Respected hard news outlet IESB.net is reporting that David Murray (Batman Begins, King Arthur) has joined the burgeoning cast of the highly anticipated (at least by Jeff Otto and I) live-action G.I. Joe flick. According to IESB, the UK-based Murray is slated to play the iconic villain Destro, trusted advisor to terrorist leader Cobra Commander.
The news is a tad underwhelming, considering that Destro is G.I. Joe's most recognizable character and Murray is a relative unknown. Some of you may recall our G.I. Joe Casting Smackdown, in which Jeff and I made our own recommendations. You're telling us Vin Diesel wasn't available?
