So far, the Punisher has been in three films, all of which didn't sit well with fans. At Marvel’s Comic-Con panel, Kevin Feige revealed that they’re doing it again. Feige says that the character is under the welcoming roof of Marvel Studios now and they want to take their own shot at it. Specifically he said he’s hoping for a “Frank Castle” movie shortly.

Later during a roundtable interview for Thor, Feige addressed the larger issue of Marvel character cross-overs on the big screen. "They've done it in the comics occasionally so you never know. We'd like to do an alliance between other Marvel characters behind other doors," he said.

But added, "We'll see. It's always a pleasant surprise when it happens but there's lots of legal, contractual red tape. They will be few and far between. Awhile."

A “Frank Castle” movie. Interesting.

Excellent find Destroyer! :) This is one of the best bits of news to come out of Comic Con IMO! It would be beyond awesome to see Punisher become a part of the movie universe Marvel Studios have created! And the thought of them doing deals to bring characters from other studios in as well is truly EPIC!!!

Eh, I would have much rather seen someone like Daredevil revert back to Marvel than Punisher. Not really all that interested in another Punisher movie.

i agree with u leee777 Tom Jane was good a Punisher

but they most likely going with a different actor i go for Gerard Butler.

LEEE777
LEEE777 - 7/25/2010, 7:34 AM
telavizion @ I know what ya mean, good ol' DOLPH's was more a 80's action movie than anything else, still it had more heart than WAR ZONE! : P

JAZZ @ Cool lol, but BUTLER for JUDGE DREDD! ; D

Damn did you like GAMER? Saw that two nights ago for the first time on DVD, it was horrible tho BUTLER was alrite in it, pity we'll probably never see him as KRAVEN.

JoshWilding - 7/25/2010, 7:42 AM
LEE: I actually quite enjoyed Gamer! It was crap, lol, but good fun I thought! And hey, I also enjoyed Punisher: Warzone! Yeah, that was also crap but Ray Stevenson was a great Punisher! Damn...maybe my tastes in movies just sucks! :P

TYLER: Yeah, an announcement regarding DD or the Fantastic Four would have been a lot more interesting! Still, at least this is ONE more character back with Marvel Studios - hopefully, one of those I mention (among others) will be next!

I am really happy that the Punisher is now back with Marvel. Simply because if we are ever lucky enough to get a civil war movie I loved the small part he played in the story.

StephenJ - 7/25/2010, 7:55 AM
cool! The Marvel movie universe is looking better and better! I wonder if it will be a complete reboot, or something like they did with Warzone

The problem with Punisher is he has not made good money in theaters at all

Punisher(2004)- WW - $54,700,105
Punisher:War Zone(2008)- WW - $10,100,036

and the movie going pubic only seems him as a guy who wants revenge and nothing more

a guy who wants revenge on his family gets old real fast.I personally think they need to go in a different direction with him.

I loved Jane as Castle, i think he nailed it quite well. Alot better than Dolph and Stevenson.

A rebooted world with Jane in New York city as the Punisher would be amazing. Think of the other characters they could introduce, low level characters. AWESOMENESS!!!

@LEEE777

Gamer was alright for a straight to DVD movie would not watch it in the cinema lol.

Zombie137 - 7/25/2010, 8:15 AM
2004 punisher was made on a budget of 13 million dollars. For it to have made 54 million worldwide is a great success. It was a awesome movie, for what it was made for.
DetBullock
DetBullock - 7/25/2010, 8:19 AM
I'd prefer that Marvel studios would make a movie based only on the MAX series, not necessarily gorey and ultra-violent like Warzone but more sober and ground-rooted without grotesque bad guys like Jigsaw.
P862010
P862010 - 7/25/2010, 8:37 AM
zombie it was made for 33 million and made 54 million that is a bomb

not ad bad as warzone's 35 million budget and made 10 million

It's great that Marvel has reclaimed one of it's characters. Hopefully they can do a good job, but I really think they should wait a while. Another reboot would be too soon.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 7/25/2010, 8:44 AM
Yeah plz not another ORIGIN movie lol.

Zombie137 @ Exactly dude! ; )

Lc @ Yeah lol! ; D

JOSH @ Yeah RAY was okay man, its just the whole rest of the mess that wasn't, nah I thought GAMER was crap,: D original idea for a film though.

JAZZ @ Yeah it did feel straight 2 DVD ya right!

NIGHTAVENGER @ Cool thinking!

GUNSMITH @ Now that mini series by MIKE ZECK is what they should have (based) made for PUNISHER 2, rather than WARZONE, awesome mini series!
HELLZ YEAH @ JMAN!!!

I really like Punisher War Zone and think they shoulda made it like that in 2004. Ray Stevenson makes Thomas Jane look like a bitch.

Epic grab! It's great to hear that we'll be getting another Punisher film, this time by the people who made him. :D

@ P862010

I know that Boxofficemojo.com says the 2004 Punisher movie was made for but its wrong. On the Directors cut Jonathan Hensleigh states that the studio put out into the public that the movie was made for 33 million dollars, when it fact it was just a little over 13 million dollars.

on average when a movie triples its budget its deemed a success.

13 x 3 = 39 million dollars

The Tom Jane movie made 4 times its budget.

There were two reasons it failed.

1 John Travolta.
2 Not in New York City.

Jane really did it for me... They set up such a great series and then nothing!!!
They captured him perfectly... the tortured soul who's doing what has to be done!!! War Zone was a cartoony bloodbath.

I don't want to talk about the other one.
