Jon M. Chu has helmed the project from a script by Zombieland’s Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and we’ll be getting some familiar faces from the first film returning, as well as a host of new talent too.
Channing Tatum, Ray Park, and Lee Byung-hun reprise their roles from G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and joining them will be Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Bruce Willis, Adrianne Palicki, Elodie Yung, Ray Stevenson, RZA, D.J. Cotrona, and Walton Goggins.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation will be released on 22nd June this year here in the UK, before setting sail across the Atlantic a week later to hit US theatres on June 29th. The first trailer we caught back in December made everything look pretty awesome, and the Super Bowl TV spot coupled with this new trailer has only furthered the excellent special effects we’ve seen, with a healthy dose of comedy.
With a few more months to go, you can whet your appetites now with some great new footage from the film, followed by a shot of Bruce Willis looking pretty bemused with Dwayne Johnson suitably living up to his character’s name, Roadblock. As usual, click to enlarge.

This looks like a huge improvement over Stephen Sommers’ efforts. Glad to see they went with a more Cobra Commander-esque mask too – big improvement!
I don’t think this movie will be released in 3D, which is cool in my opinion.
My mistake, I think you’re right!
I think I had it in my head that it was in 3D because they got Jon M. Chu on board, who’s done Step Up 3D and Justin Bieber’s 3D documentary/concert movie.
I’ll update the post now; thanks for the heads up!
Not being in 3D is cool in my opinion too.
