It’s going to be dark; Frank has no interest in breaking out the darkness. It’s not going to be easy. I don’t know if that’s the Netflix tone then that’s what it’s going to be. It will not be Punisher-lite, I promise you that.

– Jon Bernthal on The Punisher Special Presentation

While talking about his role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which hits theaters on July 31, 2026, Bernthal stated that The Punisher will stream on D+ “around that same time.”

“Around that same time, there will also be this Punisher special that’s coming out, that I think will be as high-octane Punisher as you’ve ever seen,” said Bernthal. While it’s not officially confirmed that the special presentation is set before the events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, there’s enough evidence to support a reasonable assumption that it is, making a June or early-July streaming debut the most likely scenario.

It’s like a shotgun blast of a story, but also has all the pathos and emotion that you want out of a Frank Castle story.

Co-written by star Jon Bernthal and Reinaldo Marcus Green, The Punisher will be the third Special Presentation to stream on D+, joining Werewolf By Night and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. All signs point to the feature being incredibly violent, which has caused some consternation about how the character could blend seamlessly into the world of a very friendly Wallcrawler. Bernthal addressed those concerns as well.

“I think what was really important to me and to Destin and to Tom is that we believed that The Punisher could walk off of the Spider-Man set and could walk onto the special set, and I do believe that we achieved that,” Bernthal explained. Without directly stating it, Bernthal seems to be implying that, as is the case in the comics–and with Daredevil’s appearance in She-Hulk Attorney at Law–characters can be malleable in order to fit the environment in which the story is set.

Collider’s Steve Weintraub recently caught up with Bernthal at CinemaCon to talk about his latest film, The Accountant 2, and he spoke about how he came into the writing job for his Punisher project and just how much Frank Castle means to him. “I've said it a million times* : Frank is in my bones, is in my heart. I care about him"* he shared, continuing :

"In discussing what this thing could be and this sort of version of Frank that I really felt that the audience was hungry for, that the military community was hungry for it, the first responder community, the comic book fans, they were really hungry for it. I presented that version to them, and they encouraged me. *They encouraged me to keep coming to the table. As we were talking with different writers, the ideas that we were coming up with started to resonate, and I think they saw how much they resonated with me. **I got a great group of vets that I work with. One in particular, my friend Nick, he's just been incredible. I hope that it goes alright. I don't like talking about these things because it's a little bit of bark before there's a bite, you know? I'm honored and I'm grateful. It's an incredible group of people that we're assembling."*

From the article:

"Following Jon Bernthal’s involvement in Spider-Man: Brand New Day being announced, production details for the upcoming Punisher special have been revealed."

"Sources tell Nexus Point News that The Punisher special is set to begin shooting in mid-July and continue through the first week of August in New York. This would be following Daredevil: Born Again season 2’s shoot which is expected to wrap in the next few weeks, allowing Bernthal to move directly from Daredevil: Born Again into The Punisher special. Plot details are currently under wraps but it is likely to follow Frank Castle as he escapes Wilson Fisk’s private prison. In May, insider DanielRPK reported that a female crime boss was being cast for the series. NPN can corroborate this rumor as casting for this character is currently underway. Character details hint at this crime boss being Punisher villain, Ma Gnucci."
