He looks too much like an "every man". A nice, approachable guy.

Thomas Jane was so fucking perfect. Dat Dirty Laundry : (

Imagine a cable series with that mood and tone.

 

[fallengorn]

I'd like to see Ray Stevenson do it again, without a campy script.

Never dug Thomas Jane as Punisher, even in the short.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Dude does this really weird thing with his mouth when he tries to act angry and shit.

Thomas Jane is the only Punisher.

 

[enzo_gt]

I'm confused. The MCU has had its Punisher since 2004:

Why would they need to recast?

The MCU started in 2008.

 

[GCQuinton]

Yeah, why is everyone saying Thomas Jane when we have Ray Stephenson. Dude looks like Punisher Max Frank and I think that's a good direction to go.

Still my favorite Punisher scene (voiced by Stevenson):

Agreed aside from the bad script and comic relief moments, Ray Stevenson was the perfect Frank Castle/Punisher. Super huge towering vigilante that showed little remorse. I think that The Punisher may also work better as a TV series rather than a movie. I would rather they gave him a Netflix series rather than Luke Cage.

Because Thomas Jane's Punisher was atrocious?

Fuck that stupid shit movie.

 

[Dalek]

Forget movie. I want a Punisher long form Netflix series in the MCU.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

I think Anson Mount could be a decent Punisher:

Throw in Mads Mikkelsen as Jigsaw.

 

[keltickennedy]

HIGHFIVE!!

 

[lethial]

I just want a new punisher movie. Dirty laundry was such a cock tease.

This kind of guy actually works in terms of look. A guy who could convincingly stare into your soul with a glare. I'm not saying this is who they should cast as I don't watch Hell on Wheels so I can't speak to his acting ability, but that's the kind of look they should go for. Milo can't pull that off without looking like a drama student trying to be tough.

 

[randomwab]

Get Thomas Jane back and follow Ennis' Punisher Max series. So many arcs that would make great movies in there.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

If Marvel make Frank the star of anything at all, it's most likely a Netflix show.

This is such an underrated movie. Probably one of my top five favorite MCU/superhero films, really.

He did good acting in Hells, so did Common
He knew how to play his character

I can see him as the Punisher, will need to build up his upper body a lil bit

 

[Sinatar]

If they really want to recast Punisher, then the answer is Manu Bennet.

 

[Murrah]

Dude does this really weird thing with his mouth when he tries to act angry and shit.

Thomas Jane is the only Punisher.

Isn't half of his face partially paralyzed or something? Think I remember hearing about that during height of Heroes popularity.

Anyway, never seen him in anything but Heroes and that's not a good litmus test for acting ability, so I have no real opinion on this idea. But Punisher vs Daredevil on the tv show would be amazing

 

[FairyD]

I don't really have much hope for a good Punisher series. I'm hoping it will be a hard R.

 

[strafer]

Shia Lebouf

 

[Anung]

I don't think I could get past the weird side mouth thing he does when he talks. Person who plays Frank needs to be built like a machine. I do hope we get a Punisher series eventually.

 

[anaron]

His lip is partially paralyzed

 

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

Just get Thomas Jane back. He's a great punisher, can act and actually likes the character. Done deal.

 

[HyperZone<3]

Terry Crews was born to play The Barracuda.

This better not be for some PG-13/network television revival. If you're going to neuter the character you might as well not do it at all.

 

[Discotheque]

Ray Stevenson was better and was also in the better punisher movie

By far

 

[MacNille]

As long they make it set in MAX univerise, I am happy. I don't want fucking Iron man or shit like that in my punisher film. And try to make it set in the 80s or 70s. I want to see him as a Vietnam vet.

 

[Decado]

What station is this set to air on?

If it is a network forget it. It will suck no matter who is involved.

 

[captive]

Thomas Jane is the only answer worth considering.

Netflix

 

[Hagi]

Ew he's terrible.

Get Jane back and use Dirty Laundry as the opening for the first episode.

 

[RangersFan]

nooooooooooooooo

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Come on.

No way this is true. You don't go from Ray Stevenson to this ass clown. You just don't.

 

[nomis]

which means we should roll this drum to the bottom of a tar pit and never speak of it again.

Precisely.

 

[Decado]

Netflix

Seriously? I thought they had Daredevil, Iron Fist and Cage or something. No idea Punisher was part of it.

Now...get a better actor for the role.

 

[mreddie]

 

[Shaanyboi]

Remember when he really wanted to be Nightwing?

 

[PhantomZone]

The guy is a bad actor and would be horrible as Frank Castle.

 

[antonz]

They really should just get Jane back. The Dude loves the character and is willing to jump back in. The only reason he left was all he feet dragging over the 2nd movie.

Dirty Laundry shows he can do the darker tone just fine so Punisher Max that stuff.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

 

[AgentOtaku]

As a Punisher fan, I think he has potential

Ditto

Always appreciate actors that are fans themselves of the property ala Thomas Jane. Shame we never got to see him in an actual legit Punisher film as he loved being the character.

 

[LyleLanley]

They should get Idris Elba.

 

[Radogol]

They should get Idris Elba.

Or Michael Fassbender.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

"Thats my boy" is the only time he seemed like someone other than Peter from Heroes.

[Miles Quaritch]

They should get Idris Elba.

They should get Ray Stevenson back. It's not like he's doing much in Thor.

Compete waste of his talents.

 

[J10]

Or Michael Fassbender.

Guys, wait. Emily Blunt as The Punisher.

 

[unholyrevenger72]

PG-13 Punisher Confirmed....

 

[Pachinko]

Well if nothing else, we'll get our first side talking punisher if this happens. As long as there aren't any Nathans in punisher mythology I believe we'll be okay.

 

[Brian Fellows]

That does not sound promising,

 

[Replicant]

Thomas Jane OR Ray Stevenson OR Richard Armitage. There are other better choices than Milo V. He's too short.

 

[triplestation]

my personal choice
