DAREDEVIL Star Jon Bernthal Weighs In On Tom Holland's 'Spider-Man' And 'The Punisher''s Best Scene
Jon Bernthal talks here about Tom Holland taking on the role of Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War and reveals his favourite scene as The Punisher from Daredevil season two (hint: it's yours too).
Jon Bernthal recently made an appearance at the Emerald City Comi-Con in Seattle, and considering the fact that he landed the role of The Punisher by sending Marvel an audition tape of him reading scenes with Captain America: Civil War star Tom Holland, it should come as no surprise to learn that the actor was quickly asked about how he sees the youngster faring in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "I've got to work with some wonderful people in this business, but as a young man, he is so wise, so genuine," Bernthal said. "He comes from a good family. He's a good, kind, unbelievably hard-working blue collar actor I think he's going to crush it on that part." Will we ever get to see Spider-Man and The Punisher on the big screen together? Here's hoping!
Regardless, talk then turned to his favourite scene as Frank Castle in season two of Daredevil, and it was the same one the rest of us have been raving about. "Whupping people's ass in the prison," he exclaimed before adding: "The problem is schedule. You're against the clock all the time in television. You got to get it right. That stunt team, they're one of the best fight teams in the world. They're super-ambitious, we go for it -- it's an honor to roll with those guys." Despite the fact that The Punisher won't be making an appearance in Captain America: Civil War, fans in attendence still wanted to know whether he's Team Cap or Team Iron Man. So, whose side is the actor on? "Team Spider-Man." I think it's fair to say that's the correct answer, right?
