| Tom Hardy Wants To Be Punisher; Should Marvel Do It? |
|
Mad Max: Fury Road star Tom Hardy has already played a comic book character before, portraying the Batman supervillain Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, and he was set to play another in Rick Flag for Warner Brothers’ DC Comics villain movie Suicide Squad before having to exit due to delays on Alejandro González Iñárritu’s The Revenant (eventually replaced by Joel Kinnaman) but there’s another comic character that he’s interested in taking on. Talking to Collider recently Hardy shared that he would like to play Frank Castle, better known as the Punisher. The Marvel character has had three movies made based on him over the years—one in 1989 starring Dolph Lundgren as the vigilante antihero, another in 2004 starring Thomas Jane, and finally one in 2008 starring Ray Stevenson.
