Punisher: One Last Kill trailer shows Jon Bernthal on fiery revenge mission

Jon Bernthal is back as Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, in the first trailer for the upcoming Marvel TV special Punisher: One Last Kill, set to release on Disney+ on May 12.

The violent trailer depicts Castle engulfed in flames while experiencing hallucinations, signalling another bloody revenge mission.

Bernthal first portrayed the Punisher in Season 2 of Netflix’s Daredevil, introducing the former soldier turned vengeful anti-hero. Castle, driven by the murder of his family, dons his iconic black outfit with a white skull emblem and pursues criminals with unrelenting violence.

Following the Netflix run, which included two seasons of Punisher, Marvel transitioned its street-level superhero shows, including Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders, to Disney+. Bernthal appeared alongside Charlie Cox’s Daredevil in Daredevil: Born Again and teamed up to confront Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin. In the Season 1 finale of Born Again, Punisher is imprisoned by Kingpin’s police force but escapes in a post-credits scene, setting up his next mission.

Punisher: One Last Kill arrives just one week after the Season 2 finale of Daredevil: Born Again and precedes Bernthal’s return in this summer’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Fans can expect the same high-stakes action and relentless violence that has defined the Punisher’s on-screen journey.
