It’s confirmed that we haven’t seen the last of Jon Bernthal as the fan-favorite Marvel anti-hero, Frank Castle, aka The Punisher. After making a strong debut in the second season of Netflix’s Daredevil series, Bernthal’s portrayal of The Punisher starred in two solo series before all Marvel-related Netflix shows were axed. Now, he is set to reappear alongside Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, and despite his grim and ominous character, there’s a promising future for him in the MCU ahead.

In the final quarter of fiscal year 2024, The Walt Disney Company achieved impressive results, primarily due to strong performances from its movie theater division and increased streaming services, despite modest dips in profits for ESPN and its experience-based operations relative to the previous year.

Currently, Ekta Kapoor is preparing for the release of the movie “Sambarmati Report,” starring Vikrant Massey and set in the context of the Godhra train burning incident in 2022. The movie will premiere on November 15, but she’s also planning ahead with “Bhooth Bangla,” directed by Priyadarshan and featuring Akshay Kumar, scheduled for release in 2025. Additionally, Siddharth Mahotra will lead the film “Vann” under the direction of Deepak Mishra, who gained fame from Panchayat. Furthermore, there’s news that Ekta Kapoor has agreed to work with Rahi Anil Barve, the director of Tumbbad, on a new feature film as well.

Vikrant Massey has been firmly establishing himself as a reliable actor by taking on significant roles written by authors. Currently, he is focusing on promoting his upcoming movie, The Sabarmati Report. Notably, in a recent discussion, he reminisced about a troubling incident at his father’s workplace that inspired him to begin working when he was seventeen years old.
