The Marvel Cinematic Universe is circling back to include its roster of Netflix shows as part of the main canon. This will begin with Daredevil: Born Again, a successor to the hit series Daredevil, and it looks like fans can expect some other familiar faces to appear. This has been seemingly confirmed in what appears to be the first look at Jon Bernthal’s Punisher in Daredevil: Born Again.
Jon Bernthal and his fan-favorite role as The Punisher were both rumored to be part of Daredevil: Born Again. This would certainly make sense, especially when considering Bernthal’s Punisher first appeared in Daredevil before he went on to have his own show. Now, as you can see below, Jon Bernthal appears to be on the set of Daredevil: Born Again to reprise his role as the character.
The photo of Jon Bernthal was taken by a fan in Brooklyn. It’s worth noting that this is where Daredevil: Born Again is currently shooting. If that’s not proof enough, it’s worth noting that Jon Bernthal has fake blood on his face – presumably after shooting a fight scene for the new Daredevil show.
Here’s the image:

The user emphasized in the comments that this was taken after Jon Bernthal finished filming:
“We were at dinner and he walked in,” the user writes. “He was on break from filming from what I can tell. Everyone with him was in costume and had fake blood.”
In fact, upon closer inspection, it looks like Jon Bernthal’s own stunt double is standing behind him. It doesn’t take much to assume, then, that this photo was taken during production on Daredevil: Born Again in the Brooklyn area.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding Daredevil: Born Again as we have them. Hopefully we’ll have more details soon regarding the potential involvement of Jon Bernthal as The Punisher. For now, however, it’s quite exciting to see the actor on set.
