The Punisher has been part of Marvel for nearly 40 years, but unlike characters such as Spider-Man or Wolverine, his path to the screen has never been straightforward.
This video explores Frank Castle's journey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9o0xDWW4Go) across films, TV shows, animated universes, anime, and entirely different interpretations of the same character. From his rocky debut in 1989, to years spent as a softened supporting player in animated universes, to the extreme and grounded versions that never quite stuck, to the interpretation that finally defined him on Daredevil, The Punisher, and now Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Frank Castle has constantly been reshaped into something new.
