Jon Bernthal returns as the Punisher in The Punisher: One Last Kill, and fans are wondering if there’s a hint of what’s to come after the credits roll. The special is largely self-contained, taking place around the same time as Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, which just finished airing. This explains why the Punisher wasn’t part of that season, but the ending of this special does reveal the character’s future. Be warned: Spoilers follow!
Most Marvel movies and TV shows have a little extra scene after the credits, but Punisher: One Last Kill doesn’t. Still, it’s worth watching the credits to recognize the people who made the special and enjoy the ending music. Marvel also uses this time to share a helpful message, providing resources for mental health support and suicide prevention – a theme that connects to the story’s main character.
If you’re going through a difficult time with your mental health, or if you’re having thoughts of suicide, please reach out for help. You can text or call 998, or chat online at 998lifeline.org – support is available 24/7. If you’re outside the U.S., visit findahelpline.com to find resources.
Punisher: One Last Kill Was Right In Not Having A Post-Credits Scene
The conclusion of Punisher: One Last Kill feels complete, almost like a post-credits scene itself. We see a genuinely emotional moment with Frank visiting his daughter’s grave, reflecting on her presence and his determination to carry on. Then, the scene shifts to Frank back in costume, punishing a criminal who committed a particularly awful act – brutally killing a dog. This felt like a satisfying conclusion, showing the Punisher was still operating, and adding a sense of closure, making any further credits scene redundant.
It’s already been hinted that the Punisher will appear in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and that’s why we don’t see any setup for his return at the end of One Last Kill – Marvel likely wants to keep some surprises for the new movie. This approach is similar to several recent Marvel TV shows. For example, the final episodes of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 and Wonder Man Season 1 didn’t include any post-credits scenes. Looking at Marvel’s special presentations, Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special did have one, but Werewolf by Night did not.
Post-credit scenes don’t really work as well on streaming platforms because viewers can easily skip to them. Usually, these scenes encourage people to watch the full credits, but that’s not a factor when watching online. In the case of Punisher: One Last Kill, the scene wasn’t really needed; the ending already had the intended impact, and we already know what happens to the character next.
The Punisher: One Last Kill is now streaming on Disney+.
