Jon Bernthal returns as the Punisher in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," set for release on July 31, 2026, marking the character’s first appearance in an MCU theatrical film. New footage shows a high-octane clash between Bernthal’s armored Punisher and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, featuring the iconic Battle Van and intense gunfire. The film, set four years after "No Way Home," explores a complex threat beyond street crime, with the Punisher portrayed as a lethal antagonist. The story continues the integration of characters from past Netflix series into the MCU, with Bernthal’s role connected to "Daredevil: Born Again" and a standalone Punisher special. The film also features Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and Zendaya, Sadie Sink, and Michael Mando in supporting roles.
