New Punisher Movie Swaps Lead Actors
Punisher is arguably my favorite comic book character. This dude's nothing but balls. No magical powers. No super-human capabilities. Just pure, unadulterated, VIOLENCE!
So as you can imagine I was totally stoked when I got a shout my boy iamronburgundy that there was a trailer out for the new Punisher movie and oh boy it looks sweet!
But WTF happened to Tom Jane, the guy who played the Punisher in the previous Punisher movie? They've got this Ray Stephenson guy now (from HBO's Rome). I'll have to admit that he does have the Punisher voice down pretty well, but why must Marvel always swap out actors for it's sequels? When Edward Norton replaced Eric Bana for this years The Incredible Hulk I kept my cool since Ed is my homeboy (I have a Fight Club movie poster up next to my Punisher movie poster) but this Stephenson guy seems like a step down, not a step up.
Enough of my bitching. I'm sure we'll all enjoy the movie. Here's the trailer from IGN:

Dolph Lundgren played the Punisher in the first movie (1989). The second movie, also titled "The Punisher", was played by Thomas Jane. Jane didn't capture Frank Castle for me at all. I have much higher hopes for the new installment.
Ahh yes, who can forget Lundgren's performance in the very first Punisher movie. That was definately the best. I guess Lundgren might have been a little old to play Frank Castle (he's ten-years the senior of Thomas Jane) in the *second* movie.
Thanks Yokohama. I'll be sure and update the post.
