Jon Bernthal Almost Broke Charlie Cox’s Rib While Filming ‘Daredevil: Born Again’

As a die-hard Marvel fan with a soft spot for gritty superhero stories, the upcoming “Daredevil: Born Again” series has me utterly ecstatic! The return of Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin and Charlie Cox as Daredevil is a dream come true. Add in Jon Bernthal‘s Punisher, and it’s like a perfect storm of excitement.


The eagerly awaited Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again series is set to make a significant impact on the direction of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s TV productions. You may recall that Daredevil and other characters from the Marvel Television brand have recently been brought into the MCU, as the Netflix shows were previously categorized under a different label, thus expanding numerous creative opportunities.

What’s generating all the buzz about the show, beyond the anticipation over D’Onofrio reprising his Kingpin role, is the affection audiences hold for Charlie Cox‘s leading character, which has many excited to see him resume this part in a solo series. To make things even more intriguing, Jon Bernthal is back as The Punisher, and if you’ve been following the news, it appears that filming has been quite lively and action-packed.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve got a juicy tidbit to share! In an exclusive chat with IMDb, Jon Bernthal and Krysten Ritter spilled some behind-the-scenes secrets about our favorite series. It turns out that during filming, Bernthal nearly fractured Cox’s rib – quite fitting, considering the ruthless nature of The Punisher!

The interview in question was a long one that the cast members of Daredevil: Born Again gave to IMDb, but this detail struck us as the most interesting one, which is why we have decided to report on it here on Fiction Horizon. Here is the excerpt:

If for some reason you can’t watch the video, I wanted to share an interesting tidbit I found on IMDb about my experiences as an actor. It stated that my nose was broken a total of 14 times while working on different projects. However, I recently learned that it actually happened 15 times! Someone asked me if Charlie Cox was one of the actors who broke my nose, but I have to clarify that’s not true.

During the filming of “Daredevil”, Charlie Cox had an unpleasant encounter with Jon Bernthal. As Bernthal admitted, he nearly caused Cox to suffer a broken rib due to a particularly forceful kick. This behavior fits well with Bernthal’s character, eliciting laughter from us, even though we’re relieved that Cox emerged unscathed and in good health.
