Jon Bernthal will return as the Punisher in a new Marvel movie that won’t be cut short on violence.
If for something the character is distinguished from Frank Castle / Punisher in the comics of Marvel it is because of his extreme violence, as he uses any available method in his hands to finish off his enemies. Something that he demonstrated to perfection in the acclaimed series of Netflix. Now the rights to the character have returned to Disney and many fans are afraid that this anti-hero will be softened, but it seems that it will not happen.
Now they are developing a new movie punisher which will be included in the Marvel Studios Cinematic Universe. But the peculiarity that it will have is that it will be Rated R, which is the one that obtains those stories that are too violent for young people under 17 to enter the cinema to see them. Thats why he UCM moves very well in the PG-13, which means that everyone can enter, but children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Which translates into thousands of tickets at the end of its journey in theaters.
so make a movie Rated R it is a risk for the box office, although there are many success stories with those restrictions, especially related to comic book characters. For example deadpool 1 and 2 which obtained 782 and 743 million dollars respectively. not forgetting to joker, which opted for that rating and earned $1.074 million worldwide. So it seems like the right decision for punisher. Since there is the precedent of the series of Netflix and the fans want something similar.
We hope that they will soon reveal more information about this film of Marvel and when will it be seen. Meanwhile, we can enjoy all the deliveries of the UCM in the Disney Plus streaming platform.
