Which Marvel Actors Will Join Jon Bernthal in Disney+’s Daredevil?
It isn't surprising that Jon Bernthal's fellow Marvel actors are celebrating his return in Daredevil: Born Again, considering the importance and widespread popularity of Frank Castle.
While it is unknown how Bernthal's Punisher will fit in the upcoming reboot, it's safe to assume that his appearance will be more than a cameo due to the show's historic 18-episode length.
Daredevil: Born Again's cast is growing after Bernthal's confirmed involvement, leaving fans to wonder if more actors from Marvel's Netflix shows will join him.
Aside from Krysten Ritter's tease of her potential return as Jessica Jones, Luke Cage actor Mike Colter also shared photos of him with the Marvel actress, which sparked speculation about his comeback.
Despite the reported absence of Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson in the upcoming reboot, Bernthal's return alongside the rumored comebacks of other Marvel characters from the Netflix shows could ease the frustration of some fans.
Daredevil: Born Again is set to premiere on Disney+ in Spring 2024.
