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).
