The partnership between Netflix and Marvel came to an untimely end when Disney+ was being developed. The House of Mouse wanted to bring all of their properties under their streaming domain so the Marvel TV universe Netflix had to end. It was unfortunate since said partnership produced some truly great TV, like Daredevil, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.

It also produced some real duds like The Defenders and Iron Fist.

While many of the series Marvel and Netflix produced are highly binge-able, The Punisher stands out. For the first time, it made Frank Castle an empathetic character you could almost identify with. That was due to the incredible performance of Jon Bernthal who truly set the bar for playing the character.

If Disney/Marvel ever decides to use the character again in movies or TV series and they don't cast Bernthal, they're leaving money on the table.
