" That character, specifically, has actual, genuine, real deep, deep definition for me and also vibration in me. He's actually in my heart, guy. He's actually in my bones. I'm significantly safety of that character. I have actually claimed before that there's absolutely nothing in this world more important to me than my better half and my youngsters, and just until you recognize that kind of love and also comprehend what it truly means to willingly die for someone, as well as what it would be like if somebody took them from you. That's a roadway and also a darkness as well as a rage that truly, truly terrifies me and also brings me to areas that I've worked the last twenty years to get away from. So I was really grateful, respectful and fatigued of the places where that role took me and the globe in which I had to reside in. That being claimed, that's where that character needs to be. It needs to be a level of darkness. I believe if there's any let up on that character, you do an injustice to the character, to every model of the personality, to every comic book that's come previously, and also to all of the astonishing fans of the character. This personality indicates a lot to people in the armed force. So like I stated before, it's not concerning whether you do the personality; it has to do with whether you can do it right, and I'm only curious about doing it right."

Incorporate that with the reality that The Punisher makes use of heavy guns, and also the conversation around gun laws is a continual one.
