"Punisher is something that I turned down twice," actor Thomas Jane recently told the fan press. "But [Marvel Studios exec] Avi [Arad] kept after me. 'Just read this new script,' he'd say. 'just read this re-write.' I never saw myself as a super hero. Other folks, maybe, but not my bag. Then Avi pointed out this guy wasn't a super hero, he was an anti-hero. A black sheep. He didn't have any super powers, he killed people. It got my attention, and we started working on the part."

Jane reveals some things about himself to the always welcoming Mark Millar. Click the link below for the full interview.
