Daredevil: Born Again episode 4 just premiered on Disney+ and brought back a major character in a huge way. For the first time since 2019, after last starring in The Punisher season 2, Jon Bernthal returned to the role of The Punisher in a meaty scene with Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock. While he was only around for this scene in episode 4 of Daredevil: Born Again, it does set up a future storyline for him.
However, following his appearance in Daredevil: Born Again episode 4, many fans praised Bernthal's return as Frank Castle in the show. Bernthal's return has been requested by many ever since Netflix's era of Marvel shows ended. In the scene, Frank Castle can be seen confronting Matt Murdock about losing sight of who he really is and asking him why he hasn't done anything about Foggy's death yet.
It's an intense scene that highlights the best of both the actors, and many fans immediately labeled it one of the best interactions between the two characters.

Exploring Punisher's storyline in Daredevil: Born Again episode 4
In Daredevil: Born Again, fans have gotten to see that the cops have now adopted the Punisher symbol and are dishing out justice in his name using it. This is especially visible in moments when the cops can be seen having Punisher tattoos, and a man dressed up as the vigilante also shoots Hector Ayala at the end of episode 3.
When Matt finds a bullet casing with the Punisher logo on it at Hector's murder site, he seeks out Frank. There, Frank shows his disgust for the cops being his fans, and it ultimately leads to a conversation between the two, with Frank telling Matt to be honest with himself.
Fans can now watch Daredevil: Born Again episode 4 on Disney+.
