Dolph Lundgren, Star Of The Original ‘Punisher,’ Hasn’t Seen The Recent Remakes

No matter how many times Marvel’s Punisher films start over from scratch, Dolph Lundgren will always be the first-live action Frank Castle.

The iconic action star wrote, directed and headlined in his latest direct-to-DVD film “Command Performance” and returns to the big screen in 2010 for Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables.” As far as upcoming comic book films go, however, “Conan” is the only one that has his attention right now, and he said he hasn’t been keeping up with the skull-shirted vigilante he first portrayed in 1989.

“No, I haven’t seen any of [the new 'Punisher' movies],” Lundgren told MTV News. The Swedish-born actor has kept a tight schedule since he began directing his own movies like “The Mechanik” and “Diamond Dogs,” so it’s understandable that he might not be able to find the time.
