Jon Bernthal, known for his role as the Punisher in Marvel's Daredevil and Punisher series, joins Tom Holland in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, will be released July 31, 2026. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon reprise their roles, with Sadie Sink joining the cast. Bernthal's inclusion suggests a grittier storyline, contrasting with the usual Spider-Man fare. The film follows the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Bernthal's Punisher character is set for future Marvel projects, including a standalone Disney+ film he's co-writing.
