The Punisher has always been a good foil for Spider-Man. Both are driven by the pain of losing family to violence, but they channel that pain in very different ways. With Jon Bernthal appearing as Frank Castle in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, he\u2019s had to tone down some of the more violent tendencies<\/a> to match the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man tone of the movie. However, Tom Holland would be up for switching things up and seeing what an R-rated Spider-Man could look like.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to pop up in one of [Punisher\u2019s] shows,\u201d Tom Holland said in an interview to promote Spider-Man: Brand New Day.<\/a> \u201cLet\u2019s see what an R-rated version of Spider-Man looks like. I\u2019m so grateful for Jon for taking the leap and being part of the film, and I would love to repay the favour.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is absolutely a great show in the idea of a Spider-Man who stops pulling his punches and starts doing some serious damage to the villains he is fighting, though we also like the idea that an R-rated Spider-Man is just him having one scene where he starts screaming profanities at Punisher but then immediately apologizes when he calms down again. Kind of like when you stub your toe on the table in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re getting to see what the MCU Punisher looks like in a PG-13 movie this summer when Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31, 2026.<\/a> Maybe someday in the future we\u2019ll get to see Tom Holland as an R-rated Spider-Man as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Punisher has always been a good foil for Spider-Man.
