Jon Bernthal is gearing up for his return as Frank Castle in Marvel's upcoming Daredevil: Born Again. While fans await his gritty on-screen reunion, his name is making unexpected rounds in the podcast circuit through casual backstage mix-ups.
On a recent episode of SmartLess, host Will Arnett brought up the actor during a conversation about Broadway shows, only to realize he had the wrong guy. "You know what? I was talking to our buddy who's, who's doing, um, Dog Day Afternoon, not John Bernthal, but I was talking to... You, you guys know John Ortiz, he's the best," Arnett explained, correcting himself mid-sentence to praise John Ortiz instead.
Though it was just a brief slip of the tongue, the moment shows how Jon Bernthal remains a constant reference point among his Hollywood peers. As the rollout for his next Marvel chapter begins, expect his name to transition from accidental name-drops to the main event on the interview circuit.
