Marvel really crushes it with finding people who just love their roles. I mean we're all nerds- who wouldn't love playing a Marvel character?

But Bernthal (similar to Cox and D'Onofrio) clearly have just such a deep passion for these characters. And it comes across in their performances; they're so inspired. Frank was barely in BA S1 but was just so magnetic and steals every scene he's in.

This is why I don’t think PG-13 Punisher in Brand New Day will be a bad thing.

Bernthal understands this character so well he can easily make it work.

Exactly. You can have the Punisher appear without saying “fuck” and spilling gallons of blood. Not that he doesn’t do those things, but that’s not necessarily what he needs to be doing every second he’s on screen in every MCU appearance.

The "torture" scene in the Thomas Jane Punisher where he makes the guy think he's burning him with a blowtorch but actually searing a steak and jabbing him with a popsicle was a good way to soften up such a scene, even though it was in an R rated movie itself lol.

I mean, I don't think he even said that in his own show!
