Sure, it had cheesy dialogue and ridiculous-looking effects, but G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra's $100-million opening weekend was enough for Paramount to grant director Stephen Sommers and company another "Go, Joe!"
The cast is ready to return, with Dennis Quaid telling io9:
Yeah if they do one, I'm there.
And Byung-hun Lee, who played Storm Shadow in G.I. Joe, is reportedly starting work on the sequel at the end of the year according to a Korean news source.
Top star Lee Byeong-Heon is in the new Hollywood film, G.I. Joe 2!
He will be starting the filming by the end of this year and has been contracted for the 3rd sequel, also!
No official word on whether Sommers is retuning for the sequel, though he has said that he would shoot his live-action Tarzan movie next "unless the studio wants a G.I. Joe sequel."
What will go down in G.I. Joe 2? Well, screenwriter Stuart Beattie has already given some hints.
