- G.I. JOE: RETALIATION

G.I. Joe: Retaliation director Jon Chu dropped some
interesting tidbits about his sequel's portrayal of the villainous Cobra
Commander, while talking at a Toy Fair in New York.
When asked by Moviefone whether or not the Cobra Commander
in the sequel is the same character -- character, not actor -- as played by
Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 2009's G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, Chu said with a smile,
"No." The director added, "But we figured out a way that's
pretty nice. And you get the Cobra Commander that you've always wanted. Or, to
me, what I always wanted: a bad-ass villain. He's one of the most iconic
villains ever."
And what of Cobra Commander's fellow villain Destro, played
in the first film by Christopher Eccleston? "You may see a little glimpse
of Destro. We'll have to see," Chu teased.
The director also said his film will pay homage to the
famous silent issue of the Marvel comic series: "I love 'Silent
Interlude.' It's one of my favorite. Obviously that changed everything for Joe.
We do a little homage in our movie to 'Silent Interlude.' I'm very excited for
the fans to see what we do with that."
