Who is producer Adi Shankar? Well, according to Wiki:

Aditya Shankar (born January 8, 1985) is an Indian-American film producer, screenwriter, film director, television program creator, television showrunner, and occasional actor. In the 2010’s he was best known for Dredd, Castlevania and his "Bootleg Universe" One-Shot series of fan films. In the 2020s, he reinvented himself as a TV series creator and auteur with critically acclaimed Netflix series such as The Guardians of Justice, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, and the upcoming Devil May Cry. He remains the youngest producer to have a number one film at the North American box office with the 2012 film The Grey.[2]

This film is one of those from the Bootleg Universe. Thomas Jane returns to reprise his role as Frank Castle from the 2004 adaptation of The Punisher. You've also got Ron Pearlman in the mix as well!

Enjoy The Punisher: Dirty Laundry.

Bonus trivia:

There was also another Punisher fan film called The Dead Can't Be Distracted directed by Mike Pecci. Unfortunately, all we got to see, was this thirty-second teaser. Marvel got wind of the project and stopped it from being released.

You can find out more about that here.

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed with the sequel. Wasn’t it called Punisher: War Zone or something?

There's been a few over the years but the 2004 one was directed by Jonathan Hensleigh and that was the one with Thomas Jane and John Travolta. Then in 2008 warzone came out directed by Lexi Alexander with Ray Stevenson and it just didn't didn't feel right.

Adi does a great job telling a story and his gritty style is perfect for the punisher, I think it would have made the 2004 one tame 😂
