Während eines Promotiontrips für ihren aktuellen Film "Rambo" verriet Julie Benz, dass sie sich für ein anderes Projekt von einer Blondine in eine Brünette gewandelt hat, und zwar für "The Punisher - War Zone". Wie sie mitteilte, unterscheidet sich ihre Rolle deutlich von der in "Rambo":
[..] "Her name is Angela Donatelli," Benz said. "She's an Italian from Brooklyn, New York. Unlike Sarah [in 'Rambo'] who is very soft and vulnerable, Angela has got a little bit more of an edge. She's more of a fighter. She's a bit of a momma bear. She's got a little child she's protecting. She's not really happy with anybody. She's kind of in a bad mood."
Außerdem unterstrich sie die Unterschiede zwischen dem aktuellen Dreh und der Zeit im Dschungel von Thailand für Stallones Epos:
[..] "There are some very emotionally intense moments [in 'Punisher: War Zone']. The conditions were different. There was a controlled environment and we were working mainly interiors. It didn't have that quality to it. There was just something about you shooting in the jungle. There's nothing like it and it just raised the intensity level of everything."
Mitte September kommt das Sequel zu "The Punisher" in die amerikanischen Kinos. Deutlich früher, und zwar am Valentinstag, dagegen "Rambo" in unsere Lichtspielhäuser.
