Former The Punisher Actor Addresses Whether a Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo Was Considered

As a gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in the Marvel universe, let me tell you, the latest blockbuster, Deadpool & Wolverine, was nothing short of epic! With a whopping $1 billion at the box office, it’s safe to say that this movie has rekindled the fire in many a Marvel fan’s heart.


“The Deadpool and Wolverine movie has undoubtedly been one of the most successful films this year, earning over $1 billion globally and generating significant excitement for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Apart from chronicling more of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool/Wade Wilson’s chaotic adventures, the film incorporated characters from various earlier Marvel productions – however, it appears one potential cast member was not contacted. In a recent interview with The Direct, Thomas Jane, who played Frank Castle / The Punisher in 2004’s The Punisher, revealed he did not receive an offer to make a cameo appearance in the Deadpool and Wolverine film.”

Jane confessed that she doesn’t agree, explaining, “I’m a fan of Jon Bernthal as The Punisher. For me, casting an Italian-American in the role was more fitting, since Frank Castle is portrayed as such. As an Irish-American myself, I had to adapt by changing my hair and adopting a new character. However, Bernthal carries the role convincingly, so I believe they should continue with him.”

Who Cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine?

Notably, among various Marvel appearances by Deadpool and Wolverine, the most memorable ones include Wesley Snipes portraying Blade, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Dafne Keen as X-23, and Channing Tatum in his role as Gambit from the unrealized Gambit solo film. As director Shawn Levy disclosed shortly after its release, these cameos were primarily selected to complement the rich history of the broader Marvel universe.

On the set, there was a festive atmosphere. To incorporate the theme of ‘legacy,’ we began brainstorming characters who didn’t quite reach their conclusion. As Levy shared, “We unveiled characters that were never fully resolved, such as X-23, Blade, Gambit, and Electra.” The excitement and gratitude among everyone was palpable when all these characters came together.
