Jon Bernthal cemented himself as a fan-favorite actor following his role as Frank Castle on Netflix’s The Punisher.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Bernthal described the level of emotion and attachment he has to The Punisher, stating that the character had a “real, real, real, deep, deep meaning” for him.
Bernthal says he would return to the role inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe but only if it kept the same level of darkness.
Bernthal said that if he were to return to play Castle, he feels like that level of darkness is where the character has to be.
