Since the 2015 Netflix series, Charlie Cox's Daredevil and Jon Bernthal's Punisher have become inextricably linked. However, Bernthal recently revealed why he initially declined participation in the Disney+ revival, Daredevil: Born Again.
The Wolf of Wall Street actor explained that the initial creative direction for Frank Castle, the Punisher, didn't resonate with him. He stated to Entertainment Weekly, "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. 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 writers' and actors' strikes, producer Dario Scardapane was appointed as the new showrunner. This change proved pivotal in Bernthal's decision.He explained that Scardapane, with whom he collaborated on the original Punisher series and other Marvel projects, involved him in shaping the character's arc. "They really brought me into the conversation," Bernthal said. "We really got specific about where Frank is psychologically, where Frank's at physically."
