With New York's Toy Fair going on this week we have heard a lot from the cast and crew of G.I. Joe Retaliation. While at the event MTV caught up with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to talk about his role in the film as Roadblock. Johnson said that you can expect him not only to get physical with Ray Stevenson as Firefly, but also Cobra Commander as well.



On who his physical adversaries of the film will be:
"There are a couple. There is Firefly, who's played by Ray Stevenson. Of course, there's Cobra. [Cobra Commander] is a physical adversary, as well as Firefly. That was one of the cool things about the script and about this character; it's finding the right adversary and building to that. So we have Firefly and then ultimately Cobra."


G.I. JOE Retaliation stars D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, Adrianne Palicki, Jonathan Pryce, RZA, Ray Stevenson, Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson, and will be released on June 29, 2012.

If this director can't make a fight between the Rock and Ray Stevenson entertaining, he officially sucks. That should be easy. He will get placed in the same category as Mark Steven Johnson, who couldn't even make a cool action movie about a flaming skeleton on a motorcycle!

@Gusto - Did he throw a little two hard?

@Grifter- Storm Shadow is Sanke Eyes' problem/rsponsibility!

And I'm liking that they made Cobra Commander a physical threat as well.

There are so many other Joes that are higher ranked than Roadblock. I have a feeling that he's going to lead the Joes in the film just because The Rock is top-billed. And also that Flint, who's an actual field commander next to Duke, is gonna be taking orders from him.

"...throws down"?
Is that a sexual reference?

I'm hoping the film will be 'buy a ticket worthy rather than wait to see it ala' DVD'.

In other words, I hoping it's 'G.I. Joe'...and NOT 'G.I. Joke!'

Yup. Chris Latta passed away back in the 90's. His iconic original Starscream and Cobra Commander voices lives on.
