Fans of The Punisher and The Walking Dead are in for a treat — Jon Bernthal has officially been announced as a guest for MCM Comic Con London, taking place next Saturday, 25th October.
The actor, best known for his gritty performances as Frank Castle (The Punisher) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Shane Walsh in AMC’s The Walking Dead, will be appearing for one day only. Attendees will have the chance to meet Bernthal in person, with autograph sessions and photo ops available throughout the day.
From The Walking Dead to The Punisher — Bernthal’s Rise to Fame
Jon Bernthal’s breakout role came in 2010 with The Walking Dead, where his portrayal of Shane Walsh quickly made him a fan favourite (and one of the show’s most talked-about characters). Since then, he’s carved out a powerful presence in Hollywood, taking on major roles in films such as The Wolf of Wall Street, Fury, Sicario, and The Accountant.
Bernthal later joined the Marvel TV universe, debuting as The Punisher in Daredevil before leading his own acclaimed Netflix spin-off series. He’s set to return to the role in the highly anticipated Daredevil: Born Again, marking his official re-entry into the MCU.
