Jon Bernthal shares his thoughts about revisiting ThePunisher: “I’m enormously protective of that character...I was really grateful, respectful and weary of the places where that role took me and the world in which I had to live in'
. While Bernthal was a decorated athlete growing up, he had never really stepped foot onto a tennis court until he was cast as Rick Macci, one of the most successful tennis coaches in the sport’s history. So to believably play Venus and Serena Williams’ tennis coach, Bernthal dedicated himself to the game for three hours a day during the industry shutdown last year.
“I trained at this tennis academy up in my home of Ojai, the Weil Tennis Academy. It was one of the things that was really important to Rei and ultimately really important to me as well,” Bernthal tells. “We really wanted to get the tennis right. Tennis was totally foreign to me, as it was to Rei. But just as athletes, we’ve seen sports that we know in movies and when you don’t get that right, I find it so utterly disrespectful.
