HISSTank.com member Stronox made this custom G.I. Joe POC Wild Bill from the following.

"I made Wild Bill from a PoC Duke, RoC Wild Bill, and upper legs from a resolute trooper.
I wanted some good holsters to match his pistols so I trimmed Jango Fett's belt off as well.
Now, if I could only get a good chopper to go with him... Hope you guys like!"

So it turns out that initial report of the Sgt Savage character Mouse In GI Joe II turned out to be legit. Actor John Mazzello has been cast as Mouse in GI Joe II. John Mazzello has appeared in Jurassic Park and The Pacific to name a few. Here's more from Deadline:

Joe Mazzello has been set to play the role of Mouse in G.I. Joe 2: Cobra Strikes, a role a lot of young guys wanted in the Jon M. Chu-directed Paramount film that stars Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki and Ray Stevenson. Mazzello, the kid in the original Jurassic Park, most recently co-starred in the Emmy-winning HBO miniseries The Pacific and was last seen in The Social Network.

What do you think of this casting choice?

ComingSoon.net has just reported that the release date for the G.I. Joe movie sequel, being referred to as Retaliation, will open on June 29th, 2012. ComingSoon.net has also gone on to say that they have confirmed that no official title has been chosen for the film.

It was also stated that the Star Trek sequel being directed by JJ Abrams (also a Paramount movie like the G.I. Joe sequel) was originally supposed to open at the June 29th slot but will now be pushed back to the 2012 Holiday or even Summer of 2013, and the vacant slot was given to the G.I. Joe sequel directed by Jon M. Chu.

If the news is accurate, this puts the sequel less than a year a way from fans of the franchise.

Now, this may sound a bit weird but rumors are surfacing regarding a casting call for two young African-American Twin Girls.

If the rumor is true then they may very well be looking for the young girls to play the part of younger selves of two Twin characters (as a flashback scene or something) in G. I. Joe 2. This is just a guess on this writer's side. Who knows?

The rumor is mind-numbing, this just… no… can’t be the Crimson Twins; Tomax and Xamot!?!

Back in February there were some rumors circulating around the internet mentioning the Crimson Twins in the sequel yet portrayed much differently than we know. Could this casting news be that rumor coming to life?
