Actor Ray Stevenson is the new Punisher in 'Punisher: War Zone'. Wizard Universe got an exclusive chance to talk tot he actor about the movie.
“This is in no way to be seen as ‘Punisher 2,’ or even ‘Punisher 3,’” says Stevenson of the fact that the movie is the third take on Marvel's vigilante character, but is not a sequel to either of the previous films. “It’s going full-on for the Garth Ennis and Tim Bradstreet take on Frank Castle. We’re staying very, very true to the authenticity of the comic books. The whole look of the film, the mise en scène, has that light and dark, harsh sodium colors. Frank Castle is definitely the predator.”Stevenson promises a much darker movie than the Thomas Jane version. "Not to take away from anything Tom Jane has done, and I think that [previous] movie stands up on its own, but my take will be different. It’s a newer, darker version.”
Stevenson also has praise for his director, Lexi Alexander. "“She’s got the mind of a warrior, the mind of a fighter. She knows what it’s like to stand toe-to-toe with somebody and know they’re going to try to hit you as hard as they possibly can, and you’re not there to f--- about—so she knows it when she sees it.”

Am i the only one who misses the orginal concept of the Punisher as an assassin from back in the day? I wonder what happened to Jane by the way? I think he did a very good job in the last Punisher flick.
