"I Wouldn't Tangle With His Punisher:" Ben Affleck Praises Jon Bernthal's Punisher & Addresses How His Daredevil Differed From The MCU
Ben Affleck reveals whether he"s watched the MCU"s Daredevil: Born Again and suggests Jon Bernthal"s Punisher is too brutal for his Matt Murdock.
In a Jake"s Takes interview promoting The Accountant 2, Ben Affleck addresses his Daredevil movie and jokes he wouldn"t mess with Jon Bernthal"s ultra-violent Punisher. Affleck takes this opportunity to praise Kevin Feige"s talent for adapting the source material to live-action since the early two thousands. Affleck admits he hasn"t seen Netflix"s Daredevil or Daredevil: Born Again, but says he "wouldn"t tangle with [Jon Bernthal"s] Punisher." Read Affleck"s full comments:
[indent] "Well, his Punisher is good. Daredevil was an interesting story. It was before Kevin Feige had stepped into the role of running Marvel. He imposed a kind of clarity of tone across those movies that sort of figured out the trickiest thing, which is "how do you balance a movie where you got people wearing pajamas and have superpowers, and how seriously you take it, and how much humor is in it, and how much you wink at the audience, and what does the action have to look like." It coincided with visual effects getting to a place where it could look really convincing. It paved the way for great actors like him to really get it done.
There"s a new Daredevil, I haven"t seen it yet, but I certainly love the character, I wish him the best, but I wouldn"t tangle with his Punisher."
