Since the 2015 Netflix series, Charlie Cox's Daredevil and Jon Bernthal's Punisher have become inextricably linked. However, Bernthal recently revealed he almost didn't reprise his role in the Disney+ revival, Daredevil: Born Again.
The actor, known for his role in The Wolf of Wall Street, explained that the initial creative direction for the Punisher, Frank Castle, didn't resonate with him. He told Entertainment Weekly, "Ultimately, I didn't see it. I didn't see the version of Frank, and what they wanted from Frank didn't really make sense to me. I thought it would not appeal to the fans and wouldn't be congruent. It was not something I was really interested in doing. So we had to walk away."
Following significant creative changes after the writers' and actors' strikes, producer Dario Scardapane took over as showrunner. This shift proved pivotal for Bernthal's involvement. He explained, "They really brought me into the conversation," referring to Scardapane, with whom he'd previously collaborated on *The Punisher* series and other Marvel projects. "We really got specific about where Frank is psychologically, where Frank's at physically."**Warning! Spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again follow.
