In a new chat with Collider, Bernthal says if he returns to the character, he’s deeply committed to the source material of the gun-slinging vigilante.
“I think there’s a reason why that character has resonated as deeply and strongly as he has,” Bernthal said in the conversation. “In the hearts and minds of comic book fans and first responders and people in the military and people all over the globe. I think there’s a little bit of Frank Castle in everybody. He exists very strongly inside me and I care about that character deeply. I also know that it’s absolutely essential that if we do it, we do it right and we have real sacred integrity to the source material and to what is at the core of Frank. I’m gonna do my absolute best to make sure that, if and when we do it, we do it right.”
Bernthal appeared as Castle in two seasons of a solo The Punisher series, in addition to debuting during the second season of Daredevil. Should he, in fact, appear in Daredevil: Born Again, it’d mark a sizable shift for the MCU on its venture into more street-level storytelling.
