 1-2 to understand his support role for two episodes? I gave up on punisher halfway through season one and had no issue
Just seems unlikely they’d have nothing to do with each other during all this. Hopefully what we hear is that Daredevil is in the Punisher special, even just for a few scenes, and I think I’d be all good. It makes sense to me Frank would need to avoid Daredevil in order to do things his way but it doesn’t make sense to me that Daredevil wouldn’t find him anyway.
"It's your scarf"
*rubs hand over head*
EDIT: actually I’m really looking forward to see Peter’s views and optimism clash with Frank’s grittiness.
& 2) Considering how closely tied they are or at least have been, I’d call this a spoiler. But I guess it’s just one way to make me even less hyped for season 2. Pretty sure I also had Jones coming spoiled for me too.. (please don’t confirm or deny that xD). I won’t be skipping it but mostly because I’m hoping for more of the Defenders & Punisher. Hopefully this headline is just wrong xD. And a small (but doubtful) hope we get something more like the Netflix show. I really enjoyed Daredevil Netflix.. Disney was super forgettable. Probably seen Netflix’s 3 or 4 times now and I have zero desire to rewatch the reboot or whatever you wanna call it.
Beyond that though I do think less is more with Punisher interacting with Daredevil and they already had him doing too much when he was openly blasting people and Daredevil is just okay with it. People are saying they want Frank to team up with the Defenders but I don’t. Punisher is not a Defender and he’s not a hero, he’s an anti-hero. In order for him to team up with heroes, someone has to compromise and it’s not impossible to work but it’s generally not ideal.
B) If he doesn’t show, they’ll probably have an even better cameo, like Spider-Man!
C) Daredevil is so good it doesn’t even need any cameos!
