What happens

The Punisher: One Last Kill is an 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 Punisher. It is the third Special Presentation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films and television series of the franchise. Produced by Marvel Studios under its Marvel Television label, the special is the second MCU production centered on the character following the television series The Punisher (2017–2019), which was produced by the previous Marvel Television company and originally released on Netflix. In One Last Kill, Frank Castle is haunted by ghosts of his past as he tries to move on from his life as the brutal vigilante Punisher after avenging the deaths of his family, only to be drawn back into conflict by crime lord Ma Gnucci. Bernthal reprises his role as Castle from Marvel's Netflix television series and the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again (2025–present), with Deborah Ann Woll, Jason R. Moore, and Judith Light (Gnucci) 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 took place in New York City from mid-July to early August. The special's title was revealed in March 2026 along with its release date. The Punisher: One Last Kill was released on May 12, 2026, as part of Phase Six of the MCU. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
