Lemme tell you sumthin' about The Punisher: it's about time he received top billing in a project set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) — and that time is now.

Indeed, The Punisher: One Last Kill will see Jon Bernthal's anti-hero take center stage in a new Marvel TV Special. Thankfully, we don't have much longer to wait for its arrival, either, because it'll make its Disney+ debut later this week.

Don't worry if you don't live on either of those continents. The Marvel Phase 6 production will also be available to watch in other territories, albeit a day later on Wednesday, May 13. Check out the list below to see what time it'll drop where you live:

  • US — Tuesday, May 12 at 6pm PT / 9pm ET
  • Canada — Tuesday, May 12 at 6pm PT / 9pm ET
  • UK — Wednesday, May 13 at 2am BST
  • India — Wednesday, May 13 at 6:30am IST

What is the runtime for The Punisher: One Last Kill?

The Punisher's Special Presentation should last around 60 minutes. View it as a slightly longer version of a traditional Marvel TV show episode, which usually runs between 30 and 50 minutes, rather than a TV movie per se.

It's unclear if that runtime includes its end credits crawl, and a mid- and/or post-credits scene. However, considering One Last Kill is expected to lead directly into the events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, in which Frank Castle will appear, I wouldn't be surprised if there's an end credits scene to stick around for.
