News Control: Tom Hardy as the Punisher
In the past day or two you may have seen something crossing your facebook page or news feed about Tom Hardy looking at playing The Punisher in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This obviously would cause quite a buzz. The Punisher has been made into a movie three times and three times it has failed to start a Punisher franchise. It would be very exciting for Marvel to look into kickstarting one of their grittier characters and Tom Hardy would be a great casting choice, especially since he's about to star in a big summer blockbuster with Mad Max.
But here's the thing. As of right now, Tom Hardy is not up for the role of The Punisher. In fact, Marvel isn't even currently working on a Punisher Franchise. (not one that's been announced at least) all of those stories are stemming from one statement that Tom Hardy made while promoting Mad Max. When the interviewer asked Hardy if there was any comic book character he would like to play Hardy mentioned that he would like to be The Punisher.
Thats it.
Marvel hasn't said anything about Hardy or The Punisher at all. There has been no indication that Marvel is even thinking about the character. Just that Hardy mentioned in one interview that he would like to play him. And a little later on in the interveiw, Hardy mentioned that he really couldn't play Frank Castle anyway because he was too short. (which is not really a good reason, but that's beside the point)
I understand that if you want to play a character that's owned by a company like Marvel it's good to get that information out there. And if you as a fan are interested in seeing Tom Hardy play The Punisher, it's good to try and let Marvel know that this is the type of movie or show that you would happily give money for.
But for now, there's no real story here. Just a guy who wants to play a character because it would be cool.
