Jon Bernthal returns as Frank Castle in the 50-minute special The Punisher: One Last Kill, now streaming on Disney+. The episode places Castle at absolute rock bottom and functions partly as an origin-style recap, with the story set before Spider-Man 4. Critics praised Bernthal's performance and the violent action while faulting the special's thin plotting and retreaded themes; SlashFilm called it stylish but lacking and TheWrap framed it as an origin recap. At roughly 50 minutes, the standalone format makes it an easy entry for newcomers but may frustrate longtime viewers seeking a direct continuation of the Netflix-era Punisher arc.
