Yesterday we got a good low res look at a international banner for G.I. Joe Retaliation that featured Roadblock, Joe Colton, Lady Jaye, and Storm Shadow. Today Paramount has released an official character poster for the film that brings The Rock front and center as Roadblock. Since it is based on the shot from the banner we might be able to expect some more character posters pretty soon. Check it out below.

A follow-up to the 2009 release of G.I. JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA, which grossed over $300M worldwide, Paramount Pictures, MGM and Skydance Productions, in association with HASBRO and di Bonaventura Pictures, commences production on G.I. JOE: RETALIATION. In this sequel, the G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence.


G.I. Joe Retaliation stars D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, Adrianne Palicki, Jonathan Pryce, RZA, Ray Stevenson, Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson, and will be released on June 29, 2012.

I hope killing off Duke is just a ploy to trick Cobra. I know Tatum may not be everyone's favorite pick, but come oonnnn,,it's Duke!!

@StrangerX i would be cool if we think he dies and either he comes back at end to stop cobra or in after credits we see hes alive witch would lead to gijoe 3...................yo joe!!!

@ StrangerX - I agree I really hope they don't kill off Duke!!!

I agree DoubleD... I hope this isn't just a rock movie even though I like his flicks. I know I will jear this from people but I am not excited about Willis in this. He is good in some things but not a Joe!

That is some terrible photoshop...

I realize Bane isn't supposed to be flashy or anything, but I feel like the torso of his costume could have used some of the definition of the one the Rock is wearing here. I think it would have helped him to look more impressive. It's hard to tell though since the Rock always looks massive anyway.

I actually can't wait! Badass indeed!
AlexDeLarge87 - 4/19/2012, 7:47 AM
Yeah i agree dont kill Duke! Cast him with a different actor in the next movie (if this is a success) but dont kill him.
Charlie Hunnam would be great! And Aaron Eckhart as Hawk!
AlexDeLarge87 - 4/19/2012, 7:48 AM
Dwayne would have been awesome Bane!:)
AlexDeLarge87 - 4/19/2012, 7:49 AM
Under a good script and director he is not that bad actor.
JasonCYates - 4/19/2012, 8:53 AM
In the poster, he's looking at the "R" on his vest hoping no one thinks he's the new ROBIN,LOL:)!!!
MisterJay - 4/19/2012, 8:53 AM
i cant wait....but... are they going to kill duke????? ...
KNIGHT3000 - 4/19/2012, 11:21 AM
Dwayne shoulda been BANE

best wrestler alive !!!

@ SuperArgo: That, actually sounds pretty good. He's certainly a better choice than the midget they have playing Bane now.

Sorry, "little person."

The Rock and even more so, Vin diesel, have good look for Bane. Unfortunately, Nolan casts great actors for his films. Not, whoever.
BIGBMH - 4/19/2012, 3:30 PM
What Neo said.

He has the stature to play Bane, but I'm sure TDKR will focus more on the mental aspect of Bane than what he is physically capable of doing. It's also possible Nolan wants Bane to be more like Batman evil equal (Venom, Bizarro, Reverse-Flash) so having Hardy not tower over Bale will serve that aspect.
