Showrunner: Adam Wingard
Star: Dan Stevens
Why? If you've seen
You're Next or
The Guest, then this should be a no brainer. Adam is an excellent writer, who really does a good job of blending horror elements with the pacing of a thriller. The results are explosive, terrifying, and encapculating to watch. Dan might be a bit young to play Frank Castle, but that said, Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) tends to skew more towards younger actors for their roles. Dan is also a very intense person, and can turn on a dime.
Showrunner: Pete Travis
Star: Karl Urban
Why? Dredd was a great film, and Karl Urban made for a great Judge Dredd. That said, I don't see a sequel happening anytime soon, and these two could partner together for an excellent take on The Punisher. Especially with how violent and action-packed
Dredd was, it would translate well to The Punisher.
Showrunner: Graham Yost
Star: Timothy Olyphant
Why? Graham is known for a few well known action movies (
Speed, The Last Castle) but he's also well known for collaborating on
Justified with Timothy Olyphant. I think the blend of action and humor could make a great mix for Punisher.
