CM Punk Wants to Portray Iconic Marvel Character in the MCU

CM Punk already dominates the wrestling ring, but he’s got his eyes set on something bigger—stepping into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as one of its most iconic vigilantes.

In a recent interview with Film Seal, Punk was asked which superhero he’d want to portray. Without hesitation, he revealed his top pick: The Punisher. The role is a perfect fit for Punk’s no-nonsense persona, and he explained why the character appeals to him so much.

“Who would I play? I’m a big Punisher guy. I think it’s, you know, it’s a black-and-white world when you’re the Punisher. That would be fun. Not that Jon Bernthal does a bad job.”

Punk also shared a story about writing comics for Marvel, noting that while he didn’t get to write about his favorite hero, the experience was still rewarding. Marvel approached him with a project centered on Thor—something he hadn’t expected.

“When I was writing comic books for Marvel, they were like, ‘Hey, you wanna write Thor?’ And I was like, Thor would not have been my first pick. But it was put on my plate, so it becomes a challenge. So it’s like, yeah, that’s it.”

With the Marvel multiverse wide open and wrestlers like John Cena and Dave Bautista already thriving in superhero franchises, CM Punk jumping in as Frank Castle doesn’t seem far-fetched at all. Especially with the Punisher already being a multiversal figure, Punk’s gritty edge could bring a fresh version to the table—if Marvel’s ever down to make it happen.
