Marvel fans usually love when studios take risks and think outside the box with their staff, especially when it comes to directors. Taika Waititi and James Gunn weren’t natural choices when it came to grabbing bigger budget superhero movies, but they brought their unique voices and approach to Guardians of the Galaxy And the Motorcycle rentalAnd now these movies are out there The best Marvel movies of all time. These risks don’t always work (more on those in a single moment), and we sometimes hear of situations where a radical left-field selection has occurred nearly as often, resulting in a “what if?” For the Marvel Universe.
This one includes the movie series the punisher, which starred Thomas Jane as ranger Frank Castle in 2004. This was an early stab (no pun intended) to bring Marvel’s ultra-violent character to the big screen, and was in no way part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She never had a sequel, but while appearing at the Fanboy Show in Tennessee (via Character Book), Jen mentioned that Rob Zombie was a name in the mix to lead Punisher 2And let me… what?
There have been several iterations of Punisher 2. One of them was directed by Rob Zombie, which I thought would be fun. But that was one iteration. We were fighting script ideas and trying to find a new director. The Marvel folks wanted to go with a different director, and that was their choice, so it was like, “Who is that person going to be?”
One of the criticisms leveled at Thomas Jane the punisher, directed by Jonathan Hensley, that he pulled the punches in terms of the amount of violence needed to be a true Punisher movie. Frank Castle is a man who wages war on criminals after his innocent family is caught in the crossfire of rival gang members. The Punisher forgives no one, leaving corpses in its wake.
Use Rob Zombie to beat Punisher 2 It would have given the sequel the edge that was missing from the Hensleigh movie. see how Reimagining zombies Halloween When he took over the classic franchise of John Carpenter, or The spin he put on the monster. They don’t look like what we were expecting, and I know his interpretation of The Punisher would have been extreme. You know we’re going to get a killer montage on Dragula, and that’s badass.
Instead of Rob Zombie, the character of Punisher has landed in the hands of Lexi Alexander, who has ramped up violence for the more convenient Punisher: War Zone but still makes a movie that even the director hates. The character then received some stability when fan favorite Jon Bernthal wore Frank Castle’s body armor in several appearances on Netflix. But then, that was also cancelled.
Marvel Netflix heroes are making their way to the MCU, where Daredevil is about to appear in the She-Hulk series, and Kingpin is being added to Echo. Despite rumors circulating about Rosario Dawson, The Punisher isn’t ready to appear on the new Disney+ show. But if and when… might Rob Zombie be in the mix again?
