I knew he would be in at least three scenes but he was in way more than that. He really was a supporting character here, not treated like "another hero" which is exactly how other heroes and vigilantes should be treated in these movies.

It was done just like Superman (2025) and how it handled its supporting characters.

The scene in the hospital where he pretends to be Spidey was so damn funny

The shot where they cut back inside and he's just making Bernthal noises made me laugh my ass off.

He's making the same grunts that he makes when he's mowing down 20 prisoners trying to murder him.

The even funnier thing is that Bernthal sounds nothing like that in real life.

Bernthal has the best southern cali surfer dude accent irl, and the two roles he’s most known for gave him a strong southern drawl and Punisher grunts lol

He's a gem, that Bernthal. What a guy.

please god don't turn out to be problematic

His social media is full of love and support and “this is for you” to cops and soldiers… which is *touchy* in 2026, but it feels like, despite being so good as Frank, he fundamentally misunderstands him: Cops and soldiers should *hate* Frank because he undermines the law and order that they claim to uphold.

Bernthal is basically inviting them to put punisher logos on their uniforms, and that’s wrong.

For what it’s worth, he has openly condemned alt-right / white supremacist groups who idolize the Punisher

Ah, hell, somehow I missed this. Yeah, that really, really stinks.

Fuck. What is it

That was good but, a little bit, like for three seconds, I thought he was going to have called in daredevil.

He's still presumably in jail somewhere. Kingpin being no longer the mayor doesn't change the state and federal charges against Murdock's vigilante-ing.
