Who wants Barracuda in The Punisher 2?

[Savage]

This character seems to be gaining quite some popularity and is probably going to be added to The Punisher's very limited rogues gallery. So how about seeing him as hired help in the sequel?

I know The Punisher's already fought a big muscular wrestler in the last movie but how about ECW's The Alpha Male Marcus Cor Von (formerly TNA's Monty Brown) for Barracuda? I honestly think he would be perfect for the role and would serve as a sharp contrast to the quietness that was The Russian.

annoying promo but pretty much in character

In another thread I suggested the guy who played Deebo in Friday.

 

[Savage]

Tommy 'Tiny' Lister. Another very good choice.

A bit old for my taste but I definately think he would fit.

I like Monty Brown though because he pretty much is the character without the gratuitous swearing (only so much you can allow in wrestling, which is pretty ironic).

 

[FireandIce213]

The guy u suggested is a great choice appearance wise, but i dont watch a lot of wrestling so i dont know much about his character, also someone suggested Terry Crews which i think would be aiight too...Except I just couldnt take him seriously after White Chicks LOL!So all and all Yea Barracuda is a character that i find interesting and it would be great to see him going toe to toe with Frank in the film like how he did in the comics. I hope they can put him in while at the same time keeping the tone darker and grittier like Tom Jane said it would be.

 

[Savage]

Yeah, Terry Crews was the first person I thought of too till I remembered White Chicks. The guy is known for comedy and in those comedies he plays serious characters. I don't think I'd be able to take him seriously even in a serious movie, which is the problem.

And yeah, there just has to be someone that's able to go toe to toe with Frank. Maybe have a rivalry throughout the movie. Two battles. One where he gets his ass handed to him and narrowly escapes and one where he beats him by almost sheer luck. Kind of softening him up for Jigsaw. Seems like something Jigsaw would do too. Soften him up first. This way we actually get a final battle instead of what was basicly a massacre in the first movie.

I was thinking Pittsy at first but I will always associate him with Nicky Cavella's crew...Who if this movie is super lucky enough to have a second sequel I'd love to see as the villain.

 

[Kable24]

Jigsaw and Barracuda in the same movie????????????? I don't know if my heart could take it.

 

[FireandIce213]

yea i just watched that monty brown clip, and i realized that browns voice is how i wouldve imagined Barracuda's voice to sound like. Good choice Savage

 

[SWAT]

I don't like Barracuda...

 

[Savage]

...Well...just curious, but why?

 

[dude stannis]

Ving Rhames all the way:

 

[Savage]

Ving Rhames. I like that. He always came off to me as more of the head behind an operation though and not a lacky.

 

[PETER PARKER 23]

Barracuda would be an excellent villain for Punisher 2,he's obviously similar in size and strength to the Russian in the first movie and may well work for this one too.

 

[Brendan]

You people are ******ed. Barracuda should NEVER be adapted onto film, EVER.

Wow, talk about ego...thats your opinion buddy other people have their own as well. Get out of your mother's basement and go make some friends.

 

[Brendan]

Its too cold down in that basement, not very clean either. I rather keep my room upstairs if that's okay with you.

Barracuda is waaaayy too two-demensional to be in a movie. I thought they wanted to take the sequel in a more serious direction? Going with Barracuda would be the exact opposite. Besides, theres not enough room to have him in the film with Jigsaw already being the villian.

 

[Savage]

...Hence why Barracuda is the lacky...That's like saying the last movie had no room for The Russian and Harry Heck because they already had Howard Saint...You...didn't read any of the posts in this thread, did you?

 

[The Punisher]

I would want to see Barracuda for sure. How about Micheal Clarke Duncan?

 

[Savage]

...Nnnaaaah. I don't see him playing the character so well. It's just not him. And even moreso I don't see him playing a lacky at this point in his career. He's just too...good for Barracuda. Especially after seeing him play a more civilized criminal like Kingpin.

 

[The Punisher]

Good point. Right now, I can't think of anyone for Barracuda, but I for sure want to see him show up in the sequel.

 

[mist@doom]

couldn't they keep him in store for punisher 3!........(i want the franchise,to become a trilogy! t: )

 

[Savage]

I'd love for there to be a third movie but I'm not holding my breath. Right now I'm just thinking of Barracuda as hired help. The right hand man. Maybe he spent time in prison with Jigsaw instead of Harry whatever (the business guy in the Baracuda arc).

You just named three reasons why the first Punisher movie was not as serious of a Punisher movie as it could have been. The Punisher 2 is supposed to make up for all the mistakes in the first movie, having another comical character like Russian or Barracuda would be doing the exact oppoiste.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

Oh hell yes, I'd love to see that f**ker on-screen. t:

Then don't make them comical. I admit the scene with the Russian was comical but the guy didn't even say anything. He's not responsible for Spacker Dave playing classical music and dancing like an idiot.

 

[Brendan]

I was making a point about how the villians were no good, Spacker Dave ain't a villian.

The Punisher should be seen offing guys who are real scum who truely deserve it and Barracuda is a looney toon.
