A brief teaser has been released for The Punisher: One Last Kill, the upcoming special on Disney Plus, generating great anticipation among fans of the popular character. Despite its short duration, the teaser promises a good dose of the characteristic action of Frank Castle, played again by Jon Bernthal, which is a relief for those who have been waiting for his return since his last appearance.
The next Spiderman companion
Not only will he return in The Punisher: One Last Kill, which will premiere on May 12, 2026, but he will also participate in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, scheduled for July 31, 2026. This crossover between both works highlights the growing interconnectedness of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which promises to enrich the narrative of both projects.
In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it is anticipated that Frank Castle will develop an interesting relationship with Peter Parker, which has generated excitement among the actors involved. Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man, has expressed his enthusiasm for Bernthal’s performance, stating: “He comes from a very different world, you know, the R-rated one, and we basically brought him into our world. And he really shines in this movie. It’s amazing.”
So far, details about The Punisher: One Last Kill are limited, leaving fans speculating about which aspects of the story will be explored. However, the teaser has already generated renewed fervor for the character and his apparent integration into a broader superhero universe. With Daredevil: Born Again still airing and these upcoming projects on the horizon, the summer of 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting time for Marvel followers.
MARVEL MaXimum Collection is a nostalgic journey that we love. Being able to enjoy 8 and 16-bit games, along with a small selection of arcade games, is a delightful thing. Especially when it comes to licensed Marvel games. But that doesn’t mean that all the games we would like to see in a collection of this kind are included. Many games from later generations, or even some from those generations that have been left out, would have made the collection complete. These are the six Marvel video games we would like to see in a collection. Perhaps not just those […]
MARVEL MaXimum Collection is a nostalgic journey that we love. Being able to enjoy 8 and 16-bit games, along with a small selection of arcade games, is a delightful experience. Especially when it comes to licensed Marvel games. But that doesn’t mean that all the games we would like to see in a collection of this kind are included. Many games from later generations, or even some from those generations that have been left out, would have made the collection complete.
These are the six Marvel video games we would like to see in a collection. Perhaps not just those six, but with others as well, but certainly seeing these six again along with other games would be an absolute delight. Because although the MCU has not always existed, Marvel video games are almost as old as the medium of video games itself, and that’s why we have more than a couple of classics and cult games that we would like to play again.
Spider-Man (PS1)
Developed by Neversoft, known for being the creators of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and the latest Guitar Hero, including Band Hero, Spider-Man is the first three-dimensional game of the character and also the first that truly feels like it allows us to embody the character with his powers intact. With a strong emphasis on wall climbing, navigating New York by web-slinging, and combat based on the spider-sense, it is a game that, although it shows its age as a first PlayStation title, is already everything that the popular Spider-Man games from Insomniac will be in potential.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (PS3/Xbox 360)
The PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 generation stands out for its quantity and quality of action games, but one that went unnoticed was this Wolverine. A violent, wild, and very, very fun game that knew exactly what the character is: a meat grinder with tremendous emotional traumas to resolve. Again, clearly everything we expect from the next Insomniac game, but decades earlier, demonstrating that the technology to make good superhero games has always been there. Even if they can now be made even better.
The Punisher (Arcade)
Punisher has the great honor that all of its video game adaptations are not only good but at least remarkable. But the best of all is its arcade, a brutal beat ’em up where precision, knowing how to control the crowds, and when to pull out the gun to finish off our enemies is essential to achieve victory. An unforgiving game and, for many, one of the best beat ’em ups in history. And they have good reasons to think so.
Hulk Ultimate Destruction (GC/PS2/Xbox)
Hulk is a mistreated character in cinema, comics, and video games. But Hulk Ultimate Destruction is an incredibly enjoyable game and the best Hulk game ever made to date. It gives us an open world where Hulk must fight his way to achieve his goals, all we have to do is what its title promises: total destruction of everything that stands in our way. Is it elegant or diverse? No. Is it fun? Absolutely.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes (PS3/X360/WiiU/PS4/XOne/Switch/PC)
For a lot of people, LEGO games have lost some of their charm. We don’t blame them. They peaked at some point during the first half of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One generation, and since then, they have only gone downhill. One of the best is Lego Marvel Super Heroes, a game that perfectly mixes a multitude of characters with different powers, spectacular set pieces, and practically infinite collectibles exactly the way Marvel game fans want: in abundance.
Blade (GBC)
The most particular game on this list, but also the most interesting to highlight. One of the few Blade games, and it knew how to exploit the possibilities of the Game Boy Color in a surprisingly complex and technical beat ’em up for the limitations of the time and the console, with large and detailed characters, and a combat system that, although simple, still feels tremendously modern today.

Jon Bernthal returns as Frank Castle in future Marvel productions, a piece of news that excites fans of the character, known as The Punisher. His fierce and complex portrayal has left an indelible mark on the comic book universe. However, this return raises the question of how the character will be portrayed in the future, especially after Disney’s acquisition of Marvel.
A character addicted to violence
In this context, it is an opportune moment to remember one of the most iconic video games of the character: The Punisher, released in 2005 by Volition. This title was not only a success but also marked a milestone in the genre by incorporating notorious combat mechanics, such as the use of human shields, ultra-violent executions, and extreme interrogations, elements that highlight the inherent violence of the character. Inspired by the successful Max Payne series, the game not only replicated its style but also added a narrative and a much darker and macabre approach.
The game allowed players to experience the brutality of Frank Castle in a third-person shooting environment, where executions included extreme tortures, such as the use of nail guns and cremations. This graphic representation of the character aligns with the comics, but raises questions about whether such visions will continue under Disney’s direction.
The return of Bernthal as The Punisher is indicative of the sustained interest in the character, while also suggesting that we may not see such a grim representation in Marvel’s narrative elements in the future. The comparisons with other video game titles about the character, such as The Punisher: No Mercy and The Punisher: The Ultimate Payback, lead us to reflect on how extreme violence faces restrictive barriers in the Disney era.
