Jon Bernthal as the MCU's punisher in front of a red and blue background
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The time has come for Marvel to address its lowest-grossing movie ever and bring one of its best characters to the silver screen again. The Punisher has been notably absent from the MCU timeline, likely due to his highly violent and graphic brand of vigilante justice.
Punisher: War Zone Is The Lowest-Earning Theatrical Marvel Movie Of All Time Close Punisher: War Zone, directed by Lexi Alexander and released in 2008, holds the unfortunate distinction of being the lowest-earning theatrical Marvel movie of all time. Despite its intentions to reboot the Punisher franchise with a darker and more violent tone, the film struggled to attract audiences, grossing only around $10 million worldwide against its $35 million budget .
Jon Bernthal's Punisher Deserves A Big-Screen Project Jon Bernthal's portrayal of Frank Castle in Netflix’s The Defenders Saga proved so successful that he has been retained along with Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin and Charlie Cox’s Daredevil for the MCU’s Daredevil Born Again. Bernthal brought a raw intensity and emotional depth to the character that resonated deeply with audiences, setting a new standard for the anti-hero.
Why The Time Is Right For Another Punisher Movie The time is ripe for an MCU Punisher movie starring Jon Bernthal, especially as the franchise is expanding to include more street-level and mature content. The MCU’s Spider-Man 4 is set to focus on a street-level narrative following the ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home. As a result, the MCU has a perfect opportunity to depict more street-level Marvel heroes in movies, such as Punisher.
