Check out the new international trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which shows a lot of new footage from the film. Originally scheduled for a summer 2012 release, Paramount abruptly pushed the film back to March 29th of 2013 after an eleventh hour decision to convert the film to 3-D, and according to some reports, beef up Channing Tatum’s role as Captain Duke Hauser (who apparently died early on in the original cut of film).
The new trailer features new looks at Cobra Commander (in a familiar old school appearance), Storm Shadow, Zartan (disguised as the President), and Cobra’s new ally Firefly (Ray Stevenson).
Added to the cast for the sequel is Dwayne Johnson as Roadblock, Bruce Willis as Joe Colton, Adiranne Palicki as Lady Jaye, D.J. Cotrona as Flint, and Elodie Yung as Jinx.
