The Hollywood Reporter has new casting news about the coming Punisher movie, and our very own
Mystique may be one of two sexy additions to the cast...
"Mulholland Drive" star Laura Harring is set and "X2: X-Men United" star Rebecca Romijn-Stamos is in negotiations to join the cast of Artisan Entertainment/Marvel Studios' "The Punisher" for director Jonathan Hensleigh. A July start date is planned in Florida, with Thomas Jane in the title role. "Punisher" is based on Marvel Comics' vigilante hero who dispenses harsh justice to criminals after his wife and children are slain by the mob. Harring will play the ruthless, vengeful wife of the film's evil Howard Saint (John Travolta). Saint is a man involved in the criminal underworld who manages to conceal his violent beginnings and become a paragon of society. When the Saints' son is brutally slain, a darker, vengeful side re-emerges in the man.
And as for Mystique's Role in The Punisher... IGN Filmforce wrote in to Superhero Hype with with more info about her casting...
"While The Hollywood Reporter didn't specify which role Rebecca Romijn-Stamos landed, IGN FilmForce has learned from its infallible Punisher source that Romijn-Stamos will portray "Joan" from Garth Ennis' "Welcome Back, Frank" storyline. Hill City Comics describes Joan as "a mousy recluse with a thing for Frank (Castle, the Punisher)." That's quite a far cry from Romijn-Stamos' vampish turn as Mystique."
And of course, we can't mention the name of beautiful Rebecca Romjin-Stamos without putting up a sexy picture of her too!!!! Enjoy!
