2024 saw Punisher actor Jon Bernthal win his first Emmy, underscoring how exciting his upcoming return in the Daredevil: Born Again cast is for both the show and the MCU on a broader level.
While Bernthal didn’t win the Emmy for playing the Punisher – instead gaining the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Mikey in The Bear season 2 – the award shows that the actor’s talents have only been cemented with time, further enhancing the potential of his MCU return.
Jon Bernthal had previously been nominated for the same Emmy in 2023, once again for his role in The Bear – though this time in season 1. His 2024 win adds another award to his collection, with the actor having already won Best Supporting Actor at the 2021 Detroit Film Critics Society for his role in King Richard, winning the National Board of Review Award for Best Cast with Fury in 2014, and gaining a Garland Award for Outstanding Acting Ensemble and an Ovation Award for Best Acting Ensemble in a Play for his role in Jon Pollono’s Small Engine Repair.
