UPDATED: Punisher: War Zone - Photos of Jigsaw

Here is a first look at the villain, Jigsaw, from the new Punisher: War Zone movie. Playing the pieced-together villain is actor Dominic West, who seems barely recognizable behind the stitches and staples holding his character’s face together. In the “Punisher” comic book series, Jigsaw is one of the Marvel vigilante’s few recurring enemies, as most of the villains who cross his path tend to end up on the wrong end of bullet or, as the comics-version of Jigsaw discovered, a plate glass window. Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante-hero Frank Castle sets his sights on overeager mob boss Billy Russoti. After Russoti is left horribly disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw. With the "Punisher Task Force" hot on his trail and the FBI unable to take Jigsaw in, Frank must stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before more of his evil deeds go unpunished.

Punisher: War Zone stars Ray Stevenson, Dominic West, Doug Hutchinson, Wayne Knight, Dash Mihok, Colin Salmon and Julie Benz, and was directed by Lexi Alexander. The film opens on December 5, 2008.

UPDATE 22/11/08: There is now a featurette out showing Jigsaw in action. Have a look at it here.

Still not sure whether this Punisher movie will be any good. Do you think it will be cool Punisher or Dolph Lundgren Punisher? Does Jigsaw look bad ass to you?
