Over at Soompi, Korean actor Byung-Hun Lee (who plays Storm Shadow in the G.I. Joe films) talks about the character's return in the upcoming sequel, G.I. Joe: Retaliation. In 2009's Rise Of Cobra, Storm Shadow died, so many wondered how the character's resurrection in the sequel would play out after it was confirmed that Lee would reprise the role in Retaliation. While not saying much, Lee teases what we can expect in the film's explanation of the resurrection. "In the film, there is no separate explanation. However, there is a hint as to how ‘Storm Shadow’ resurrects."

Additionally, the actor praises the character of Storm Shadow, while also revealing if he'll be an ally of the Joes or the Cobra army. "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."

Better be a clone, or maybe the other one was a Skrull, lol.

Clone

i thought it would make sense, as far as continuity, that Storm Shadow revives with something related to the nanomites from the first movie

BrowniesExplode - 5/12/2012, 11:43 AM

I bet its the same one maybe a cobra troop found him

continuezero - 5/12/2012, 11:53 AM

Super Ninja is definitely logical enough for me. We didnt question guys coming back in the comics or cartoons...I see no need to do it here.

even tho he got stab in the first movie it did not feel he got killed off.

God I just hope its better then the last one please give us a good Joe movie!

I think that the hint he is referring to is what sets up the big mountain ninja fight.

laughterman26 - 5/12/2012, 3:14 PM

i bet he joins the joes then gets captured then they go to rescue him hence the 10 min ninja scene.

HarrisonBergeron - 5/12/2012, 3:59 PM

Nope

ShibazzJenkins2 - 5/12/2012, 5:11 PM

@NOWTHERSABATMAN~ exactly

SuperSomething616 - 5/13/2012, 1:43 AM

Think its safe to say he'll be a clone...

gs3007 - 5/13/2012, 9:53 AM

a combination of the nanomites and the artic waters which kept him alive and the nanomites "repaired" his wounds.
