Jon Bernthal Nearly Exits Daredevil: Born Again, Reveals Why
Since the 2015 Netflix series, it's become almost unthinkable to envision Charlie Cox's Daredevil without Jon Bernthal's Punisher by his side. However, Bernthal recently disclosed why he initially opted out of joining the Disney+ revival, Daredevil: Born Again.
Known for his role in The Wolf of Wall Street, Bernthal shared that his initial reservations stemmed from the creative direction planned for his character, Frank Castle, also known as The Punisher.
"Ultimately, I didn't see it. I didn't see the version of Frank, and what they wanted from Frank [didn't] really make sense to me,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I thought [it] would not appeal to the fans and wouldn't be congruent. It was not something I was really interested in doing. So we had to walk away."
Following a significant creative overhaul after the strikes, the series saw the appointment of Dario Scardapane as the new showrunner. It was at this point that Bernthal began to see a fitting role for Frank in *Born Again*."They really brought me into the conversation," Bernthal explained, highlighting his previous collaboration with Scardapane on The Punisher series and his discussions with Marvel. "We really got specific about where Frank is psychologically, where Frank's at physically."
