Milo Ventimiglia Campaigning to play 'The Punisher'; Won't Return for 'Heroes: Reborn'

Milo Ventimiglia is no stranger to comic book tv series being a long time star on NBC's Heroes. Well yesterday Captain America: The Winter Soldier badass Frank Grillo (Crossbones) posted on Twitter how actors need to forget being rockstars and be in a Marvel movie cause the fans are so great in which Milo Ventimiglia replied:

Sound like a plan @FrankGrillo @WizardWorld. MV

He later went onto mention on his Twitter page that he wants to play none other than Frank Castle in a Punisher movie:

Now while its very unlikely that a Punisher movie will ever happen under the Disney banner his appearance in the upcoming Daredevil Netflix series is still very possible! So while Milo Ventimiglia is not my first pick for Frank Castle (Still think Thomas Jane should get another crack at the character) it's nice seeing an actor stoked to get a character made! It's still unknown if The Punisher will even make an appearance in the upcoming Netflix shows...


Last week long time Heroes star Jack Coleman was announced to be returning for the spin-off series Heroes: Reborn. When a fan asked Milo Ventimiglia if he would be returning to the series he replied that he would not be:  

Sadly no @mayersilencio, but I wish @JackColeman4RLZ and crew the best. I'll be watching. MV
