The Punisher’s Ben Barnes Wants to do a Romcom Next

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”12630″ img_size=”800×461″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Ben Barnes has had some devilishly good roles under his belt, including Logan from Westworld and Billy Russo from The Punisher. The English actor though, recently stated to Flaunt magazine that it’s a light-hearted romcom that he is looking for.

“I’m always looking to do whatever I haven’t just done. So having played that kind of character in The Punisher and that kind of untrustworthiness of the ego and selfishness of something like Logan in Westworld I think that it would be nice to do something a little more sunnier. I grew with all those ‘80s romcoms and those Harry Met Sally sort of things and the Richard Curtis types and (I’m) always looking for something really kind of positive to go out into the world like that. But it’s so rare to find one that really kind of fresh and funny but something like that is definitely on my bucket list.”

This is not to say Barnes is giving up his “darker” roles, knowing as soon as he’d do a romcom he’d be ready to have a more serious role:

“As soon as I do something like that then I’ll want to do something set in a prison, do you know what I mean? Just to kind of have balance,” he smiled.
