The team of 'The Punisher' is clear: enough of Disney+, let's go straight to the movies

Punisher has had, in his surprisingly long career in cinemas, the faces of Dolph Lundgren, Thomas Jane, and Ray Stevenson, and the creators of the recent The Punisher: One Last Kill are clear about who should be the next actor to portray him in a standalone movie: Jon Bernthal. After all, he has been sporting the skull on his chest for almost a decade, and he deserves the recognition, right?

Shoot first and ask questions later

For now, it’s just a distant idea. Its director, Reinaldo Marcus Green (who made it to the Oscars thanks to King Richard), has perfectly explained what he wants to happen in the future: “I don’t know what the plans are for the future of Punisher. The only thing we hope to achieve is that people want more. Hopefully, Jon Bernthal and Marvel will come together to create something worthy of what the audience wants to see.” It’s not that what has been done isn’t worthy, of course.

And while we’re at it asking for the Three Kings’ letter, Green ended up saying that “Moving forward, I know that Jon and I would like to make a movie, something global that is on screens everywhere. But obviously, that will be Marvel’s decision“. You know, no pressure.

In fact, Bernthal will fulfill his dream in the upcoming Spider-man movie, where he will accompany the arachnid in one way or another. What happens from here is between Punisher, the machine guns, and Marvel.
