Marvel Really Wants You to Know That Viral Punisher Scene Wasn’t Unfinished VFX

Marvel says the viral Punisher scene in the new Disney+ special was not unfinished CGI, but a completed shot using a stunt double and face replacement VFX.

Behind-the-scenes photos shared by Marvel and Disney show how Jon Bernthal’s character was filmed, backing up the studio’s explanation.

Reports say the awkward look came from editing and compositing, not from a half-finished effects shot.

The clarification addresses fan criticism of Marvel’s VFX work and renews interest in Bernthal’s next MCU appearance.
