Jon Bernthal Returns as 'The Punisher' as Filming Kicks Off, New Villain Seemingly Spoiled
Jon Bernthal is back on set as The Punisher!
The 48-year-old Marvel actor was seen on the set of the Disney+ special on Thursday (July 17) in New York City.
In leaked set photos, it was actually possibly revealed that a new villain will be entering the scene. Set photos showed Gnucci’s Restaurant, which seemingly means that Isabella “Ma” Gnucci will be the special’s villain. Isabella “Ma” Gnucci is a ruthless New York mob boss and one of the Punisher’s most significant enemies in the comics. After he kills her sons, she declares war.
Jon first played the role on Netflix’s version of Daredevil, debuting the character during 2016’s second season. He went on to lead his own series for Netflix, playing the titular character for two seasons of The Punisher, which ran from 2017 to 2019.
After The Punisher, it looks like Jon will be filming another superhero project!
