Along with my PUNISHER MAX-TYPE movie FANCAST here I give a
bonus 616-TYPE PUNISHER, for an alternate movie that fits into the
regular MARVEL UNIVERSE with all the Superheroes.
PUNISHER MAX:
For a PUNISHER MAX-TYPE film I'd like to actually see an NC-17
rated film but I know that won't ever fly so it would have to be a hard-
R movie. I don't want to see a mostly meaningless violence movie like
WARZONE. Heck, they didn't even establish MAGINTY as the meaty character
he is, just threw him in there for kill-fodder!
In my PUNISHER MAX-TYPE movie idea MAGINTY would be fleshed
out as a character and be more involved in the plot as a main hired
agent of the main bad guy.
My main bad guy would not be NICKY CAVELLA but New York Russian
mob-boss MAN OF STONE , former Russian General NIKOLAI
ALEXANDROVICH ZAKHAROV. NICKY would be the Italian Mob-boss
he is, who is part of the plot but not the main baddie.
FINN COOLEY would now be a high ranking member of the American
Irish Mob and also part of the plot.
But the main villain would be MAN OF STONE, that FRANK CASTLE goes
after in his war on Organized Crime. The whole film would take place
in New York City.
MICROCHIP would still be his compatriot, helping FRANK with the battle
against NIKOLAI ZAKHAROV and his men. But he doesn't get killed like
in WARZONE.
CIA agent KATHRYN O'BRIEN would be an associate of FRANK'S who helps
him with info in his war with ZAKHAROV and like the comics they would
have an intimate interlude.
I made up a new character, ZAKHAROV'S main henchman, GORI
(GRIGORY VOLCHEK). He will be the main guy that goes nose-to-nose
in a face-to-face battle with FRANK during the end of the movie.
Now I've always wanted THOMAS JANE for a new PUNISHER movie
under MARVEL but I don't think MARVEL would ever do that! So,
realistically, I came up with someone new.
PUNISHER 616:
This movie would be the regular MARVEL SUPERHERO UNIVERSE
with KINGPIN, BULLSEYE, DAREDEVIL and SPIDERMAN, in-case
they go with this format.
PUNISHER MAX CASTING:
JON HAMM is about the same age as THOMAS JANE so for a new man to
play FRANK I think he's ideal! My first choice of course will always be JANE
but I realistically think there should to be someone new to start anew for a
new MARVEL-produced movie! JON looks an awful lot like the PUNISHER
MAX FRANK CASTLE and is capable of playing a tough-guy, “TO-THE-MAX”.
THE PUNISHER (FRANK CASTLE): JON HAMM
In the PUNISHER MAX comics MICRO turned on FRANK and FRANK
blew his head off! But in this movie MICRO is still his compatriot. I want
a tougher more badass gunrunner for MICRO thus JOHN GOODMAN
came right to mind for this part.
MICROCHIP (DAVID LINUS LIEBERMAN): JOHN GOODMAN
JAKE WEBER is an amazing actor and would play the put-upon
DECTIVE SOAP to perfection, the man who is unfortunate enough to be
saddled with the PUNISHER TASK FORCE.
DETECTIVE SOAP (MARTIN SOAP): JAKE WEBER
KATHRYN O'BRIEN: SAFFRON BURROWS
MAN OF STONE (NIKOLAI ALEXANDROVICH ZAKHAROV): BOB HOSKINS
GORI (GRIGORY VOLCHEK): RAY WINSTONE
NICKY CAVELLA: WILLIAM FICHTNER
MAGINTY: GARY DOURDAN
PITSY (CARMINE GAZERRA): JOE PANTOLIANO
INK: JOHN TURTURRO
FINN COOLEY: PADDY CONSIDINE
This would not be a cartoonish “THE RUSSIAN” who smashes FRANK through
walls, that's just silly. This would be a serious RUSSIAN who is a
henchman of ZAKHAROV.
THE RUSSIAN: GLENN JACOBS
PUNISHER 616 CASTING:
THE PUNISHER (FRANK CASTLE): JON HAMM
MICROCHIP (DAVID LINUS LIEBERMAN): JOHN GOODMAN
DETECTIVE SOAP (MARTIN SOAP): JAKE WEBER
DAREDEVIL (MATTHEW “MATT” MURDOCK): MISHA COLLINS
I think JGL is perfect for PETER PARKER/SPIDER-MAN.
SPIDER-MAN (PETER PARKER): JOSEPH GORDON LEVITT
MARVEL should make KANE the next WOLVERINE after they get the rights back
for him.
WOLVERINE (JAMES “LOGAN” HOWLETT): CHRISTIAN KANE
Christian Kane definitely has the musculature to play LOGAN . He needs to
be the next WOLVERINE, “THE” short beefy “RUNT”-WOLVERINE from the comics.
CHRISTIAN KANE has definitely got LOGAN'S demeanor down!
This would be the regular Caucasian KINGPIN. I surely don't want another
terribly cliched' African-American Gangsta KINGPIN. All they gotta do is
give GLENN a fat belly. I know he could step up to this acting challenge.
He's got it in him! Now, I'm not saying here that JACOBS should play both
THE RUSSIAN “AND” KINGPIN, this would only be if they didn't make a
PUNISHER MAX-TYPE PUNISHER and put FRANK in the regular
MARVEL UNIVERSE.
KINGPIN (WILSON GRANT FISK)-6'8”: GLENN JACOBS-6'8”
I see BULLSEYE as the actual main adversary, that KINGPIN hires to take
FRANK out, along with a small army of KINGPIN-thugs.
FOX went and made FASSBENDER into MAGNETO but he will always be BULLSEYE,
in my eyes!
BULLSEYE (MICHAEL FASSBENDER):
