When asked about the action figure Gordon-Levitt states:
"That toy is not my face. It's a mask. I like that I get to keep my face," he said. "It has less to do with me and more to do with this character that I helped create. That's more thrilling to me. It's this thing that was born out of a creative, collaborative process between me and a bunch of other people that all worked on creating this character."
Well thank the maker! That toy was a horrible version and hopefully not what we will see in the G.I. Joe movie.
Gordon-Levitt offered further details regarding Cobra Commander, he goes on to say:
"The way the character looks, that's what ultimately convinced me to do the part," he says. "I saw the designs and drawings of the way they interpreted my character for this movie - the costume, the whole getup - and I was like, 'Oh, wow. I get to be that guy? Fantastic. Sign me up. Please. Thank you.'"
G.I. JOE RISE OF COBRA opens in theaters August 7.
