Special "Punisher: The Last Kill" to be shown in Russian cinemas

Cinemaplex reported that Marvel's special "Punisher: The Last Kill" will be available in Russian cinemas starting May 16. This indicates that some networks plan to show the project as a standalone release.

Abroad, its premiere will take place on May 12 exclusively on Disney+, with no theatrical release planned. Thus, Russian viewers will actually get a unique opportunity to watch the new Marvel project on the big screen.

Jon Bernthal once again played the main role, returning as Frank Castle after "Daredevil: Born Again". The special's runtime will be about an hour. This is the longest Special Presentation in Marvel Studios' history, allowing it to be considered almost a feature film.

The script for the project was written by Bernthal himself along with director Reinaldo Marcus Green. Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum previously stated that the special combines large-scale action with a more emotional and dark story about the Punisher.

It is assumed that "The Last Kill" will be a link between the second season of "Daredevil: Born Again", the finale of which took place on May 6, and the film "Spider-Man: A New Day", which premieres on July 31.
