Daredevil might be the most popular show from Netflix's foray into Marvel, but The Punisher was a close second. It's an open secret that Jon Bernthal is coming back to reprise his role as the titular vigilante in the MCU after Charlie Cox came back as Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home, followed by Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk, otherwise known as Kingpin, in Hawkeye. However, it appears that when Bernthal does head over to the MCU with his show, he and the others won't be coming to Disney+.
According to a report from Small Screen, Bernthal's The Punisher series' new home will be on Hulu in the United States and Disney Plus STAR everywhere else. Although this isn't an official confirmation, the site claims that the information is "confirmed" after they reached out to their sources over at Disney and Marvel.
Having said that, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Disney+ isn't going to air The Punisher and Netflix's other Marvel shows. While they were fan favorites, they are R-rated, which is a big no-no for the House of Mouse's popular streaming service. On the other hand, Disney's more adult-oriented shows have found success on Hulu, lending further credence to the earlier report.
