Jon Bernthal and Tom Holland have a surprising Marvel connection

Ben Affleck commented how Holland is "terrific," with Bernthal describing him as "wonderful."

Holland will next be reprising the role in the fourth Spider-Man film, titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which hits theaters on July 31, 2026. It will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who expressed at this year's CinemaCon, "I'm spending my time exploring the next stage of this amazing character with a team of the most incredible artists in the world. We're all, just daily, nerding out over the suit, how to swing, how to create an event, an emotional story, and a ride that we haven’t really seen before."

It is unclear if he will be part of the Russo Brothers' upcoming Avengers movies. 

As for Bernthal, he was most recently seen in the season 1 finale of Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+. His co-star, Vincent D’Onofrio, was asked about the post-credits scene where Punisher escapes from his cage. 

"I don’t think Kingpin would be Kingpin if he was afraid of Punisher, and vice versa. I don’t think Punisher would be Punisher if he was afraid of Kingpin. A meeting of those two has gone down before in the original Netflix series. I’m sure it will happen again at some point. I don’t know when, though," he explained. "So far it’s a small part of the second season. We have to see what the one-off thing that they’re planning on doing with the Punisher, that should be interesting to see. I don’t know if it’s a What If…? film or if it’s connected to our series or not, but it’ll be interesting to see. I love Jon’s Punisher. I think he does a great job on it."
