G.I Joe 2 to Include Cobra Island Says Channing Tatum

G.I Joe 2 to Include Cobra Island Says Channing Tatum

With G.I Joe 2 in the works, it seems that we will have the same cast for Duke, Channing Tatum, and he thinks Cobra Island will appear in the sequel.

I know some of you will hate the idea of a sequel for G.I Joe 2, but the director of Rise of the Cobra has stepped down and we got ZombieLand writers in the game! Aren't they attached to Deadpool? Well at least they will handle the script for the sequel to G.I Joe. According to Channing Tatum, he is ready for the role and believes that Cobra Island might appear in the film.

Promoting his new film, Dear John, which actually knocked AVATAR's run out of the box office for the first time, he revealed some updates on the upcoming G.I Joe sequel near the end of the video. Skip till near the end of the video to hear the G.I Joe tidbits.



Gr8Valkyrie: I think the sequel might pay off since Steven Sommers is not attached to the project and we might see a different and maybe a badass G.I Joe cast while Duke may still belong to Tatum.

i thought GI-Joe was a decent flick. They screwed up majorly on Cobra commander and a few other things but it was entertaining....need to trade it in to moviestop for something better though lol
Glad i wanted till DVD release lol

for what it was, it was a decent movie, not great. you expected campy material but if my memory serves me correctly, the cartoon was cheeserific; basing a movie on that is tough business. all and all, it was majorly flawed in it's acting but was an all-around "ok" movie.

Hi guys, I come to you from an ICU waiting room in GA, my father-in-law, who we shall call Big Poppa, is recouping from a serious illness and so I've been off the posts since last week. He's doing much better now so wish him luck.

Most of you know my feelings on GI JOE the rise of shit fest, and especially Mister Channing Tatum…. I utterly despise them both, along with “the director” Stephen Sommers. I hated this flick with a passion I thought was unreachable over something so trivial to my life as a whole.

I don’t want any kind of sequel to this franchise, hell I’d like to think the whole thing never happened and I think the idea of releasing a sequel to this tripe is horribly misguided and unwarranted anyway.

The truth is the first film was a modest, extremely modest, success given its budget and the GI Joe 25th anniversary line of toys in release before the film were actually far out selling the Movie Joe figures that replaced them, if the studio and Hasbro know what is good for them they will lay off a sequel and come back in 10 years with a reboot done properly. If not, given the horrible reviews of the first film and the general bad taste it left in the fan’s and general public’s mouths I think they are going to have a mega bomb on their hands.

And as for those who say, but the cartoon was campy… Yes it was, but the comic done by Marvel and written by Larry Hama was truly kickass and proof that this property if handled with respect could be a damn good series.

i like the first movie i thought it was a good set up they sdhowed who the hero and villians( so the ppl who saw the movie know who are good and bad) were. they got some action init( ppl like action in movie) and a lil love story( they just did it for the girls but it worked out great made lot of sense) and a great ending to set up a sequel( if you seen the movie you know that the president was replace by that guy that could be any1 and cobra was sent to jail with destro and everyone knows the president will let them go free or something )


nerosday- dude only the fans didnt like it and im a fan of g.i.joe and i liked the movie and alot of the non-fan who never knew what or who g.i.joe or even read a single comic book of g.i.joe loved the movie it was just a movie to see with your family and have fun. and i had fun watching it it was good( thats my opinion)


and they just need to fix combra helmet and thats it.

xmutantx- i agree with you tatum isnt a bad actor which all actors are not bad or great they are all good. and he does play a solider in his movies know which hes actuallyy good at. and dude he could do emtion seen from his new movie dear jhon

They could film an old woman crapping on a table for two hours, call it GI Joe 2 and this thing wiould still make sh!tloads of money...it sickens me. The first movie was terrible and not just because of the writing and story (which were really bad) but the actors were crap.

We'll need a real Cobra Commander, real Destro, better costume design for Snake Eyes (without the Power Rangers mask), Lady Jay, Gung-ho, Shipwreck,Tomax and Xamot, Road Block, Flint, better dialog, no more Ripcord and more Baroness!!!! The rest should work itself out ...

Hey thanks bro:)

Look guys I think G.I Joe is not the worse CBM ever. I mean it wasn't great but it was decent and fun in a sense. The Worse CBM hands down was Catwoman yuck! Spiderman 3 sucked as well.

I really enjoyed the first movie. Most of the Acting sucked nuts, but The awesome fights scenes and Sienna Miller in them Baroness = Awesome. Channing Tatum did a horrible job as Duke, He needs to be fired, Wayans needs to be fired, please God get rid of Dennis Quad.

Thanks LEEE and Apache I'll pass on the love to Big Poppa. He had a serious side effect reaction to some arthritis medication and basically sloughed off the inner layer of his lung tissue, so he was bleeding out internally, they were actually treating him as if he had TB at first before the biopsy results showed the real problem... scary stuff. He has a chest tube now to drain the bleeding and the pressure has been relieved and he's holding more O2 on his own. When you see these ads for meds and they say a side effect could be death they aren't kidding. They’re moving him from ICU to critical care today. At this rate of recovery he should be out of here in a couple weeks, so that's good. Mrs and I are staying at the in-laws place between visits so it looks like I'm gonna miss the Avengers FanArt Contest, oh well I'll still post the drawings when we get home next week.

I liked G.I. Joe. Every person I know in real life has liked it. EVERYONE online hates it. Kinda strange. Anyway, I will see it regardless, cause I love GI Joe itself (Snake Eyes). Hopefully we will see more characters in the sequel. I really want to see Beachhead from the Joes and the Twins from Cobra. Oh and if they could PLEASE change Cobra Commander back to the old school outfit or the newer KKK version I'd be very happy.

Bombrman, Storm Shadow is dead. He was epically stabbed by Snake Eyes and then fell into freezing ice water, shirtless, mind you, to top it off. He's dead. There's no bsing about that. He's done lol.

Reboot! Reboot! What the f*ck was the booster suit thing? Crap!!! and Cobra commander was butchered worse than Anakin Skywalker. I hate pointless unbelievable character connections...Why did Duke have to date the Baroness?!!!?? whose brother is Cobra Commander or the Doctor or what ever the f*ck that was...why did Darth Vader build C-3PO...Arrgg kill this before it gets worse.
