Bernthal often plays intense, violent, damaged characters, like Mikey from ‘The Bear' and Shane from ‘The Walking Dead.' When talking about himself and his characters, Bernthal says that it's easy for someone who's scared to turn into someone who's scary. He currently stars in ‘The Odyssey' and the new Spider-Man film, ‘A Brand New Day.' He spoke with Tonya Mosley about how he went from being an angry young man to a disciplined, dedicated artist.

pWotD Episode 3374: Spider-Man: Brand New Day Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 361,888 views on Tuesday, 28 July 2026 our article of the day is Spider-Man: Brand New Day.Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a 2026 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. Produced by Columbia Pictures, Marvel Studios, and Pascal Pictures, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the fourth film in the MCU Spider-Man film series following Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). The film was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Tom Holland stars as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, alongside Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, and Mark Ruffalo. In the film, Parker anonymously protects New York City as the hero Spider-Man and investigates a powerful new threat while his superpowers undergo a surprising and potentially dangerous evolution.Sony was developing a fourth MCU Spider-Man film by August 2019, and producer Amy Pascal revealed in November 2021 that it was intended to be the first in a new trilogy starring Holland. Work on the story began that December, with Holland more involved in development than he was for the previous films. McKenna and Sommers returned as writers by February 2023, Cretton was hired to direct by October 2024, and the title—derived from the 2008 comic book storyline "Brand New Day" that reset Spider-Man's status quo—was announced in March 2025. The producers wanted Holland's Parker to be a "proper Spider-Man" for the first time, on his own and fighting street-level crime in New York City. Ahead of filming, Bernthal and Ruffalo were revealed to be reprising their MCU roles of Frank Castle / Punisher and Bruce Banner / Hulk. Filming took place from August to December 2025, with location filming in Glasgow, Scotland, and throughout England. Soundstage work occurred at Pinewood Studios in England.Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiered at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on July 27, 2026, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 31, as part of Phase Six of the MCU. The film received positive reviews from critics.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:54 UTC on Wednesday, 29 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Danielle.
Tällä kertaa Marvel arvostelua myös Leffahullu kanavalla, kun vuorossa uusin Hämis leffa Spider-Man: Brand New Day.Olen todella iso Hämähäkkimies fani ja jo hyvin nuorena aloitin lukemaan Hämähäkkimies lehteä ja sitä kautta muita Marvel lehtiä ja luen niitä edelleen tänä päivänä. Ja isona Marvel fanina perustin myös Marvel Podcast Suomen, jossa käymme läpi niin Marvelin leffat, sarjat, sarjakuvat, kuin kaiken muunkin Marvel maailmaan liittyvän. Nyt kun tuli järjestyksessä jo neljäs Tom Hollandin tähdittämä Hämis leffa, odotin sitä todella paljon ja päätin arvostella sen myös omalle Leffahullu kanavalle, ennen kuin otamme sen käsittelyyn MPS puolella. Hollandin ensimmäinen trilogia on Spider-Man leffoja parhaimillaan, joten tätä on todellakin odotettu. Mutta miten tämä sitten toimi? Miten näyttelijät suoriutui? Entä mitä odotan jatkolta? Tai kuka on suosikki Spider-Man näyttelijä? Näihin haetaan vastauksia arvostelussa. No olihan tämä todella mahtava leffa ja Tom Holland ja Zendaya veti parhaat roolisuoritukset Peterinä ja MJ:nä. Myös Bernthal oli taattua laatua ja samoin Sadie Sink. Leffa oli yllättävä, siinä oli hyvää draamaa ja huumoria, sekä mahtavia toimintakohtauksia. Eikä seitillä swengailu ole varmaan koskaan näyttänyt näin hyvältä. Lisää mietteitä arvostelussa. Aiotko mennä katsomaan? Tai oletko jo nähnyt? Mitä mieltä? Kuka on sinun suosikki Hämis näyttelijä? Entä suosikki Hämis leffa?
Is Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey a true cinematic masterpiece—or an impressive visual epic that falls just short of Nolan's best work? On this episode of The Next Reel, Tyler Johns and Lance Taylor break down one of the most anticipated movies of 2026: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey After seeing the film twice during its premiere weekend, Tyler shares his complete review of Nolan's ambitious adaptation of Homer's legendary Greek epic. The discussion covers the movie's enormous scale, stunning IMAX cinematography, emotional themes, major performances and the importance of choosing the right theatrical format. Tyler explains why watching The Odyssey outside of a full 70mm presentation can affect the film's aspect ratio, visual impact and overall sense of immersion. They also discuss Matt Damon's performance as Odysseus, including how he handles the character's guilt, shame, exhaustion and helplessness throughout the journey. Tyler also highlights Jon Bernthal's performance as Menelaus, praising Bernthal for stepping outside the aggressive, hot-headed roles audiences often associate with him. While many early viewers have called The Odyssey a masterpiece, Tyler offers a more measured reaction. He considers the film a powerful visual spectacle and gives it 4 out of 5 stars, but does not rank it among Christopher Nolan's very best movies. The review also examines several creative decisions made in adapting Homer's original story, including notable pieces of dialogue and mythology that were changed, shortened or removed. Did Nolan's version capture everything that makes the original epic so memorable? Should audiences prioritize seeing it in IMAX, or could waiting for the digital and streaming release provide a more complete visual experience? Before getting into The Odyssey, Lance recaps a scorching weekend trip to New Orleans that unexpectedly became a New Orleans-themed movie marathon. That includes Nicolas Cage's bizarre and completely over-the-top performance in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, along with a viewing of the 1975 Paul Newman thriller The Drowning Pool. Then, Tyler and Lance take a trip through movie history as they reveal their personal *op five nostalgic summer movies. These are not simply the biggest blockbusters or the most critically acclaimed summer releases. They are the movies connected to unforgettable theater experiences, childhood friendships, family memories, music, vacations and specific moments from their younger years. Which films made their lists? Which summer classics still hold up decades later? Which movie memories are about more than just the movie itself? Watch the full episode to hear both countdowns and see which selections earn the number-one spots. Let us know in the comments: What did you think of Christopher Nolan's *The Odyssey*? Is it one of Nolan's best movies? Should moviegoers see it in 70mm IMAX? What are the five summer movies that bring back the strongest memories for you?
Take 240: What's NewBig week. Jonathan and JP are back and there's a lot to get into.List It or Nix It kicks things off with seven fresh trailers — Mayday, I Play Rocky, The Uprising, Behemoth, The Other Mommy, Bad Apples, and Doomsday all go through the gauntlet.In What We've Been Watching, Jonathan saw The Odyssey and then apparently went on a full childhood cinema tour — Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The Pagemaster, Harriet the Spy, Stuart Little, Shark Tale, and Zathura. JP brings Project Hail Mary, Lawrence of Arabia, After Hours, and The Odyssey to the table, with House of the Dragon and Silo on the TV side.Then the news, and it's a good one this week.The Odyssey opened to $124.5 million domestically and $264.1 million globally — Nolan's biggest worldwide opening ever, beating The Dark Knight Rises. The only films that opened bigger this year are Toy Story 5 and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Jon Bernthal filmed the Trojan Horse sequence submerged in cold water, Nolan offered to pull him out, and Bernthal's response was essentially: try harder. The film has no real competition until Spider-Man on July 31, which gives it room to run on a $250 million budget that needs the legs.And then — the Avengers: Doomsday trailer dropped this morning. First proper look at Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. Thor rallying heroes, closing with "we need a miracle" before turning around stunned at a "hey pal." Channing Tatum as Gambit. Cyclops, Mystique, Ant-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Wakandans. Tickets on sale now. Opens December 18. The SDCC Hall H panel is Saturday — further reveals expected.It's a good time to love movies.
Frank Castle returns, wreaking havoc on those who got it comin' in this action-packed, one-shot special on Disney+. Co-written by the man behind the skull himself, Jon Bernthal, One Last Kill finds Frank trapped in a high-rise tenement, dispatching bad guys after a bounty is placed on his head by an enemy with a personal score to settle. On the pod, we discuss how this special fits into the larger Punisher universe first established on Netflix, break down what works—and what doesn't—and spotlight a few of One Last Kill's guest stars, including a memorable appearance by Bernthal's own daughter. We also compare key plot elements in the special to The Raid 2 and debate how this version of the Punisher might fit into the MCU proper ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
This week on Fantastic Forum, we are taking a look at two very different stories making waves in comics and streaming. First up is The Punisher: One Last Kill on Disney Plus, the gritty new Marvel special starring Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle. Pulled back into a war he tried to leave behind, Castle finds himself facing old enemies, unfinished business, and one final mission soaked in violence and reckoning. We are breaking down whether Bernthal's return delivers the brutal intensity fans have been waiting for and how this story fits into Marvel's darker corner of the universe. Then we turn to If Destruction Be Our Lot #1 from Image Comics, written by Matthew Rosenberg and Mark Elijah Rosenberg with art by Andy MacDonald, colors by Francesco Segala, and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Set in a future where humanity is extinct and only the robots left behind remain, the story follows an animatronic Abraham Lincoln named Abe who begins questioning the empty routine of a machine-run world. Blending existential sci-fi and dark humor, the oversized debut explores what it means to keep searching for something more when everything else is gone.

It's great to be back recording this month's podcast. Me and Mark haven't crossed paths much over the last four weeks for various reasons but as always we soon start discussing plenty of relevant topics that may just help put an extra carp or two on the bank.This time round we cover ammonia spikes in lakes, the cycle of dissolved oxygen and how this relates to bite times, rancid bait and how this can completely ruin a spot plus our usual dose of life's trials and tribulations. Then we have the much loved Panthers sermon back as Tim's global "In Pursuit of the Largest" pilgrimage comes to an end before we roll into our guest chapter. This month it's Mr Big Carp Buzz himself, Louis Bernthal aka Berny or berny_tighlines on insta. Now Berney is someone that lives and breathes his fishing however due to family commitments his angling is extremely limited. Despite him struggling to find time to wet a line he's always on hand to congratulate his mates on captures without an ounce of jealousy. His buzz for carp fishing is infectious and when he does get to wet a line, let's just say he makes the most of every single minute of his slice of freedom. Berny is partial to living like a shipwreck survivor in pursuit of big, wild carp and his never give up attitude is an asset that has driven him to extremes to ensure his public lake dreams become reality. Enjoy.

In this episode, we review the Disney+ original special presentation from Marvel Studios, The Punisher: One Last Kill, starring Jon Bernthal.

This short film was co written and directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and sees Jon Bernthal return as the titular character and serves as the other co writer on this film. While this film follows the character from the “Daredevil: Born Again” series, it does not follow the events of the Netflix series which serves as its own story. In this film, Frank Castle is plagued by the ghost of his past from family and friends he's lost along the way but his mental health and combat training are put to the ultimate when the mob puts a bounty on his head. Even though the Netflix series saw success with their own cinematic universe, those series were eventually ended after Disney bought the rights to the characters in 2022 with a majority of the cast remaining intact including Bernthal as “The Punisher”, Charlie Cox as “Daredevil” and Vincent D'Nofrio as “Kingpin”.

In this classic April 2021 conversation, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff sits down with actor Jon Bernthal for a raw, unfiltered look at America at a breaking point—through the eyes of a storyteller who has spent years playing warriors, cops and complicated men on the edge. They dig into service, violence, fatherhood, justice and what it really means to “have someone's back” when the cameras are off and the country is in crisis. Bernthal and Rieckhoff get real about the distance between Hollywood's image of war and the lived experience of veterans and military families, and why listening to people who have carried the weight is more urgent than ever.

Do all good movies require a sequel? We ask that question for two recent releases, Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) and The Accountant 2 (2025). The original films were very enjoyable and exciting, but is there enough meat on the bone for a second trip? Why is it so hard to follow up a good film? Do you think money is the driver, or there is more story to tell? Let us know by leaving a review.Also Play:Cinema Chain Game--------------------------------------------Subscribe, rate, and review:Apple Podcasts: Our Film FathersSpotify: Our Film FathersYouTube: Our Film Fathers---------------------------------------------Follow Us:Instagram: @ourfilmfathersTwitter / X: @ourfilmfathersEmail: ourfilmfathers@gmail.com
This week, the numbers man is back and this time he's brought his brother, as we go back to our roots by revisiting the brand new sequel for a movie we first covered nearly three years ago! It's 2025's The Accountant 2, directed by Gavin O'Connor and starring Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, J.K. Simmons, Daniella Pineda, Alison Wright and Robert Morgan. Anna Kendrick does not return for this one, but the movie aptly fills the void left by her absence by letting the Wolff Boys bro out for the bulk of the run-time this time around, and Bernthal is particularly outstanding in what is pure, uncut Dudes Rock cinema. Does the story make sense? Does it even matter? As the original found second life on TV and streaming, this nine-years-later sequel has been built to fill a three-hour programming block on cable in the not-so-distant future. The plot is needlessly complicated and hard to follow, but frankly none of that matters and the film is still fun as hell. Plus: we catch up on some recent theatrical outings, including Thunderbolts*, Bring Her Back, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Friendship and Clown in a Cornfield. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, The Accountant 2 is already available to stream on Amazon Prime despite the fact that it dropped in theaters a month and a half ago. Other works discussed on this episode include Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Dick Tracy, Top Gun, The NeverEnding Story, Crimes of the Future, Talk To Me, Tucker & Dale vs Evil, Hot Fuzz, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, Dog Man, Point of No Return and many more! We'll be back before too long, but we don't know when or what movie we'll be talking about, so keep your eye on our Instagram and BlueSky feeds for more. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

The first ACCOUNTANT came out nearly a decade ago. Have they figured out the formula to make this a compelling series? Let's talk Affleck, Bernthal, Airstreams and hacking on this week's main feed MAM!Join us on Patreon! madaboutmoviespodcast.com/vip
The sequel you never knew you needed but now you want. A great movie the expands on the first. Always a good start when you can bring back the cast and have the same director and writer. If you're not a fan you will be once you realise it's like John Wick meets Rainman on a spreadsheet with neurodivergent military grade action. If that wasn't enough the scenes with Ben and Jon Bernthal are the best. Playing brothers on screen is easy when they already have a visible bond. Join me as we unpack this worthy sequel and dive into “The Accountant” universe.

For this week's main podcast review, Joselyn Safadi, Giovanni Lago, Megan Lachinski, Will Mavity, and I are reviewing and discussing the latest film from Gavin O'Connor, "The Accountant 2," starring Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Daniella Pineda & J. K. Simmons. It's been nine years since the release of "The Accountant," and the film has garnered quite a following since then. Now, the creative forces behind that film are finally back to give us a more entertaining sequel that leans on the brother relationship between Chris and Braxton, allowing Affleck and Bernthal to charm audiences and simultaneously kick human traffickers' asses. What did we think of the story, performances, humor, and action? Please tune in as we touch upon these points and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
