Jon Bernthal is all praise for Tom Holland as the two prepare to reunite in the upcoming Marvel movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The Punisher star expressed excitement about working alongside Holland 12 years after they first met, highlighting the strong bond and chemistry between the actors both on and off screen.
A Long-time Friendship Reignited
Bernthal shared his thoughts at Tokyo Comic-Con 2025, recalling his early work with Sebastian Stan and Tom Holland. He said, “It was such a joy to see these young guys come up and do just incredible work.” The actors first crossed paths on earlier projects like Tony & Tina’s Wedding and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, forming lasting professional and personal relationships.
Having known Holland since he was 17, Bernthal emphasized the Spider-Man star’s incredible talent and dedication. He added that it’s an honour to call both Holland and Stan his friends, reflecting the respect and admiration he holds for them.

On-Screen Dynamics: Punisher Meets Spider-Man
While Bernthal’s Punisher and Holland’s Spider-Man are expected to clash in Spider-Man 4, the tension stems from their contrasting approaches to justice. Spider-Man’s strict no-kill rule and the Punisher’s brutal methods promise several on-screen conflicts before the two find common ground.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will explore Peter Parker’s evolution into a street-level hero, showcasing his interactions with new and familiar faces in the MCU.
Cast Highlights and Anticipated Storylines
Alongside Bernthal and Holland, the movie stars Michael Mando, Sadie Sink, and Mark Ruffalo. While Sink’s character remains a mystery, reports suggest the Punisher might have a Black female sidekick, adding another layer of intrigue to the film. The movie is set to premiere in theatres on July 31, 2026.
Bernthal’s Comments Hint at Future Collaborations
Bernthal’s high praise for Holland indicates a positive on-set experience and hints at potential future collaborations within the MCU. Marvel seems focused on developing Spider-Man as a more grounded, street-level hero, increasing the likelihood of crossovers with Punisher and potentially other street-level heroes.
