Tom Hardy Would Like to Play The Punisher

Collider:
Marvel is all about its cinematic universe these days and trying to create box office juggernauts, but the studio also had a cult classic with Punisher: War Zone. The first Punisher is awful (because let’s put a guy who wears a long, black trench coat in Tampa), but War Zone is delightfully insane, and judging by Mad Max: Fury Road, Tom Hardy seems attracted to that kind of material.

Steve recently spoke with Hardy, and touched on superhero movies with the actor. Hardy was set to star in the supervillain team-up film Suicide Squad, but had to drop out (read more about that here). Nevertheless, he still wants to do a comic book movie, and at the top of his list is The Punisher:

I think he would be an excellent choice for the Punisher.

That'd be pretty cool. We need a good Punisher movie too.

Can't see it at all

Plenty of better actors out there right for the role

Who would you like to see the role go too?

Better actors than Tom Hardy? Like who?

Watch Bronson and instantly be convinced he's just as good an actor as anyone in Hollywood at the moment..

-Foxtrot3266d ago (Edited 3266d ago )

I'm not saying he's a bad actor. I'm saying there are better actors out there who are better for the role. Just because you are a good actor doesn't mean you can automatically play any role.

Milo Ventimiglia
Karl Urban
Timothy Olyphant
Joe Manganiello
Anson Mount

My pick though would be Jim Caviezel

A good actor could play any role...especially something as easy as Punisher. A good actor like Tom Hardy would be able to bring more depth and emotion to a bland character like the Punisher.

And I really disagree with that list. You listed a bunch of bare chested pretty boys that besides Karl Urban aren't really known for their acting skills.

Jim Caviezal...pretty boy...LOL

All of them have the lookk to pull off Frank and have the bad ass role.

Tom Hardy just doesn't look like Frank or remind me of him.

Oh and no a good actor can't. Did George Clooney play a good part in Batman and Robin...no...no he didn't. Robert De Niro in the Fan, Will Smith in Wild West, Heath Ledger in the Brothers Grimm or Josh Brolin in Jonah Hex. You get my point. Good actors can't play every role well.

gangsta_red3266d ago

I cannot see Jim Caviezal as Punisher, no way. I don't know what look Punisher is suppose to have that Tom Hardy couldn't pull off himself.

"Did George Clooney play a good part in Batman and Robin...."

There's a difference between good actors and bad movies.

Those movies you mentioned, script, direction and plot just plain sucked bad. it doesn't mean the actors were bad. Good actors can be in bad movies, doesn't mean they couldn't play the role.
