Jon Bernthal's The Punisher is right up there alongside Charlie Cox's Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin as one of the most popular actor-character pairings to come out from Netflix's now-defunct Marvel TV shows. After Marvel picked up the Defenders Saga on top of confirming a new Daredevil series, fans wondered if they'll bring Bernthal back too. And, it appeared that this was finally going to happen for a while.
The Ahsoka actor, Rosario Dawson, was at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo where she let it slip that John Bernthal is also part of MCU's plans going forward.
Here's what Dawson had to say about a potential Bernthal return as The Punisher:
I found out yesterday that The Punisher was happening again so I feel like it's my second chance. It's the only one of the shows that I wasn't in and I love Jon Bernthal so let's all make it happen collectively, guys.
