Paddy Considine (Hot Fuzz, Bourne Ultimatum) has revealed that he is being considered for a role in the new "Punisher" film, entitled "Punisher: War Zone."
"I've just been offered PUNISHER 2," said Considine, which immediately raised the question of what character he will be playing. "The role is that of Jigsaw," he revealed. "I haven't read the script yet. I shall be doing so today."
Jigsaw was first known as Billy Russo, who was a favorite assassin for the Costa crime family, and at one point went after Frank Castle, but failed to kill him. When Castle returned to track him down, Russo was thrown through a glass pane and ended up ripping his face to shreds. Surgeons stitched it back together like a jigsaw puzzle. Taking advantage of his now hideous visage, the formerly handsome gangster took on the identity of Jigsaw, and initially attempted to frame the Punisher for murder. [via Wikipedia]
Considine does not seem familiar with the comic books and the character he is offered to play. A user posted a comment, stating: "Jigsaw, isn't that the little puppet thing from Saw?" Considine replied: "That's what I thought!!!"
