The Punisher is currently in limbo at Marvel Studios. Jon Bernthal was excellent in the role, but despite many rumors, there's been no official confirmation that any actors from the MCU Netflix shows will reprise their parts. In addition, the antihero is in an awkward political spot. The brutal, gun-toting vigilante doesn't fit neatly into Disney's stable of characters, which is compounded by the studio's discomfort at his skull logo being appropriated by cops, who've been pictured wearing it as they beat protesters.
