Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe received exciting news last week with the announcement that Spider-Man: A Fresh Start has brought on board a significant actor. Renowned TV personality Jon Bernthal will be returning to his iconic role of Frank Castle, also known as The Punisher, in the highly anticipated sequel. Notably, this will be Bernthal’s debut portrayal of the character in a big-screen project. Social media was abuzz on Friday with fans expressing their excitement, and even Bernthal’s fellow actor, Vincent D’Onofrio, weighed in on the news.
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe may recognize Vincent D’Onofrio primarily as Wilson Fisk (the Kingpin), a role he recently reprised in “Daredevil: Born Again”. For those who keep up with online discussions, it’s also known that D’Onofrio often engages with fans, expressing his views and answering questions. In light of this, Kyzo Films reached out to D’Onofrio about the recent casting of his TV co-star as Spider-Man. When asked for his thoughts on the matter, D’Onofrio replied succinctly with just two words: “My thoughts?
Love it.
I find it quite plausible that his opinion mirrors the excitement shared by many fans after the major casting announcement. What’s impressive about the actor chosen for Kingpin – beyond his exceptional acting skills and cheerful demeanor – is his genuine passion for the source material. This was clearly shown when he assisted Marvel Studios in making adjustments to Born Again during its creative transformation. Consequently, it’s not at all surprising that, just like numerous others, he’s eager to discover what the future holds for Frank Castle.

Including The Punisher in the fourth Spider-Man movie featuring Tom Holland is a dream come true for many fans, as it raises questions about whether Frank Castle might ever intersect with the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Peter Parker. The prospect of these two fighting crime together on the streets of New York City is thrilling. I can’t wait to see how Jon Bernthal’s Castle reacts when he encounters Holland’s Peter Parker, who usually avoids lethal tactics like Castle does. The upcoming encounter promises to be intriguing!

I’d equally be excited to witness Wilson Fisk in future Marvel films, as Vincent D’Onofrio has consistently expressed his desire to portray the notorious crime boss-turned-mayor in a Spider-Man movie. However, D’Onofrio recently disclosed that there are still legal hurdles preventing Kingpin from sharing the screen with Peter Parker. This is certainly disheartening, considering The Punisher is slated for “Brand New Day” and Daredevil appears in “No Way Home.
As a movie enthusiast, I can’t help but feel excited about the prospect of seeing Vincent D’Onofrio and Tom Holland team up in a Marvel film someday. However, for now, I’m thrilled that Jon Bernthal’s Punisher will have a chance to interact with Spider-Man, and it’s clear that D’Onofrio is just as eager about this pairing.
The upcoming movie titled “Spider-Man: A Fresh Start” is set to hit theaters on July 31, 2026. Until then, satisfy your curiosity about Frank Castle by watching “Daredevil: Rebirth” on Disney+ with a subscription.
