It’s probably going to be a while before we ever see The Punisher and Spider-Man cross paths. But behind closed doors it’s already happened. Jon Bernthal recently spoke to the New York Daily News and he told them that he and Tom Holland teamed up to make their Marvel audition tapes.
“We were making tapes from Ireland in the process of getting him cast in Spider-Man and then he and I made a tape for The Punisher. During this independent movie that we did in Ireland we were constantly making tapes for Marvel — just acting together.”
It’s pretty awesome to know that Bernthal and Holland teamed up to make some tapes. But as Jon Bernthal pointed out, we’re not likely to see those tapes anytime soon.
“These tapes definitely do exist,” he added, “you can call Marvel and ask for it, but that’s like breaking into Fort Knox.”
We all know how Marvel likes their secrets, so it’s likely that those tapes are somewhere very safe. All we can hope for is that maybe Marvel will be generous enough to release them someday.
You can catch Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in “Captain America: Civil War” on May 5, 2016 and you can see Jon Bernthal’s Punisher in action when “Daredevil” season 2 premieres on Netflix on March 18.
