8 Marvel Actors Who Were Cast In The Wrong Parts

1. Frank Grillo

Grillo is a great character actor who€™s been plugging away in supporting roles for years, but has finally started making a name for himself. He became an instant cult favourite thanks to his role in The Purge: Anarchy, and he'€™s currently playing Brock Rumlow (aka Crossbones) in the Captain America movies.

Crossbones is a good part for him, because if there€™s any man who€™s a credible threat to the all mighty Cap it would be Grillo, but he deserves even more of a push. There€™s one character in the MCU he was practically sculpted to play, however, and it€™'s definitely not Crossbones.

Who He Should Have Played Instead: The Punisher.

Come on, take a look at Grillo; jet black hair, muscly physique and a face that€™s clearly lived life. He'€™s Frank Castle through and through, and while Jon Bernthal is a similarly excellent choice, The Punisher could have been a defining role for Grillo.

Sadly the closest we€™ll come to a Grillo version of Punisher is The Purge: Anarchy, where he€™s practically playing the character anyway.
