Attention Comic Book Geeks: The First Pic Of Thomas Jane as THE PUNISHER!!!

Her it is folks, your first glimpse at actor Thomas Jane in the role of vigilante Frank Castle, AKA THE PUNISHER



Well, it already looks better than the Dolph Lundgren version!

I wait till i see the teaser... This is a stylised promo pic so I won't say anything until I see the whole thing in motion... I thought the Skull thing could have been urned into some kind of brest plate/bullet proof-device...

He doesn't strike me as a vigilante Punisher type. Kind of makes me wonder. Are there some comic book characters that just SHOULDN"T be made into movies? hmmm

OK... I just have to say that I'd eat Thomas Jane with a spoon, but I think this is another case of a poor casting. I wish Marvel would consult me about these things.

He looks straight up like the highlander, shirt looks contrived, and he needs to hit the gym to pull off The Punisher. Other than that he's perfect for the role. wink

I agree with the above.
Dolph couldn't act his way out of a paper bag...but at least he had the muscles to play THE PUNISHER.

BTW - what's up with the BROWN hair???

He looks corny. I wouldn't be afraid of his ass. If he came at me with that get up I would laugh myself too death before he could reach for his gun.

Well, I'm not too impressed either, but like I said, it has to be better than Dolph. Still, this is just an early publicity photo, so I'll reserve judgement until I've seen a little more.

He does look a hell of a lot like Christopher Lambert, though. Maybe after he kills all the punks he'll say "there can be only one".
