My MCU Punisher Casting Choice

My MCU Punisher Casting Choice

My take on who should play the Punisher as part of the Marvel Comics Universe. Move over Tom Jane, and please step aside Ray Stevenson... Oh and Dolph Lundgren, you can just disappear, thanks.

Hey folks!

In 2013, Marvel gained the rights to The Punisher! Prior to this, there were 2 films released from Lionsgate, which were critically and commercially unsuccessful, and a 1989 film starring Dolph Lundgren which I won't waste the energy in my fingers typing about.

Aaaanyway, I've chosen an actor who I think would portray the Punisher nicely as a team player within the epic MCU. That man is...

JEFF WOLFE!





Who is this individual I hear you ask? Why should I care? 

Well, this man is 6ft 2" of high-kicking Martial Arts bad-assery, with 20 years experience under his belt. He's a seasoned actor, who has appeared in Drive (2011), where he got his face stomped in by Ryan Gosling in "that elevator scene". He was also Bob Banks in Green Lantern, and also had a tiny little role in Avengers Assemble (his charachter was credited as 'Tall Thug').

Furthermore, he's a tough guy! By that, I mean he's a professional stunt actor who actually was a stunt double in Punisher: War Zone. He was also a stunt performer in Daredevil and worked on the stunts for Captain America: The First Avenger. So yeah... LOTS of experience with Marvel slapped on his resume already!

Lastly, just look at him! He fit's Frank Castle's profile perfectly.

Well guys, that's my opinion. Please share your thoughts. Much Love! :)

Frank Grillo has always been my choice, he would be so much better as The Punisher rather than Crossbones.

And he basically gets to play a Punisher type character in The Purge 2

@Moohika

Yeah he would have been a good choice too, but perhaps a tad too old for my liking, at aged 50. Also as he demonstrated with crossbones, he plays a better villain character who you can't help but really hate.

Also, are the pictures in this article coming through okay? All I see is the embed code?

I reckon Richard Armitage would be pretty great!

Just so you know, the website changed the way it uploads images.

Aside from that, never heard of your choice before. But going along with that @Moohika said, the Punisher is actually a older. He was in the military. Given the length of Castle's military career, he wouldn't be a young man.

My personal pic would be Dylan McDermott (The Practice, American Horror Story) Look at him! He's 52 and built like a FREAKIN' OX!

All good alternative choices, especially Tom Hardy. Realistically though, you'd want somebody aged around 40 so you can get at least 3 films out of them before they get too old and no longer look the part.

Also, to embed the images, I just did it the way it's always been done. Does anybody know the 'new way' at all?

@AgentOfChaos91 I do. Writing this article, you've noticed the format has changed.

At the top of the window where you write your article, there's a series of new buttons. One is called "image." Click that first.



After that, a window pops up. From that window, you simply paste an image URL and then click OK
