In a fan film. Because he loves the character so much. Thomas Jane played vigilante Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, in a 2004 movie that wasn’t a huge success. Almost a decade later, he decided to team up with Ron Pearlman and director Phil Joanou to make a ten minute unlicensed fan film about the character. Needless to say, this has a bigger budget than most of the fan films I’ve seen, but it still wasn’t authorized by Marvel, so watch it before their lawyers take it down. It’s pretty damn great.
