Jon Bernthal is teasing the return of The Punisher.
On Instagram, Bernthal posted an image of the One Batch, Two Batch children’s book. In the original Netflix Daredevil series, Frank Castle frequently reads the book to his daughter, Lisa, until she’s tragically killed in a shootout. “One batch, two batch. Penny and dime,” then becomes a phrase that Frank repeatedly says whenever he’s about to murder somebody as The Punisher.

The Punisher will return in Daredevil: Born Again
Bernthal is reprising his role as Frank Castle in Daredevil: Born Again, which is expected to release on Disney+ next year.
Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio are set to reprise their roles as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in the upcoming series, while Margarita Levieva, Michael Gandolfini, Nikki M. James, Clark Johnson, Arty Froushan, Zabryna Guevara, Michael Gaston, Marc Geller, and Harris Yulin will also star.
Sandrine Holt, meanwhile, is portraying Vanessa Fisk, a character who was previously played by Ayelet Zurer, while Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson will reportedly reprise their roles as Karen Page and Franklin “Foggy” Nelson.
Daredevil: Born Again began filming in March 2023 but was suspended in June due to the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes.
During the strikes, Marvel Studios decided to overhaul the series as head writers Matt Corman and Chris Ord were taken off the project. Dario Scardapane was hired as a new showrunner, while Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead were brought on as lead directors.
Daredevil: Born Again resumed production in January 2024. The series is expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2025, though an exact release date has not yet been set.
All three seasons of Daredevil, along with both seasons of the Bernthal-led Punisher series, are currently streaming on Disney+.
