Adi Shankar, the director behind the unofficial Punisher film Dirty Laundry starring Thomas Jane, has discussed wanting to cast Gina Carano in a sequel as ‘Lady Punisher’.
The first Dirty Laundry starred Thomas Jane as Frank Castle, reprising his role from 2004’s The Punisher feature-length film, and saw Castle take down a group of thugs who were beating up a young teenager.
So a sequel to Dirty Laundry starring a female protagonist could work quite well.
Whether Marvel will let Shankar make the sequel, now that The Punisher has become a key part of their Netflix Universe, is another matter entirely.
