‘G. I. Joe 3’ Cast Of Characters: Who Could Be In It?
The G. I. Joe 3 cast of characters hasn’t been decided yet, but we do know Paramount has landed a writer for the script. Jonathan Lemkin, whose previous work includes Lethal Weapon 4 and Snow White and the Huntsmen, is now in charge of the first step in what will end up being the next Dwayne Johnson headliner probably in Summer 2016.
With the death of most of the Joes from the first movie, it’s obvious that Duke and the rest of the original team won’t be returning. We are going to need some new recruits if the next movie is going to go anywhere. The relationship between Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) and her mentor (the original Joe, played by Bruce Willis) has been done so there will need to be a new direction this time.
After publicly threatening to blow up the world, it’s obvious that Cobra Commander has made enemies with all of the major countries and will probably need new recruits himself. The new G. I. Joe 3 cast is going to have to bring in more classics and possibly some lesser known characters.
For the Joes, it may be time to bring in Gung Ho, the Marine from the Louisiana bayou. Even though Southern actor Channing Tatum won’t be back, having already died in his role as Duke, we can rule him out for the role.
Bringing in Gung Ho will definitely open up some options for swamp characters, and the G. I. Joe canon certainly has its share of those. Cutter wasn’t a major character, but he was the pilot of a specialized hovercraft. Mutt and his dog Junkyard might also make their way into the G. I. Joe 3 cast. Airtight and Clean-Sweep could also be brought in to deal with some kind of poison swamp gas Cobra may be planning to use in an effort to once again wipe out the heroes. Leatherneck and Muskrat (another Marine and a swamp fighter) are other possible additions for the team.

Cobra in the 80s G. I. Joe cartoon had a special group of biker-type characters who always hung out in the swamps. The Dreadnoks could make their first appearance as special recruits under Zartan (after it turns out the nano-technology saved his life), working as guerrilla warfare specialists with their scrapping tools. Copperhead, Croc Master, and Toxo-Viper would fit right in as well. We might even see Dr. Mindbender brought back as a power mad clone of his former self.
This is all assuming that the third movie will take place in the Southern U.S., of course, but it will bring in some popular characters for the G. I. Joe 3 cast. It might even help to have a more Rambo or Predator style setting.
