De Netflix exclusive serie The Punisher is zeer in de smaak gevallen bij de fans die maar geen genoeg van deze anti-held kunnen krijgen en het hele Marvel universum dat er nu is op Netflix. In deze serie is ook de actrice Amber Rose Revah (die Homeland Security agent Dinah Madani speelt) te zien, en had de website Collider een interview met haar en daar van kan je hier onder een klein stukje lezen.


Collider: How did you come to The Punisher, and when you auditioned for this role, did you know what you were actually auditioning for?

AMBER ROSE REVAH
: I was sent some scenes, but they weren't scenes from the actual show. They were scenes that the showrunner had mocked up for the character. I live in the UK, in London, so I was sent them over there, and there were three different scenes. They were all quite distinct and they showed very different sides to the character's personalities. And then, I sent a tape in and we went from there. With Marvel and Netflix, everything is so secretive. I was given, bit by bit, pieces of information, as we were going along. It really wasn't until I actually touched down in New York that I was given the script. You can imagine how mad that is. And then, as the show went on, we were only given the script just more than a week before we'd shoot them. It's interesting because it means that you're very present in the moment of what you're doing then. So, it was slowly a revelation of what was going to come, but I was really happy with it. I think she's a fantastic character and I'm very privileged to play her. She's a really interesting woman and she has so many sides to her. They've given her a backstory and she's very rounded, which I love. That's very important to me. So, I was more than satisfied.

Before this show, were you a fan of comic books, or did you watch any of the superhero TV shows and movies?

REVAH
: My sister is a huge fan of comics, but I didn't grow up reading comics, a great deal. It was really interesting because everyone I know was like, "The Punisher is the best!," and you have all of these people suddenly coming out. And apparently, I've been seeing The Punisher symbol for years and just never noticed it. It was great because, for me, it was starting from scratch. I'd watched the Netflix collaborations. I'd watched Daredevil and Jessica Jones, and I loved those. So, I just dove into it.
