The Punisher is Cast in "Thor"

Misleading headline... Stuart Townsend.. lucky bloke (look him up to see why)

Misleading ahoy indeed!

Looking at the picture I have decided to recast.

Blonde confused gender on the left: Geena Davis
Big ginger fatty: Carrot top on extra steroids
Right sinister fella: Saddam Hussein

CGI costs for Saddam required.

lol good cast

I'll say...

lower left: Cary Elwes on steroids
lower right: just lift the cgi "han" from Mulan
Upper Center: any fatass

So Dolph isn't reprising his role as The Punisher in Thor? Fuck..

I want to have a crack at casting choices for this picture too!

Blondie: Robin Williams
Ginger: the midget from Lord Of The Rings with appropriate camera angles of course.
Horny on the right: Jackie Chan, if he's not available Charlie Sheen

ray stevenson? i haven't seen him in anything other than punisher war zone but i felt it wasnt a convincing performance. i trust branagh knows what hes doin.

Most misleading headline I've read all year, you should be ashamed. I had my hopes up for the actual character, but instead it just list's the casting of Ray Stevenson. No offense against Ray, he was great in Rome, but WE WANT THE PUNISHER!

VERY miselading. I assumed there'd be another cute little marvel crossover cameo.. : /

it aint that misleading.we all know lionsgate owns the rights for filming the punisher,not marvel.and what the fuck would the punisher be doing in a thor movie anyways?

Why??? They're both marvel, and the two characters interacting would please many. So, when the headline is first read, expectations are raised until getting to the body of the article.

This isn't misleading at all.

It follows the great tradition of other accurate headlines such as:

- Batman Is Cast In Terminator Salvation.
- Spiderman Is Cast In Seabiscuit.
- Superman Is Cast In Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

Other great headlines also include:
Efron says lohan gave him aids
Nic cage blew his cash on blow and gay hookers
or even this movie is gonna suck

My favorite was:

"Nicolas Cage Eats Live Puppies to Save His Houses From Foreclosure"

...til they changed it.

uh oh, if Ray Stevenson gets cast in another comic book movie, WP's gonna post an article saying that he's playing too many characters like Ryan Reynolds

@ jeffw1978: Good thing you're setting the facts straight, you're the true reporter!

@ eViL.kEv2: "Nicolas Cage Eats Live Puppies to Save His Houses From Foreclosure" lool

I guess that's what happens when they can't tell the difference between "live puppy" and "hot dog"!

wow, i haven't clicked a link that fast in my life, only to be so disappointed. thanks alot.

How about leaving the comic relief out of the movie? Worked for the new Batman films. Don't we get enough campy humor from the Spidey and Iron Man movies?

"Asgardian warrior woman" -- sounds like a prude.

didn't they mean ass-guardian?

WOW!!! This is very exciting news. The fact that the supporting cast is so strong makes me believe that Kenneth Branagh has faith in Chris Hemswrorth. Thus, I have faith in him.

Please watch Tadanobu Asano in Ichi the Killer (craziest character I've ever seen on film), Zatoichi, Last Life in the Universe and Mongol.

Given the director and cast, I feel that Thor will be the most dramatic Marvel movie ever. That isn't necessarily a bad thing.

When I saw the headline I was trying to figure out if they were talking about Dolph, Ray Stevenson or Thomas Jane, but I knew there was no way the Punisher would show up as a character in a Thor movie. Truthfully I don't know of those characters ever having any interactionin teh comics, except in possibly one of those huge crossover events.
