Thomas Jane originally played Frank Castle in 2004’s ‘The Punisher.’ The Direct recently asked the actor if there were any plans for him to make a cameo as the character in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ like Wesley Snipes (Blade), Jennifer Garner (Elektra), and Dafne Keen (X-23).
“I like [Jon] Bernthal’s Punisher,” Jane said after sharing that no one reached out to him about a comeback. “I think, you know, for me, it was always a little bit of a stretch. Frank Castle is supposed to be an Italian American. I’m not. I’m an Irish American. So, for me, I had to dye the hair and sort of take on a persona, but Bernthal wears it so well, so I think they should stick with him.”
The Punisher didn’t make an appearance in the ‘Deadpool’ sequel but got a mention as part of the Resistance. Meanwhile, Jon Bernthal’s version of the antihero returned in ‘Daredevil: Born Again.’
Leaked footage from the set revealed Frank Castle shooting White Tiger in February. Kamar de los Reyes wore the costume for the new MCU hero.
The cast also listed Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, and Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page. According to images from D23, Marvel’s Muse joined them as a new villain.
‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is set to begin airing on Disney+ in March 2025.
