The Punisher: One Last Kill (MCU Series)

The Punisher: One Last Kill is an upcoming American television special directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and written by Jon Bernthal and Green for the streaming service Disney+, based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Frank Castle / Punisher. It is intended to be the third Special Presentation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films and television series of the franchise. The special is produced by Marvel Studios under its Marvel Television label and the second MCU project centered on the character following the television series The Punisher (2017–2019), which was produced by the separate Marvel Television and originally released on Netflix. One Last Kill sees Frank Castle try to live a life without the need for revenge, only to be drawn into an unexpected conflict. Bernthal reprises his role as Frank Castle / Punisher from Marvel's Netflix television series and the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again (2025–present), with Jason R. Moore and Roe Rancell also starring. Following the cancellation of The Punisher in 2019, Bernthal was cast for Born Again in March 2023. A special featuring his character was conceived during filming of the first season of that series, with Bernthal and Green revealed to be working on the project with Marvel Studios in February 2025. Filming began in mid-July in New York City and concluded in early August. The special's title was revealed in March 2026 along with its release date. The Punisher: One Last Kill is scheduled to be released on May 12, 2026, as part of Phase Six of the MCU.
