Towards summer, casting calls for GI Joe 2 turned up for Jinx, Mouse and more, and while there were doubts, the reports turned out to be true. Now there are more. io9 has posted some rather revealing information pertaining to new casting calls, including the names of new characters(and interestingly enough, the twin girls are also mentioned in the article):

• Walker(new Joe)
• Brock(new Joe)
• Robyn(new Joe, apparently there are several new Joes but these are the only 3 that we had not heard of before, listed in the article)
• Lecter(new villain, helps Zartan)
• Smith(helps Lecter)
• Jones(helps Lecter)

Going by the report, we take it that Zartan is confirmed to return in the movie. There is also hint that Storm Shadow may be conflicted on which side he should fight for, and word of "a burly peasant who's really a super-ninja in disguise,...".

The article ends with this plot summary:

All in all, a movie about an evil mastermind impersonating the U.S. President and starting World War III, with lots and lots of high-tech weaponry, could be just about the greatest thing ever. We'll find out on June 29, 2012 when this bad boy hits theaters.

That's not all, they also had character descriptions for the aforementioned cast members, read on to see what these new characters are all about!

WHOIS played a major role when our sister site TFW2005 revealed the title of Transformers 3 back in October 2010.

Today, thanks to the same website, we now have the confirmation of G. I. Joe: Retaliation Website Domains.

www.gijoeretaliation.com and www.gijoeretaliationmovie.com are registered by the same company who registered previous Transformers and G. I. Joe Live Action Movie website domains on behalf of Paramount/Dreamworks and Hasbro.

Mark Monitor previously registered gijoeriseofcobra.com, transformersdarkofthemoon.com, transformersdarkofthemoonmovie.com as well as the previous Transformers Movies. Can you spot a pattern?

But the most amazing part is the domain name creation date:

• Updated Date: 11-oct-2010
• Creation Date: 11-nov-2009

Does this mean the title of the 2nd G. I. Joe movie was with us for nearly two years right under our noses?

And no, there is no Cobra Strikes domain registered.

HISSTank.com member Kalibus made this custom G.I. Joe Stalker V2

"Here is my "BADASS" entry, Stalker v2 aka tundra Stalker. Had to pretty much sculpt from his head down to his feet as there are no current ME parts i could use to match Stalker's ARAH sculpt. I also went with a little more realistic paint scheme. The bright green pants had to go. This guy was a labor of love. Much sweat and blood was spilled in the making of this guy. Literally, I sliced my finger more than once with an X-acto knife. lol"

Kalibus also won the BADASS contest with this entry !

Hasbro has applied for a new Trademark at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, HISSTANK learns. The trademark is named UNIT:E and is classified under various categories including Motion Picture.

The description clearly mention a numerous amount of detail that may apply to many of Hasbro’s brands including Transformers, G. I. Joe, My Little Pony, Nerf, Monopoly and many others (complete description, after the jump).

This new trademark may apply to anything, for we do not know exactly what it means. However, if you all would recall, last year in May, leaked information from Hasbro mentioned a movie featuring many of its brands; a movie very much like Toy Story but with Hasbro toys.

We will update you on this new development as soon as we hear more stuff. Stay tuned with TFW2005, HISSTANK and TOYARK for more info.

G. I. Joe is a franchise owned by Hasbro and it has made millions since its inception in 1964. From G.I. Joe: America's Movable Fighting Man to the 30th Anniversary figures, the franchise lasted this long because of you and me; The Fans.

And this is where the Live Action Movie came in. Like every franchise G. I. Joe too had its ups and downs. Not necessarily saying the 1st Movie was a flop, but majority of the critiques (including most of the fans) never actually liked it in the first place.

This is why the popular online movie magazine; Moviefone has posted an article explaining the importance of the upcoming 2nd G. I. Joe Live Action Movie; G. I. Joe: Retaliation to the fans and vise versa.

Why single out this specific article? You can read “Why 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Brings Hope to G.I. Joe Fans“ at Moviefone to findout exactly why, my friend! After all “Knowing Is Half The Battle”.

HISSTANK’s Live Action Movie Discussion Board is open for you all to discuss your thoughts regarding the upcoming movie. G. I. Joe: Retaliation is currently being produced and is scheduled to be released on 29th June, 2012. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!

Though it's a Hollywood movie - it's an honor to fight along side our real Navy SEALS daily. #GIJoe

The mention of Navy SEALs begs the question, could SEALs be stunt doubles in the movie, on location as military advisors for the sake of some semblance to real world military accuracy, or...

...could some of the fan-favorite Joes that were Navy SEALs make an appearance in GI Joe Retaliation? For example, before the GI Joe A Real American Hero line ended, Shipwreck had become a SEAL in Battle Corps. However good ol' Shipwreck wasn't the 1st, as Torpedo & Wet Suit had years on him.
