It is directed by Hiroshi Hamasaki, an anime director best known for works like Shigurui: Death Frenzy and Texhnolyze, and based on a story written by Brandon Auman.Matthew Mercer and Norman Reedus voiced Tony Stark and Punisher respectively.
The film is produced by SH DTV Partners, a partnership between Marvel Entertainment, Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan and Madhouse.
Screenwriter Brandon Auman stated in an interview with MTV Geek that he was in Japan when he got the call from Marvel to participate in the project, and that he was pleased to work with Madhouse. He said that the reason for choosing Ezekiel Stane as the main villain of the film was because he is the "new Tony Stark".
