Benjamin Poindexter’s evolution into Marvel’s definitive sharpshooter is officially hitting its final stage. Following his chaotic, narrative-shattering role in the Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Wilson Bethel took to social media to drop high-concept tease of his upgraded Season 3 costume.
For anyone who thought Dex’s tactical blue threads in Season 2 were the peak of his comic adaptation, Bethel is warning fans: Season 3 is stripping away the anti-hero gray and unleashing a comic-accurate monster.
While the actor’s social media post was playfully obscured to keep Marvel’s spoiler police at bay, it clearly showcased a refined, darker pivot for the iconic Bullseye logo.
“To be fully honest with you, I still don’t 100% know where it goes. Daario [Scardapane] basically told me that Dex is now working for the government. He’s now a G-man,” said Bethel of Bullseye’s Season 3 appearance. “That’s what he pitched me, but I’ve only read the first two scripts of season three. I’m only in them a little bit so far.“
Now under the employ of Mr. Charles, on behalf of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Dex will be reformatted into a black-ops asset in Season 3 and has been teasing a new, comic-accurate suit for some time.
Yeah, I’m a big advocate for [a comic-accurate costume]. And I will tell you this without giving anything away. There’s a new there’s a new suit in the works. I won’t say anything beyond that, but there’s definitely a new costume next season.
Bethel recently emphasized that audiences shouldn’t get comfortable with the version of Dex they saw in Season 2, who believes he’s one of the good guys. “One of the things that’s so much fun to play… is that there is a certain kind of capriciousness to where his mind or his emotions might be at. This is a deeply unstable person.” Fans have been hoping and theorizing that Bullseye will eventually join Yelena Belova, John Walker et Al on the New Avengers/Thunderbolts and while there’s no evidence of that at the moment, it’s only one degree of separation away from reality.
While the live-action side of the MCU is currently dominating the headlines, Marvel’s streaming skipper, Brad Winderbaum, is quietly prepping the studio’s secret weapons.
Here is exactly what to expect from Marvel’s remaining 2026 animation slate.
X-Men ’97 Season 2 — July 1, 2026 (Disney+)
The mutants are coming back, and according to the cast, “a lot of people die.” Following the explosive, time-shattering finale of Season 1, the uncanny team has been split across the timestream. Marvel is kicking off the hype train with a world premiere event at New York’s Tribeca Festival in June 2026, paving the way for a full streaming debut later this summer.
The Timestream Split: The season will actively manage three distinct timelines.
The “Very Dark” Return: Voice actress Jennifer Hale (Jean Grey) has warned fans to brace themselves, noting that Disney greenlit an incredibly dark and mature narrative for the sophomore outing. With Bastion’s legacy still lingering, a new, massive cosmic entity is rumored to target the remaining mutants left in the present day.
The Comic Prelude: To bridge the gap, Marvel has launched an official X-Men ’97: Season Two comic prelude series, which lays the groundwork for how the remaining team members on Earth are operating without their core leadership.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2 — Fall 2026 (Disney+)
The alternate-universe Peter Parker, voiced by Hudson Thames, who caught everyone by surprise with his cell-shaded, retro style is sliding straight into his second year. Showrunner Jeff Trammell is expanding the writing room for a massive 56-page narrative arc that changes the entire power balance of this universe.
The Succession Dynamic: Winderbaum dropped a fascinating comparison for Season 2, stating that the character interactions and political power struggles within the Osborn-funded ecosystem will mirror the prestige drama Succession. Expect power scaling and intense psychological warfare as characters challenge Norman Osborn’s grip on the city.
Enter Gwen Stacy & Venom: The official casting roster for the fall return has officially confirmed the introduction of Gwen Stacy/Ghost-Spider and the arrival of Venom, bringing two of the most iconic pieces of the Spider-Verse into Peter’s localized, alternate MCU timeline.
The Returning Heavy Hitters: Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Hugh Dancy’s Otto Octavius are both locked in for major roles, ensuring that the intersection of street-level vigilantes and high-tech supervillains continues to test Peter’s neighborhood loyalties.
Marvel Animation is no longer treated as a side project; under Winderbaum’s new corporate umbrella, it is acting as the premier destination for long-form character drama. Whether you are looking for the devastating, apocalyptic opera of the X-Men this summer, or the corporate, street-level chess match of Spider-Man this fall, the animated slate is locked, loaded, and ready to dominate your screen.
The Multiverse Saga has often been criticized for introducing characters and concepts only to leave them on the shelf for years. But according to a new report making the rounds, Marvel Studios is finally looking to capitalize on one of its undisputed Phase 4 triumphs: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
A new report from industry insider Daniel Richtman suggests that a dedicated spin-off project tracking the shadow empire of the Ten Rings organization is actively in development once again, breathing new life into a corner of the MCU fans have been begging to revisit since 2021.
When we last saw the Ten Rings, Shang-Chi’s sister, Xu Xialing, had taken the throne of her late father’s global criminal empire. Despite promising her brother she would dismantle it, the post-credits scene revealed she was rebuilding the fortress with a new generation of female warriors.
In December 2021, following the success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, it was announced that director Destin Daniel Cretton was working not only on a sequel to the film but also a spinoff streaming series for Disney +. Though pretty much everyone at the time believed that spinoff was a Ten Rings-centric show led by Meng’er Zhang‘s Xialing, it turned out to be Wonder Man.
If the rumor pans out, perhaps could this project serve as the narrative runway leading directly into Shang-Chi 2. Cretton has Spider-Man: Brand New Day set for this July and Season 2 of Wonder Man on deck, so a spin-off allows Marvel to keep the Shang-Chi franchise warm without waiting for a full theatrical sequel.
But Kevin Feige and the newly promoted Brad Winderbaum aren’t letting up on the gas. The remaining live-action slate for 2026 is arguably the most consequential six-month stretch in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, bridging the gap between grounded street-level grit and a multiversal apocalypse.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day — July 31, 2026 (Theatrical)
The highly anticipated fourth solo outing for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker isn’t just a sequel; it’s a total system reset. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi), Brand New Day is pulling directly from the classic comic book status quo while throwing Peter into a dark, isolating new era.
The Four-Year Gap: Following an opening act that picks up nine months post-No Way Home, the film utilizes a massive four-year time jump, dropping audiences directly into the year 2028. Peter is now 21/22 years old, completely erased from the memories of his loved ones, and scraping by as an isolated, DIY hero.
The Tonal Whiplash: Fresh off his brutal solo special, Jon Bernthal’s Punisher serves as a primary supporting player. Bernthal has teased that Frank Castle acts as a grim reaper on Peter’s shoulder, offering a violent, uncompromising contrast to Spider-Man’s traditional idealism.
The Monster Within: With Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner returning to the fold, rumor has it that Peter’s mysterious headaches are reportedly tied to a terrifying physical mutation arc, forcing a veteran, resource-less Spider-Man to protect a city that has entirely moved on without him.
ViSiONQUΞST — October 14, 2026 (Disney+)
Serving as the definitive conclusion to the trilogy that began with WandaVision and Agatha All Along, this 8-episode event series is taking a hard sci-fi, psychological approach to the synthetic soul of the MCU. Showrunner Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard) is leaning heavily into philosophical horror for the spooky season.
The Return of the Maker: The Disney Upfronts blew the doors off this project by confirming James Spader’s return as Ultron in both human and murder bot form. Paul Bettany has teased that Ultron acts as the “architect of Vision’s trauma,” appearing in a chilling “human form” to taunt White Vision as the android searches for a soul and pieces together his inherited memories.
The Children’s Crusade: The series will officially introduce a grown-up Tommy Maximoff (played by Ruaridh Mollica), reuniting the twins on the physical plane after Billy’s journey in Agatha.
The Multiversal Anchor: Bettany has teased that VisionQuest is the direct launchpad for his role in the next two Avengers films, with Vision’s analytical mind perhaps becoming crucial to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes staying in the fight.
Avengers: Doomsday — December 18, 2026 (Theatrical)
The main event. The crown jewel. The return of the Kings. Joe and Anthony Russo step back behind the camera for a film that has fundamentally rewritten the rules of the Multiverse Saga.
The Rule of Doom: Robert Downey Jr. returns to the MCU, not as Iron Man, but as Victor von Doom. The narrative focuses on the responses of the heroes of different Earth as Doom unleashes “a cascading crisis across the entire multiverse.”
The Fluid Script: Production in London has been characterized by absolute secrecy. Joseph Quinn recently revealed that early scripts didn’t even have an ending, as the Russos and writer Stephen McFeely treat the film as a living document, utilizing “secret names” to hide massive legacy cameos until the cameras roll.
Marvel’s remaining 2026 lineup is all about consequence. The Marvel Spotlight experimentation of the year’s first half is giving way to projects that will drive the narrative of the main cinematic line. Peter Parker is being forced to grow up, White Vision is facing his literal demon creator, and the entire Multiverse is marching toward a date with Doctor Doom on December 18.
Buckle up. The summer belongs to the web-slinger, the autumn belongs to the synths, and this winter, there is only Doom.
The Netflix renaissance is no longer a phase—it’s a takeover. Fresh off the wave of positive response to the TV-MA Special Presentation The Punisher: One Last Kill, industry insider Daniel Richtman has reported that Marvel Studios is moving full steam ahead on a follow-up project for Jon Bernthal’s lethal vigilante.
While it’s currently unclear if this next step is another tight Special Presentation a full-scale limited series or a feature film, the narrative trajectory is obvious. One Last Killintentionally left Ma Gnucci on the board, setting up a comic-accurate turf war that will feature Frank shielding Sadie Sink’s mystery MCU character from the ever-present Department of Damage Control in Spider-Man: Brand New Day before heading up another Punisher project. And it looks as though whatever they project it is, it will feature one of Punisher’s most lethal villains.
Though he had a small role as Barry in Punisher: One Last Kill, fans were convinced that Jamal Johnson was actually playing the merc known as Barracuda in the special presentation. Thanks to an Instagram post from Johnson, it seems fans were indeed correct…and Johnson is teasing the potential for him to return in the role.
Introduced by writer Garth Ennis in the 2006 Punisher MAX series, Barracuda isn’t just one of the Punisher’s most formidable physical threats—he’s also one of the few villains who genuinely enjoys the chaos as much as Frank enjoys the punishment. Barracuda is the “anti-Punisher”—a military-trained killing machine who represents what Frank Castle might have become if he actually enjoyed the slaughter instead of viewing it as a tragic, solemn duty.
Bernthal has made it clear there’s more in the pipeline for the character and though he refuses to give it away, there’s plenty of news crumbs for fans to start imagining what’s next for The Punisher.
Fans can now mark their calendars for the release of the final chapter of the WandaVision trilogy At the Disney Upfront presentation, Marvel Studios officially confirmed that VisionQuest will premiere on October 14, 2026.
You’re meeting a Vision who has died and come back to life, who is sort of reconnecting with his memories, and his feelings, and is going through a bit of an identity quest.
-Showrunner Terry Matalas
VisionQuest has been described as a sort of techno-philosophica journey and certainly one of the studio’s weirdest projects to date which will include the return of James Spader‘s villainous murder bot, Ultron. The Wrap was present at the Upfront presentation and gave a description of the footage revealed from the show.
For most of the footage, we see Paul Bettany in his human form, essentially watching Vision’s memories like a film. When last we saw him, he was the White Vision that we saw fly off at the end of WandaVision. He’s been given his memories back without having lived them, so now he’s trying to figure out his humanity once more, noting he has none of the emotions the first Vision did. There to help him — and taunt him — is Ultron, once again voiced by James Spader. But Spader also appears in human form too.
VisionQuest will wrap Marvel Television’s live-action slate for 2026 and conclude in time for any of its characters or plot points to carry over to Avengers: Doomsday if necessary.
Writer Garth Ennis is widely credited with saving the Punisher from obscurity and defining the character for the modern era. Before Ennis, Frank Castle had been written as an angel of vengeance with supernatural guns—a direction fans hated. Ennis brought him back to basics in Welcome Back, Frank (2000). And now it seems clear that the Marvel Knights imprint–and it’s over-the-top action–will also define the next MCU iteration of the character.
Since 2017, Jon Bernthal‘s take on the Punisher has always been highly praised for its mature handling of PTSD and veteran reintegration, creating the most soulful on-screen version of the character. One Last Kill once again examines the trauma and tragic nihilism that fuels Frank Castle while also acting a vehicle for Castle’s eager violence. Equal parts John Wick, Dirty Harry and The Raid, Marvel Television’s latest Special Presentation is outrageously brutal but it is also exactly what it should be.
Set at a not quite clearly defined point in Castle’s life, One Last Kill picks up with Frank as he struggles to find purpose with his personal war having come to an end and is haunted at first but the ghosts of his family and then by the ghost of his own violence. As seen in Ennis’ MAX series, Frank’s internal world is a haunted house. Rather than allowing himself to heal–even when he recognizes his instability–he chooses to stay in a state of perpetual trauma.
The opening of the Special Presentation riffs hard on Ennis’ take on Frank, allowing his inner monologue to serve as the engine of the story. And in the presence of his former brothers in arms, it isn’t just a narration of events; it is a staccato, utilitarian checklist that reveals how he views the world through a tactical lens and his body as a weapon system that needs maintenance…and Frank hasn’t been maintaining his very well. As he did in Season 1 of The Punisher, Bernthal goes all in on Castle’s grief, agony pain and guilt.
One Last Kill, created by Bernthal and director Reinaldo Marcus Green, spends significant narrative currency exploring the Punisher’s pathos and it’s an unsettling excavation. The core of his pathos isn’t just that his family died; it’s that Frank Castle died with them. He didn’t just lose his wife and children; he lost his ability to exist in a civilized world. And at one point, Frank is ready to leave that world…until Judith Light‘s Ma Gnucci pulls him back in and, ultimately, gives purpose to The Punisher once again. Just as in Ennis’ run, however, Frank Castle doesn’t actually want to be the Punisher; he is simply the only person left who is willing to take out the trash.
While fans will revel in the savage and sanguinary action of the Special Presentation and rejoice at the promise of prospective punishment down the road, One Last Kill is deeply dark and disturbing. Castle doesn’t conquer his grief and evolve into a hero by the end of the short runtime; he reestablishes himself as The Punisher through the subsequent transformation of grief into a cold, mechanical purpose.
And it looks as though Bernthal‘s Punisher is just getting started.
As fans prepare to dive into The Punisher: One Last Kill on Disney+, a new report from The Direct is fueling speculation that this Special Presentation might be the final audition for a full-blown theatrical Punisher movie.
While the current project is a standalone, 40ish-minute Marvel Spotlight entry, the conversation is rapidly shifting toward Frank Castle’s big-screen potential—especially with Jon Bernthal already confirmed for a major role in this summer’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The Punisher: One Last Kill isn’t just another MCU spin-off; it’s a mission statement. Bernthal didn’t just return as the lead; he also co-wrote and executive produced the special alongside director Reinaldo Marcus Green. This level of creative involvement suggests Marvel is trusting Bernthal to define the adult tone of the character’s MCU future.
Moving forward. I think, speaking for myself, I know Jon, and I would love to make a movie, something that could go worldwide and be on screens everywhere. But obviously, that’ll be Marvel’s decision.
-Reinaldo Marcus Green
Green admitted that while One Last Kill is a streaming event, both he and Bernthal “would love” to see Frank Castle lead his own theatrical film. “Obviously, that’ll be Marvel’s decision,” Green noted, but emphasized that the demand for an R-rated theatrical Punisher has never been higher.
To be honest, I can’t speak to that. I don’t know what the plans are for the future of the Punisher. The only thing that we hope that we were able to accomplish is the demand for more if we were able to accomplish that. Hopefully Jon [Bernthal] and Marvel will come together to make something worthy of what the audience would want to see out of that character.
-Reinaldo Marcus Green
Following the success of Deadpool & Wolverine and the two TV-MA seasons of Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel Studios is reportedly no longer afraid of the R-rating in theaters. With Disney pivoting back toward theatrical releases and away from aggressive streaming slates, Frank Castle is the perfect candidate to lead a lower-budget, high-impact, R-rated Marvel Knights cinematic line.
Set both after the events of Netflix’s The Punisher Season 2 and during the events of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, One Last Kill will tee up Frank for his upcoming big screen debut in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
While the Special Presentation is designed to be standalone, it will certainly reference some of the events from both seasons of The Punisher and Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again. With that in mind, we present The Ultimate List of What to Watch Before The Punisher: One Last Kill.
The Complete and Definitive MCU Punisher Prep
If you have time to watch it all before you decide to stream One Last Kill, here’s everything to make sure you maximize your enjoyment. Though The Punisher did not appear in Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, it is most certainly relevant since One Last Kill is set during it and explains what Castle was doing during the season.
If you start now, you can take it all in before the streaming debut of One Last Kill.
Essential Prep
Daredevil, Season 2 (2016)
🍅 81%
Episodes 1-4, 9 and 11
To understand the Punisher, you have to witness the tragedy that birthed him. While his debut in Daredevil Season 2 is packed with visceral action, its true importance lies in the ideological war between Matt Murdock and Frank Castle. In Episodes 1-4, we see Frank at his most raw, culminating in the “Penny and Dime” monologue that redefined the character for a generation. These episodes aren’t just backstory; they establish the “no-half-measures” code that puts him at odds with the current street-level heroes in Born Again. Furthermore, Episode 9 is the first piece of the puzzle for his relationship with Wilson Fisk, showing a mutual respect between two monsters that still haunts the MCU today.
The Punisher, Season 1 (2017)
🍅 68%
Episode 1
The 2017 premiere of Frank’s solo series, titled “3 AM,” is a masterclass in the War at Home. It shows Frank Castle attempting the impossible: quitting. By burning his gear and taking a sledgehammer to literal walls, Frank tries to bury the soldier. This episode is the essential spiritual predecessor to One Last Kill, which begins with Frank once again trying to find a life beyond the violence. It also sets up his showdown with Ma Gnucci–played by Judith Light–in the special presentation.
While you could skip straight to Born Again, Jon Bernthal and showrunner Dario Scardapane have been vocal in interviews (and the Born Again Official Podcast) that the Netflix shows are not only 100% canon but crucial to understanding the man and his mission.
The Punisher, Season 2 (2019)
🍅 61%
Episode 13
The Season 2 finale of the Netflix era serves as the definitive transition into the Frank we see in the 2026 specials. It is here that Frank stops running from his nature and accepts that he is a “man in the box.” By ending the season with Frank dual-wielding rifles against a street gang, the show signaled his transformation from a man seeking revenge to a vigilante seeking a purpose. This version of Frank—the one who accepts his role as a necessary evil—is the exact version that Mayor Fisk now uses as a boogeyman to justify his anti-vigilante task forces.
Pay close attention to the return of Jason R. Moore as Curtis Hoyle. While Frank is the hammer, Curtis has always been the anvil Frank relies on to stay grounded. Frank is going to need every ounce of that Netflix-era humanity to survive, Ma Gnucci, a villain who is just as relentless as he is.
In this episode, Frank Castle’s return is triggered by the ultimate insult: the co-opting of his symbol. For years, the Punisher Skull had been adopted by a faction of corrupt NYPD officers—the very men Fisk uses to enforce his order. When Frank finally steps out of the shadows to confront these officers, it isn’t just about vigilantism; it’s about identity theft. He makes it clear that the skull isn’t a badge of authority or a trend—it’s a mark of a man who has lost everything and has nothing left to fear. This episode is crucial for One Last Kill because it establishes Frank’s current mission: cleaning up the mess his own reputation created. He isn’t just hunting criminals anymore; he’s hunting those who wear his face while breaking the law.
Episode 4 also serves as the first major reunion between Red and the Punisher in years, but the tone has shifted significantly since their rooftop debates. While they are still fundamentally at odds regarding the sanctity of life, there is a weary, veteran respect between them. Frank sees a Matt Murdock who is increasingly desperate and isolated after the loss of Foggy Nelson. In this episode, Frank acts as a dark mirror, forcing Matt to realize that the city Fisk is building has no room for “really good lawyers.” It sets the stage for Frank’s role in the One Last Kill special as the man who does what Matt Murdock can no longer afford to do: finish the job permanently.
Episode 9
Frank’s return in the first season of Born Again was a shock to the system. In Episode 9, we see a Frank Castle who has been forced to watch his symbol be co-opted by corrupt NYPD officers—a plot point that Bernthal has noted was a major inspiration for the One Last Kill special. This episode is crucial because it updates Frank’s status quo: he is no longer just a lone wolf; he is a witness to the systemic rot of Fisk’s New York. His confrontation with Matt about the death of Foggy Nelson provides the emotional fuel for his current state of mind, bridging the gap between his personal grief and his new civic rage. And, of course, One Last Kill will follow Castle after his escape from Fisk’s dungeon prison and explain his absence from Born Again Season 2.
If you are truly pressed for time, here’s a boiled-down “Must-Watch” list:
Daredevil Season 2, Episode 4 (“Penny and Dime”) — The emotional soul of the character.
The Punisher Season 1, Ep 1 (“3 AM”) — Frank’s return to his mission and his attack on the Gnucci crime family.
Daredevil: Born Again, Season 1, Episode 9 — To see his new MCU status quo and his escape from Fisk’s dungeon that once again sets him loose on the criminals of New York City.
About The Punisher: One Last Kill
The Punisher: One Last Kill stars Jon Bernthal, Judith Light, Jason R. Moore, Roe Rancell, Mila Jaymes, Nick Koumalatsos, and Colton Hill.
As Frank Castle searches for meaning beyond revenge, an unexpected force pulls him back into the fight.
The Special Presentation was written by Jon Bernthal & Reinaldo Marcus Green. Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Sana Amanat, Jon Bernthal, and Reinaldo Marcus Green executive-produced.
The Punisher: One Last Kill debuts May 12th on Disney +.
The year is 20206…and Frank Castle is officially the connective tissue of the MCU’s street-level slate…but don’t expect him to play nice in both sandboxes. While talking with Kelly Clarkson, Jon Bernthal broke down the stark tonal differences between his standalone Special Presentation, The Punisher: One Last Kill, and his highly anticipated role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Bernthal called the Special Presentation, which debuts on March 12th, “the most psychologically complex, darkest version of the Punisher that you’re going to see. I believe it’s what the fans want.”
“I wrote it alongside the help of Nick Koumalatsos, who’s a Marine Raider and an unbelievable guy who wrote a book his own pain and his own bout with hopelessness and his story back,” Bernthal revealed. “It was such an honor. He’s a producer on [it]. Cody Alford, a Marine Raider, and Colton Hill, Green Beret, were on set. They’re badass.”
Bernthal continued, “They’re more than badass. They’re just beautiful human beings, and they’re great, and they really wanted to do something, you know, for the veterans community and especially for these guys, the tip of the spear guys who are really suffering with entering back into the world. And I think that’s very much at the core of a Frank story.”
Even though Castle first appeared in the pages of a Spider-Man comic, the character that most fans are familiar with–and the one they’ll see in One Last Kill–doesn’t fit the far more family-friendly tone of Sony and Marvel’s Spidey franchise. And so having a large role in the new installment meant that Bernthal would have to bring a kinder, gentler tone to Castle.
“With Spider-Man, I think what was most important, because, obviously, tonally it’s different and such an honour to be a part of it, especially with my dear friend Tom Holland,” Bernthal said. “It was important to us that one Punisher could walk off one set and walk onto the other. Tonally, they couldn’t be more different, but I hope we were able to achieve that. It’s very important.”
With The Punisher and Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane having confirmed that Marvel Television is going full Netflix, it seems likely fans will get more of the gritty, bloody, badass Punisher sooner rather than later.
