Overview
- The Marvel Special Presentation began streaming on Disney+ Tuesday and drew strong reviews for Jon Bernthal’s gritty turn, but a short rooftop-fall clip that circulated Wednesday drew widespread mockery for looking like obvious CGI.
- Disney+ acknowledged on X that some viewers experienced missing audio and said its team is working on a solution, confirming the platform is addressing a mixing problem reported by multiple outlets.
- An anonymous production source told The Hollywood Reporter the fall was largely an in‑camera stunt with a stuntman and limited face‑replacement VFX, leaving the exact cause of the unsettling look unresolved and debated.
- The 45–60 minute one‑off, co-written by Bernthal with director Reinaldo Marcus Green, centers on Frank Castle in a raw, character-focused story that pulls from the ‘Welcome Back, Frank’ era and introduces Ma Gnucci to the MCU.
- The moment lands amid broader scrutiny of Marvel’s visual effects in recent years, and while streamers sometimes update shots after release, there has been no announcement of any planned changes to this special.
