Thomas Jane has said many times that he "will always return to play this character" as long as the film is "Dark, Realistic and Gritty."
Frank wears a New York Yankees baseball cap despite saying in the 2004 film that he'd get "upset when the Yankees won the Series."
In an interview with Inverse, Adi Shankar revealed that he was previously in pre-production on a sequel to Dirty Laundry, stating that the film was "going to be a two-hander that introduced the 'Lady Punisher', who was going to be played by MMA fighter and Deadpool (2016) actor Gina Carano. Thomas Jane was due to reprise his role in the sequel, and the script was written by Wayne Kramer. Shankar stated in the interview (regarding the film) that: "it may still be revisited and revived at some point down the road, and that it shouldn't be ruled out just yet."
This marks the third time Thomas Jane had portrayed the Punisher, once for the 2004 film, and providing the voice in the 2005 video game.
