Jon Bernthal returned to one of his best-known roles in 2025 by reprising Frank Castle, also known as the Punisher, in Daredevil: Born Again. The Disney+ revival marked a major re-entry into Marvel storytelling for Bernthal after his earlier standalone Punisher series and connected him to the broader MCU’s expanding crossover format.

Beyond Marvel, Bernthal continued widening his screen career with a leading role in the 2025 espionage thriller The Amateur.

The move represented a notable expansion from performer to creator within the Marvel franchise. At the same time, he continued pursuing live theater, making his Broadway debut in spring 2026 in Dog Day Afternoon, a stage adaptation by Stephen Adly Guirgis.
