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.

So, fans of Bludd– don’t despair, Sebastian is coming. He’s just one month later than expected.
