No Punisher Sequel?

"The returns have been pretty disappointing. Tom Jane has won raves, so he's going to come out of it all alright and word is, he's already in talks to play another comic book-esque character, but he probably won't be doing the sequel to this. It was supposed to be full-speed ahead on chapter two, but the studio realizes it's not going to make any money so have erased it from the future flatplan. Too much money at stake". A sequel might happen one day, says the scooper, but most likely without Jane and probably as a straight to video title.

I don't know how many people liked The Punisher but I thought it was a good film. I think they are also looking over the fact that Punisher came out on the same weekend as Kill Bill Volume 2. If anyone is to blame for its low box office returns its LGF for releasing it then.
