Actor Jon Bernthal will reprise his role as ‘Frank Castle’ in the live-action “The Punisher Special Presentation”directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, reportedly based on Marvel Comics’ “The Punisher: The Final Days” #53 (1991):
“…that story begins with ‘The Punisher’, who has a rocket launcher and fires it at drug pushers in front of a meth lab. Only one pusher survives the destruction and under coercion, tells the Punisher that the materials were supplied to them by a man named ‘Ishmael DeLeon’, who works for ‘Howard Nees’. Then, the Punisher leaves the man as he drives away in his van, before the lab can explode some more.
“Meanwhile, at the ‘Fisk Building’, ‘George Wong’ arrives and informs ‘Kingpin’ of Howard Nees' drug distribution operations in the area. In order to handle their problem, Wong suggests detaining ‘Microchip’ in order to persuade the Punisher to kill Nees.
“ At Microchip's and the Punisher's hideout, the latter asks the former to search for Howard Nees, who has been shooting up the Kingpin's pushers, resulting in some innocent people getting caught in the crossfire. However, Microchip claims that he has been working on Nees for two weeks non-stop and that he needs a break and that he enters in the ‘47th Annual Toy Fair’ in which he made a remote control tank.
“At the fair, Microchip also plays a video game called ‘Tank Fight’ until he is found by Fisk's men and dragged away by them. The men take Microchip to Kingpin. Then Kingpin orders his men to cut of some of Microchip's fingers and seal it in a package.
“Meanwhile, Castle is training when he gets a phone call, informing him of a ‘package’. The Punisher returns to Microchip's room and opens the package and finds Microchip's fingers and a note that tells him to go to Fisk Tower at 9:00 P.M.
“Meanwhile, at Fisk Tower, several gunmen wait at the entrance for the Punisher, who rams his van into the building and over the gunmen, dodging bullets and rockets before turning back, making Fisk's men chase the van, which Castle set on auto before jumping out.
“Then, Castle goes back to Fisk Tower, up the elevator, to confront Kingpin. Kingpin threatens to mail more body parts to Castle if he does not join him in taking down Nees, giving him one week to do so.
