First rumored by MovieWeb.com to be the choice for the “most dangerous man alive”, it would seem that Joseph Gordon-Levitt might have been cast as Cobra Commander in the live action motion picture due to hit theatres in 2009.
GIJoeClub.com has updated their “movie cast” page with an new photoshopped image of the actor’s face over a Cobra logo. No official confirmation has been made by either Hasbro or Paramount Pictures at this time.
Check out Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s resume on IMDB.com.
Latino Review is reporting that the casting process for Duke in the upcoming G.I. Joe film has been narrowed down to three finalists. Those finalists are Chris Evans, Channing Tatum, and Matthew Fox.
This is still rumor mill material so far, but Latino Review has a decent track record. It should also be noted that the writer at Latino Review is quite optimistic about what he’s been hearing about the G.I. Joe film from an insider’s perspective. Hopefully this means good things down the road.

According to both LatinoReview.com and IESB.net the role of James Cullen aka “Destro” may be going to actor Dominic West.
Last seen in as “Theron” in 300 and soon-to-be hitting screens as “Jigsaw” in Punisher: War Zone, this actor could very well soon be donning a metal mask and arming the Cobra organization.
No official confirmation is available at this time.
UPDATE: IESB.net has ammended their previous article to state that the rumor is indeed false.

According to this article at IESB.net, Heavy Duty and Breaker have joined the G.I. Joe Motion Picture team. While many fans will continue to question the constant inclusion of Heavy Duty over Roadblock, I think it’s safe to say people are pretty excited to see Breaker as part of the team.
Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr. Eko of “Lost” fame) will portray the G.I. Joe Heavy Weapons Expert while Said Taghmaoui will star as the Communications Specialist. Quite a step up from the Marlon Wayans rumors that were circulating earlier today. Click on each actor’s name to see their IMDB profiles and thanks to SPC Airborne for the heads up.
