There was going to be a crazy director for The Punisher 2

It's no secret that Marvel's The Punisher took a while to find its footing in terms of live-action adaptations.

The first was The Punisher (1989), starring Dolph Lundgren, whose parallels to the original

[{"selector":"#anim-02b3ed87-07c5-4cd9-93cb-dd48dd7eea76","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.71171%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d208fce8-53ab-46f8-8bbd-3fca2b3a058d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f07e5eac-cd47-43b8-8b86-e200c482434b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9ec356af-49c9-47ba-85cd-36835c2349c8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-1.7802197745212673%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The most recent was Punisher: War Zone (2008), starring Ray Stevenson.

[{"selector":"#anim-63659036-46fc-446c-93cb-5a292d306779","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-112.61261%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-76f8c668-6757-4dc4-bed5-0a0f4bd8ee0e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-20a63fab-8262-4f20-9c97-eb1e7518d61c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-993ed064-2404-448a-ac2d-1e47d6148001 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-12.479096944602595%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Punisher, starring Thomas Jane as Marvel's most well-known murdering vigilante

[{"selector":"#anim-d28d9b58-75f9-494b-a958-1be583703214","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-112.91291%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78bf85d4-f819-452b-99f7-7beb9d795223","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b6b34963-e43b-4927-a13c-9e37af4a2ec7","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c936b1df-63a5-4ed5-b935-0399d71aa2d1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(11.099498287410348%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Even if the adaptation of Jane didn't exactly set box office records, the actor recently disclosed that not only was there

[{"selector":"#anim-40a0b9b0-b3db-4ba6-bb95-a7d3fbc31577","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-111.71171%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-88e90b5e-bad2-49b4-858f-6069ad060a81","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4f99bd1b-83df-4095-adf3-aad030c60f18","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

nearly a sequel, but Rob Zombie almost helmed The Punisher 2.

[{"selector":"#anim-0a10d6d9-6f3d-403d-bc73-50fefccb0aa2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-112.91291%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0750d645-5982-4934-bffc-8d79dcb74d04","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ef308560-137d-42ef-ba63-86ffbee0016b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2df9400c-63f6-4dd9-a157-ea84f12dd2d4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-12.479096944602595%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Thomas Jane recently discussed the shelved sequel at Fanboy Expo Knoxville, according to Comic Book.

There have been many Punisher 2 versions, Jane informed the audience.

[{"selector":"#anim-6741c071-a870-463f-bdb1-ecbf1369242e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-113.21321%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b48ae48c-e15f-47a1-b85a-84eb4fcfce0e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1e203c54-d4db-4142-bc38-a24ea6eb74ae","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

One of them had Rob Zombie in charge of the direction, which I thought would have been intriguing.
