Jon Bernthal, the actor who played Punisher in Netflix's hit show, just posted a picture on Instagram of the fictional children's book One Batch, Two Batch. This was the favorite book of Punisher's daughter, before she was tragically killed. Which insinuates that Jon Berthnal will be reprising his role.
The Punisher was a big hit for Netflix, but it wasn't renewed for a third season back in 2019 because Disney Plus was launched in the November of that year (and it might soon be gone again with how many subscribers are leaving the platform). Remember, The Punisher was produced by Netflix, but this is ultimately a Marvel character, and Disney own Marvel.
However, fans have been craving more ever since. Luckily, the actor who played Punisher, Jon Bernthal, has given a very obvious hint that this character will return in some form.
Created by writer Gerry Conway and artists John Romita Sr. and Ross Andru, Punisher first appeared in "The Amazing Spider-Man" #129 in 1974!
Jon Berthnal Posts One Batch, Two Batch Photo To Instagram
On March 12 Jon Berthnal, the actor who played Punisher for Netflix, posted a picture of the children's book One Batch, Two Batch to Instagram. This isn't a real children's book, this was the favorite book of Punisher's daughter Lisa Castle.
Before he became Punisher, Frank Castle was a family man. His daughter pleaded with him to read One Batch, Two Batch to her, but he was exhausted and said he would another night. However, the next day, Lisa Castle was tragically killed.
Here is the book:
Lisa Castle's death is what set her father on course to becoming Punisher, and so the book One Batch, Two Batch is symbolically important to the character. This is why he always says the catchphrase "One Batch, Two batch. Penny and Dime" before going on a rampage; it's a rhyme from the book.
We're taking this post to mean that Jon Berthnal will reprise his role as Punisher. And if a third season of The Punisher is on the way, we can guarantee it will be exclusively available on Disney Plus.
Are you excited about another season of The Punisher? Would you sign up to Disney just to watch it?
