G.I. Joe Movie Spoiler — Cobra Commander is Duke’s Best Friend?
By Nix | January 14, 2008 (1:51 pm)
The G.I. Joe stuff is coming in pretty regular now, with the movie gearing up for production soon. Even so, I was surprised to stumble across this little bit of SPOILER over at CHUD, which has the identity of Cobra Commander, and his past relation to G.I. Joe bigwig Duke. I’m marking this as SPOILER, so don’t read on if you don’t want to know.
More:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character is Duke’s best friend… and he’s also Cobra Commander. It seems that the character was a former Joe who went to the old dark side and started the whole Cobra terrorist organization.
Well, a couple of things there: Isn’t Joseph Gordon-Levitt a little too young to be playing the Cobra Commander, much less the “best friend” of Duke, who I am guessing will be a guy in his ’30s or possibly early ’40s? And where exactly is the wisdom of making a 20-something actor the head honcho of a terrorist organization?
Eh, I don’t know, it doesn’t sound right to me.
Mike,
This could be the beginning of the next Great sci-fi series.
It could be as big as Star Wars--if down correctly.
I ...
Thank you for the detailed review! I've put this on my que to watch. 
I think these guys are outta control.....yes the re-make of Texas Chainsaw was good..not great but good....plus the TCM franchise ...
Tagor call me soon
It's emergency... 
well think about it this way… perhaps he will play duke’s best friend in flashbacks when they were younger and fighting in wars together. And now grown older he could just wear the mask the whole time so you wont really be able to tell his age. I think it could be hidden easily and pulled off.
oK IT’S ruined! F that! Thy never get it right in Hollywood. First Heath Ledger as the Joker and now this? As a fan I want CC to be one bad ass mother! Suckfest.
