Puncher Cosplay should define Frank Castle's MCU portrayal's benchmark.
Making his formal MCU debut with his next appearance in Daredevil: Born Again is The Punisher. Although he has been in the same sandbox as Daredevil and Luke Cage, this will be the first time the Punisher has been verified to share a reality with the likes of Spider-Man and the Avengers. Stated differently, Frank Castle might find himself battling side-by-side brilliantly colored Costumed superheroes in not too distant future, and his own suit should reflect that.
The Punisher debuted in Marvel Comics in The Amazing Spider-Man #129, and this Cosplay incorporated his outfit. Therefore, the MCU should look to cosplay like this to define the Punisher's future in the shared universe and keep maximum comic-accuracy. The Punisher is formally in the main canon - complete with aliens, magic, and a range of bug-themed superheroes - and it's time for him to look the part. He is no more in his own dark corner of a semi-canonical MCU.
Punisher's Costume Gets Hyper-Realistic Recreation in Cosplay Accurate for Comic-Books
Among Marvel Comics' most grounded characters, The Punisher's narratives are far more realistic and brutal than those of other popular antiheroes. That's a feature of the character that live-action adaptations have absolutely nailed every time, but tone is only a portion of getting a totally comic-accurate rendition; established aesthetic is presumably just as crucial. And that's exactly what one super-fan accomplished since comic-accurate Cosplay perfectly replics the Punisher's outfit.
Easily the most Comic-Accurate live-action version of the Punisher that exists, the cosplayer is seen in an Instagram post by user Spidermannreallife (handle: @calebweekss). This "Punisher" look as like he was taken straight from the pages of the comics thanks in large part to the all-black armor-plated bodysuit with white gloves and boots, white, massive utility belt, and the unabashed skull symbol worn conspicuously on his breast.
Though that may soon change as Marvel Comics have revealed their dark, redining origin, Punisher's skull symbol is arguably more iconic than he himself.
This cosplay is so incredible because it is comic-accurate, yet if one reads through the more current Puncher comics, that is not exactly the case. Indeed, given the Punisher's first costume, it is correct; yet, Frank Castle hasn't worn that suit in some years, and that has to alter. Seeing this costume come to life is amazing and reminds Marvel Comics fans of what has been lacking for many years. Perhaps one with deeper entwined narratives with other Marvel Comics characters, the Punisher should go back to his original suit and reclaim it for a new era.
In the near future of the MCU, the Punisher might be battling alongside the likes of Spider-Man and the Avengers; thus, he should start fighting once more in Marvel Comics. And in both circumstances, the Punisher should dress in his original, classic costume, the same one that is blatantly shown in this hyper-realistic cosplay.
To be clear, the earliest Marvel Comics depictions of the character greatly inspire this version of the Punisher. Since then, the Punisher has worn more subdued versions of his costume in later storylines, which more closely reflect what is shown in Live-Action Puncher Media. But what this cosplay has above all other live-action adaptations is that it isn't afraid to show the Punisher exactly how he was introduced, so proving that the official movies and shows shouldn't be either.
Though not his face, which is deftly rendered in hyper-realistic cosplay, the Punisher's live-action representations have caught the tone of the comic.

Puncher Cosplay reminds Marvel what has been lacking from the Comics.
