To be fair, they've been fairly consistent. DOFP pretty much worked to reverse the damage that Brett Ratner did with The Last Stand
Kurt Russell is confirmed for GOTG Vol. 2
Also, Mantis will join the team, played by Pom Klementieff.

I wonder if Russell will play Peter Quills father?
Or Adam warlock.
Or even both...
Hopefully Marvel are well on their way to fixing that with Punisher in the new Daredevil season.
Seeing how well the r rating and level of violence worked for deadpool it shows just how much they missed the mark with the rubbish punisher movies
Do any of you listen to various podcasts on comic book hereos and movies and such.
Ive started listening to a few the past 4-5 months and there quite entertaining and pass the time when your doing mundane things.
A few of my favourites
https://www.youtube.com/user/KevinSmith37/videos - Featuring kevin Smith and Marc bernadin, broadcasts usually 3 times a week. Evolved from Fatman on Batman podcasts which are still accecsible are are a must listen for any batman or comic book enthusiast.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCndoVSG1AYiAmqa25EhlCVA - Superhero news, not to long pops up roughly every week and pretty informative. hector Navarro in particular is a gold mine.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=comics+explained - Comicsexplained, once and week and a very knowledgable discussion. Also the videos on superhero lore done by Rob are amazing, save Frederick from reading Wiki all the time ;-)
https://www.youtube.com/user/mrsundaymovies - Australias own and one of the best and most entertaining podcasts and channels out there
I listen to/watch on YouTube "Collider". They have a daily movie news show and also a weekly Heroes and Star Wars show. Really like it and I am addicted.
Unfortunately I don't think the Punisher could carry the appeal for a good movie. It's never attracted any decent star power nor do the studios seem to want to throw any decent $ into the movie
Deadpool worked due to Reynolds and co pushing hard and the great mix of humour and action. It had a very broad appeal and super good marketing
I think Netflix is the perfect vehicle for the type of character like the Punisher. 10 Ep tv series lets them build depth on a smaller budget.
