Director Lexi Alexander has informed through her official site that three more actors have been picked up to join male lead Ray Stevenson in "Punisher: War Zone", which is slated to begin filming next month in Montreal, Canada.

Saying she has the best cast on the planet, the German filmmaker mentioned the names to be Dash Mihok, Colin Salmon, and Doug Hutchinson. Mihok is learned to play Detective Martin Soap while Salmon and Hutchinson are billed as Agent Paul Budiansky and Loony Bin Jim, respectively.

In addition, Alexander further admitted that she has already had "the perfect, most talented Jigsaw" whose identity she refused to disclose for now, advising fans to stay tuned instead. English actor Paddy Considine was previously known to be offered the part, but the overture was ultimately pulled within hours as the original choice for the role decided to join in.
