Ray Stevenson Wants To Play Frank Castle Again As Marvel Studios Regains Punisher Rights

Some might believe Thomas Jane was an excellent Frank Castle but others have been on the side of Rome's Ray Stevenson. ThePlaylist was able to interview Ray during promotion for his new film Kill The Irishman. He reveals that we could see him in future Thor sequels as he's signed on for three films which is a regular part of a Marvel contract. They went on to see if there is a possibility that Stevenson could reprise his Punisher role in a new film.

"We have talked a bit. We have met about it. I would love to do it. We can definitely bring back Frank to the screen.” He warned that such negotiations may be premature, considering the shifting rights of the character. “I think they’ve just got the property back, it was with Lionsgate.” 

While there was glaring problems with War Zone that being the cartoony feel of Jigsaw and not grounding the film better. It gave us the best take on Frank Castle and some serious shoot-em-up action. I assume that now Marvel Studios owns the rights they could end up re-branding a new line R-rated films.
