— CM Punk says that if he ever got the chance to play a superhero on screen, his choice would be The Punisher. During a fan Q&A with GQ, Punk was asked which character he’d like to portray in a superhero film. After cracking a few jokes, he revealed that the vigilante antihero would be his ideal role. He said,
“I’m CM F**king Punk, it doesn’t get any more super than that. The Thing wants to be CM Punk. Frank Castle wants to be CM Punk. No, not really. I want to be Frank Castle, The Punisher.‘”
Jon Bernthal is currently ensconced in the role and is reportedly playing him in Spider-Man: Brand New Day as well as Daredevil: Born Again season two.
