Channig Tatum was the actor who portrayed Duke in the 2009 movie
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (or for denial purposes a character named Duke in a film that just happens to be titled
G.I. Joe).
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra barely scrapped through the box offices and had to rely on Blu-Ray and DVD sales just to make its remaining budget back.
So what happened with the flop that was
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra? Why it is getting a sequel, written by the impressive duo behind
Zombieland and
Deadpool, Rhett Rheese and Paul Wernick.
Now the film's star Channing Tatum offered an update on the progress of the sequel to
COLLIDER:
"From everything I’ve heard, there’s a script. They’re trying to figure out something going on behind the scenes with the director. They keep everything pretty close to the chest with those big movies but I do know there’s a script.
"I have not read it yet. I’m about to start lighting a fire under those guys’ feet to give it to me because I’m dying to know. I know it’s substantial. It’s definitely different from what I hear."
All we know about a sequel to
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra other than its writing team is that the cast that includes Channing Tatum, Dennis Quaid, Ray Park, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Sienna Miller, Marlon Wayans and Rachel Nichols are expected to return.
