Why Marvel should put Jon Bernthal's Punisher in SpiderMan4.
✖ Tom Holland is still being pretty coy about his future in the Spider-Man franchise. While it's a guarantee there will soon be another Spidey film—he is the most bankable superhero ever created, after all—it has yet to be confirmed that Holland will reprise his role as Peter Parker. If Holland does return, however, we've got the perfect antagonist he should face.
We now know that within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Parker is officially on his own, with no family members left alive and his friends oblivious to the character's very existence in the universe.
The Punisher will be, after all, arguably the most"grown-up" antagonist he'd ever face. Beyond that, however, the characters even have a deeper connection than most think. The collectors out there are well aware of this, but Castle's first-ever comic appearance came within the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #129 in February 1974. During that story, Castle is an assassin hired by the Jackal to kill Spider-Man.
From what we've seen in live-action from Jon Bernthal's Punisher, he's far from a hired hand—but change is always possible. In Spider-Man 4, they don't even need to make him a hired hand. Just introduce a plot device that positions the beloved gun-toting antihero against the Friendly Neighborhood web-crawler.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is now in theaters while both seasons of The Punisher are streaming on Netflix.
