Jon Bernthal Explains Near Exit from Daredevil: Born Again

May 12,25(6 months ago)

Since the 2015 Netflix series, it's hard to picture Charlie Cox's Daredevil without Jon Bernthal's Punisher. However, Bernthal recently shared why he initially declined to reprise his role in the Disney+ revival, Daredevil: Born Again.

The actor, known for his role in The Wolf of Wall Street, expressed his reservations about the initial creative direction for Frank Castle, aka The Punisher. "Ultimately, I didn't see it. I didn't see the version of Frank, and what they wanted from Frank [didn't] really make sense to me," he told Entertainment Weekly. "I thought [it] would not appeal to the fans and wouldn't be congruent. It was not something I was really interested in doing. So we had to walk away."

PlayFollowing a significant creative overhaul after the strikes, producer Dario Scardapane joined as the new showrunner for *Daredevil: Born Again*. This change shifted Bernthal's perspective on the project. "They really brought me into the conversation," Bernthal said of Scardapane, with whom he had previously collaborated on *The Punisher* series, and Marvel. "We really got specific about where Frank is psychologically, where Frank's at physically."
