Wizard World Los Angeles got underway today at the Long Beach Convention Center. In attendance was none other than the Punisher himself, Thomas Jane.
After he made a stop at the Golden Apple booth I had the chance to ask a few questions regarding the future of Frank Castle.

Thomas Jane told the IESB that the Punisher sequel script is currently being worked on and they expect production to start in two months. Location wise it looks like Tampa is out and New York is in.

. You know, personally as im sure everyone knows. I thought the punisher was an unforgivable failure. Not because the adaptation of characters. I thought the extension of emotion was a nice touch, but was presented in a dull slow presentation. The story however, could be confused with any other vigalante or revenge flick out there. The thing that set the Punisher apart from other vigalante stories, is that they were complex and ruthless. I liked Castle's character in the film, yeah he could have been bigger 😂 but was on a whole a nice portrayel. Granted he was a bit tame, but the Punishers character has to be changed some what for film.
The actions that make the punisher the punisher were missing. Some of his techniques were there, but not as relentless as they should have been. I believe there was one interrogation that included the Punishers techniques through out the entire film.
So maybe if they focus on an actuall story from the archives, face can be saved and thirst for punishment can be had.
Punisher is the most realistic comic book hero. Unlike someone who supposedly masters a 127 different fighting styles in a few years where it takes normal people all their lives to master one or two, and can take out anyone in the DC/Marvel universes say fanboys if he has enough prep time cough "Batman"... The Punisher kicks A$$, and he does it with realistic, tactical military equipment, not some sub atomic batarang bomb that can take out most of the JLA with one shot. Then again everyone has their own opinion, and opinions vary.
Now getting back to the subject, I think Howard Saint will be back as Jigsaw, and sends a whole lot of Yakuza after his A$$. Possibly crossover battles with Wilson Fisk? Bullseye? That would be interesting, but is just a guess, and I can't wait to see who he's gonna go up against.
Punisher getting killed. That would rule, because Punisher is the most one dimensional character Marvel has ever created.
Being one dimensional is what makes him fun. After awhile, I'm tired of hearing about Peter Parker's personal life problems, or Tony Stark boozing again, or Steve Rogers crying over Bucky's grave. I just want a stone cold vigilante killer who does over the top shit, in over the top stories, and kills a whole lot of people in sadistically amusing ways.
For stories, I think the Kitchen Irish storyline that was done a little while back in his title would be pretty sweet or Streets of Laredo.
Well I do disagree with some of your views on The Punisher, but to each his own. I understand some of your arguements about the film though, and alot of the key material was either not filmed because of budget constraints or was just cut from the film. Even after all of that though the film was definitely better than I first suspected it would be and I am confident that the next film will improve in most areas and give us the ultimate Marvel experience.
