Jon Bernthal: Pushing Bold Bets From The Odyssey to Spider-Man and Broadway

THR’s cover profile portrays Jon Bernthal as a fearless, relentlessly hands-on actor who pushes beyond comfort to serve the story. He endures Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey—surviving a cold, water-filled Trojan Horse shoot and earning the crew’s respect—while expanding his range across film, TV, and theater (The Bear, The Punisher, Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway). Bernthal discusses mentoring from Moscow Art Theatre training, co-writing One Last Kill, developing The Bottoms, and collaborating with Tom Holland on Spider-Man: Brand New Day. He argues for taking big swings, embracing nos, and staying creatively in control, insisting he’s always “a soldier for the story.”

Marvel Releases BTS Photos to Debunk Viral Punisher VFX Moment

Marvel and Disney released behind-the-scenes photos for Punisher: One Last Kill to confirm that a viral scene with an odd unfinished-VFX look was staged; Bernthal and a stunt double swapped positions during filming, and a 3D model of Bernthal’s face was used in some takes. The shot was an intentional part of the production, and the perceived CGI quirks stem from how the footage was captured and edited. The special is set before Spider-Man: Brand New Day and marks Bernthal’s fourth MCU turn as the Punisher (with Brand New Day being his first feature film).

Punisher: One Last Kill’s Viral Shot Was a Real In-Camera Stunt, Not Unfinished VFX

Io9 reports the viral moment in Punisher: One Last Kill isn’t an unfinished VFX shot. The sequence combines a real in-camera stunt performed by Jon Bernthal (with a stunt double landing on the rig) and a later face replacement to resemble Bernthal. The shot is imperfect, but it’s a deliberate practical effect, and it doesn’t undermine the rest of Marvel’s special.

Punisher: One Last Kill Is a Twist, Not the End, Says Director

Director Reinaldo Marcus Green says the Disney+ special’s title One Last Kill is a deliberate misdirection meant to subvert expectations rather than signal the Punisher’s end.
