Look out, Marvel fans, because Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle will return in The Punisher: One Last Kill special presentation – coming to Disney+ this May.
It’s been a minute since we last heard new details about the upcoming Punisher special presentation on Disney+. After his glorious return in the first season of Daredevil: Born Again, Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle is once again one of the MCU’s favorite heroes. This summer, he is taking over the MCU in Spider-Man: Brand New Day alongside Peter Parker’s wall-crawler. But at long last, Marvel has revealed the title of the special one-off adventure and when it will air.
Get ready, Marvel fans, because Frank Castle will make his epic return in The Punisher: One Last Kill. The special presentation has been revealed to be Marvel’s longest “Special Presentation” project, clocking in at 60 minutes. What’s more, the one-off special will be hitting Disney+ on May 12…just after the second season of Daredevil wraps up. Check out the official poster below.
THE SERIES
Reinaldo Marcus Green directs The Punisher: One Last Kill and co-writes the screenplay with Jon Bernthal, who plays Frank Castle in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Joining Bernthal in the upcoming Disney+ special are Jason R. Moore, Roe Rancell, and Mila Jaymes, with Chelsea Brea, Dominick Mancino, Evelyn O. Vaccaro, and Tom Johnson contributing to the cast.
“I care very deeply about Frank, I’m really grateful that I’m getting the opportunity to tell the story that I think the fans deserve,” Bernthal said recently. “We’re giving it our all, and we’re trying to tell a Frank Castle story that we’re going to turn our back on the audience — it’s not going to be easy, it’s not going to be light.”
RELEASE
So, the summer of 2026 is officially the summer of The Punisher. With his special presentation hitting the small screen on May 12 and his big screen debut coming in July, Frank Castle is back with a vengeance. The recently released Spider-Man trailer revealed both Frank and Spidey simultaneously chasing an armored car through the streets of New York City. However, before Frank can cause too much havoc, the wall-crawler takes away his battle van and covers his mouth with webbing before he can escalate the film’s rating to an adult-only affair!
How their encounter will play out beyond that remains to be seen, but Marvel fans are excited and rightfully so. So, get ready to experience the summer of The Punisher. With his lethal edge, vicious tongue, and all guns blazing approach, The Punisher is here to take the fight to the MCU, and we are here for it one hundred percent. Good luck, Frank!
The Punisher: One Last Kill explodes onto Disney+ on May 12.
