Per the “The Hollywood Reporter,” Jon Bernthal is set to return as his Marvel TV character, Frank Castle — a.k.a. The Punisher — in “Spider‑Man: Brand New Day,” the next installment in the Sony/Marvel Spider‑Man franchise. Bernthal previously portrayed Frank Castle in Netflix’s “Daredevil and The Punisher,” later reprising the role in “Daredevil: Born Again” on Disney+. Tom Holland will return as Peter Parker, with Zendaya and Jacob Batalon expected to reprise their roles as MJ and Ned. Spider-Man: Brand New Day follows 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, and 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home — the ending of which erased Peter Parker from the memory of everyone who knew he was Spider-Man, including all his friends and loved ones.
