Social media continues to infect G.I. Joe: Retaliation, this time with the Cobra Special Forces on Facebook. They’ve been slowly releasing images of various Cobra Troopers and even Firefly, but this image might just top them all!
Here we see the immortal Cobra Commander standing menacingly in front of a Cobra symbol on the wall of his lair. A very malicious, very cool image. Check it out at Cobra Special Forces, or mirrored below.

Well, he refers to it, though he admits up front that there is no real clear indication as to exactly how the character survived. At Soompi.com, several quotes from the Korean actor reveal that Storm Shadow does indeed apparently return from the dead in the sequel, though Lee Byung-Hun admits the way he does it isn’t necessarily clearly explained.
“In the film there is no separate explanation. However, there is a hint as to how ‘Storm Shadow’ resurrects.” The star added, “I really like the role of Storm Shadow. In order to act him out, I studied his character history and he was the most charming character of G.I. Joe. In the film there is a division between the Cobra army and Joes, however Storm Shadow does not really belong to either group. I liked the fact that the character was a lonely fighter.”
So, according to the actor himself, there is no real “separate explanation” but a hint as to how the character resurrects. Something tells me the hint lies within the clear, water-filled tubes, but I guess we will find out June 29th!

Now this poster is pretty cool. Not a whole lot of action, just featuring mostly head shots of the cast, we get some pretty cool layout, some London damage in the background, and a very cool shot of Cobra Commander, Storm Shadow, and a masked Firefly all along the bottom. I dig this poster big time.
Thanks to NFCJD for pointing it out, and you can find it on ImpAwards.com.
And what the hell. Still no Flint? It’s a conspiracy, dammit! Don’t worry, DJ Cotrona, there are fans out here who still love you.

Gotta love social media. This whole G.I. Joe: Retaliation phenomenon exploded when both Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jon M. Chu began their Twitter campaigns during the film’s production.
Well, now that filming is mostly wrapped, we have the Cobra Special Forces Facebook page, designed as a social media recruitment tool of sorts, revealing some very cool images from the G.I. Joe: Retaliation film. To this point it’s been pictures of the Cobra Troopers…but today, we get Firefly! An awesome image of the Cobra saboteur from what looks like a scene after he blows up the building with the Cobra motorcycle. Check out the image below, and make sure you’re dialed into Cobra Special Forces on Facebook as well!

Yes, the G.I. Joe: Renegades Amazon 4-Pack had sold through yet again, but as of right now, both sets are back in stock!
If you want to see my thoughts on the Renegades set, check out the reviews below.

Thanks to ComingSoon.net we have a look at the last G.I. Joe: Retaliation theatrical poster. The poster takes some imagery from the previous character posters and combines it all into one pretty cool looking theatrical poster for the film.
Loving how this looks. Another poster to add to my growing “want list”! Check out the original post on ComingSoon.net, and also mirrored below. Thanks to the Twitter account for the General Geekery Podcast for the heads up!
UPDATE – It looks like there are also posters for Brazil and the UK as well, which I’ve included in the gallery below. The Brazil one is the split one that actually has Firefly in it. The other one with Lee Byung-Hun subtly included is for the UK.
So, poor Flint is 0 for 3 on Retaliation posters. What did he ever do to you, Paramount?!? Thanks to toycollector962 for the updated info.
