Before Channing Tatum was cast as Duke for G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra, another actor was considered to take the role. Jared Padalecki, one of the stars from the TV show Supernatural, turned down the role, as reported by SundayMercury:

He admitted his commitment to the role, which films in and around Vancouver for nine months of the year, has already cost him the lead in GI Joe, the sci-fi summer blockbuster inspired by the action figures that is now starring Channing Tatum.

"It is weird because on the one hand I couldn't do it because I was doing Supernatural, but if I hadn't been doing Supernatural who knows if I would have gotten offered GI Joe.

"It would have been great but then what, you still have to keep working. I'll get it when its time. I think so many people set goals and then get frustrated when something doesn't happen, but I feel like this is a marathon, not a sprint."

G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra premieres on August 7th.
