And the new Punisher is...

[Brian Braddock]

I can so see him as Frank now.

Not the almost 'sympathetic' Frank still dealing with his loss and finding his feet in the 1st film - but a total uncompromisibng, battle scarred vengefull hardass.

 

[tamron]

I definitely see the resemblance.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Is this going to take place like 10 years later in the Punishers life compared to the first film??? It seems that way.

 

[Punisher RULES]

The more I see of Ray the more I can picture him as Frank.

yuppp same here

 

[Weadazoid]

Looks kinda like Vinne Jones to me

yeah I see that too......but more like Ole Bullet Tooth Toney then any other role Jones was in...in other words the very young Jones not todays Jones



This guy plays up bigger then Jones as well

Y'know - not having seen Rome - I was only going off pics from film premieres etc. and I was worried that Stevenson didnt have a 'hard egde' to him.

Now that I've seen the above pic; It's eradicated my earlier fears - it's proven to me that he has the capability to look absolutley hard as nails badass, which I'm sure everyone will agree, is essential for the Punisher.

He's a badass in Rome. Seriously, if you look it up on youtube, and see some of the scenes with Ray, he's perfect. He's done so many kills in the show, it's not even funny.

I've been watching the Rome series past couple weeks. Im on season 2 which I think where they stoped? Ray is about the best character in the series,except the mark anthony character. Ray did a good job with his character,and I like the character as well. Hes does what he has to to get the job done. I actually feel for his character. The only real other characters I like on that show is Mark Anthony,and the octavious mother..
Ray is big fellow,not such in a build way,hes like what 6'4 or so..Hes a big dude,just needs to add a little muscle tone.

I definitely want it to take place a few years later.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Here's some pics of Ray Steve from his movie Outpost.

I'm assuming that last one is him, but I'm not 100% sure. Still, remove the helmet, add a skull and that's one imposing dude.

 

[Sebastos]

Nice pics, I really see Castle in this guy.

 

[Advanced Dark]

That last pic almost looks like the first pic of Jane w/blonde hair as Castle. Weird. The background and the pose.

 

[Gianakin_]

Beautiful pic, that last one. I'm very optimistic about him.

 

[Brendan]

Holy ****! That looks like a Bradstreet cover right there!

 

[Advanced Dark]

Could someone lighten that up a bit so we can see his face just for kicks.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

 

[OddBob]

Never heard of the guy until I saw the announcement, and I've only seen his acting in short clips on YouTube, but he does seem like a promising choice.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

i'm starting to like this guy more and more.

 

[FireandIce213]

Man i hope thats really him!

 

[Advanced Dark]

That is awesome. I just wish he didn't have that helmet or hat on. It'd be perfect then.

 

[SWAT]

There's got to be someone with some photoshop skills on this board who can fix it.

Could someone put that head on the other pic with him in the trenchcoat and that helmet.

Also that looks like a drawing with his head cropped onto it.

 

[Cyrusbales]

I'll reserve judgement for when I see the film.
