Thomas Jane wants Jon Bernthal to Return as The Punisher

 He even wants to direct the project.

First of all, we should make things clear that Netflix now holds no legal right over those characters. The time bondage which obligated Marvel Studios not to use “The Defenders” characters and Jon Bernthal’s iteration of Punisher is now up. Punisher is free to be used by Marvel Cinematic Universe along with others.

Now, the star of the 2004 Punisher film has recently made a statement that he would love to bring Jon Bernthal’s version on screen again, and he would be over the moon if Marvel selects to helm the Punisher project starring Jon Bernthal in the starring role of Frank Castle.



For now, Kevin Feige and the company have not made their thoughts clear regarding the Netflix version of the character, and despite certain rumors that allude to the fact that Charlie Cox is all set to re-portray his character of Matt Murdock, we cannot get ahead of ourselves.

Meanwhile, Thomas Jane has offered to revive Punisher. Jane had portrayed the character in a rather disappointing 2004 film. However, he has some interesting ideas regarding the character.

He has made it clear that he wants only Jon Bernthal in the project and nobody else. And he would make the project solely centered on Frank Castle.

You should not underestimate Jane based on his performance in the 2004 film. He has at least three decades of motion acting experience apart from steering the wheel for some projects as well. One of his premier directorial ventures is the 2009 film “Dark Country.” Just recently, he has ably steered the wheel for an episode of “Expanse.”

He was asked in an interview whether he would be interested in acting in a Punisher project. Jane had a professional answer to that.

He conceded that it is difficult for a film to really understand the dynamics of what the character “The Punisher” really is. He also admitted that he extremely adored what Jon Bernthal, Ben Barnes, and Amber Rose Revah had achieved with the Netflix series. He reiterated what has been said by fans over the years, Jon Bernthal nailed the role of Punisher, and he added that he would love to steer the wheel for a Punisher project starring him because he has done a tremendous job in the Netflix series.

Jon Bernthal really is a tremendous actor, and he has proved it time and time again. His role of “Shane Walsh” in the fan-favorite “Walking Dead” series is also well-known.

The Punisher was canceled in February of 2019 after a series of cancellations of other projects such as Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist.

Though Iron Fist and Luke Cage have a separate fanbase, what fans terribly miss are the series, which had a nail-biting tension, style, and action accentuated by extraordinary suspense. Yes, I am talking about Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and The Punisher.



Eminem had also tweeted and expressed his disappointment after the cancellation of The Punisher. However, more than that, the cancellation of Daredevil had disappointed most of the fans, which even led to the initiation of a movement called the “Save Daredevil” campaign, which has earned massive support over the years.

Now, when all the legal obligations are non-existent, fans desperately want Jon Bernthal and the company to make an appearance on Disney+ (Marvel’s new home). It is unclear whether Marvel is paying attention to the campaign, but some reports have suggested that they are indeed considering the possibility of including Charlie Cox in Spider-Man 3.
