Since the 2015 Netflix series, it's hard to picture Charlie Cox's Daredevil without Jon Bernthal's portrayal of The Punisher. However, Bernthal recently shared why he initially declined to join the Disney+ revival, Daredevil: Born Again.
The actor, known for his role in The Wolf of Wall Street, expressed his reservations about the initial creative direction for 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, producer Dario Scardapane was appointed as the new showrunner for the series. This change sparked Bernthal's renewed interest in the project. Having previously collaborated with Scardapane on *The Punisher* series, Bernthal felt more aligned with the new vision for Frank Castle."They really brought me into the conversation," Bernthal explained, highlighting the discussions he had with Scardapane and Marvel about Frank's psychological and physical state in Daredevil: Born Again.
