Marvel’s brutal vigilante The Punisher had made it to the screen a few times. There’s the little-seen 1980s version with Dolph Lundgren, which was bafflingly absent the character’s signature skull.

But it was Jon Bernthal who finally wore it best, debuting as the MCU’s Frank Castle in Daredevil Season 2 on Netflix before spinning off into his own series, The Punisher, in November 2017....
