After raking in worldwide grosses of nearly $300 million, it’s no surprise that G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was getting a sequel. Now, thanks to a Korean news site, we know that G.I. Joe 2 will begin filming by the end of the year.
The article (which comes our way thanks to iesb) focuses on Korean actor Lee Byeong-Heon, who played the inimitable Storm Shadow. The report declares that Byeong-Heon will “be starting the filming by the end of this year and has been contracted for the 3rd sequel, also!”

Assuming this is true, (and why wouldn’t we believe an obscure Korean news article, right?) Paramount is wasting no-time at all on moving forward with the G.I. Joe franchise. Hopefully, since there’s no writer’s strike to muck up the script, the plot will of the next film will be slightly better than the first.
In related G.I. Joe news, Dennis Quaid has told io9 that he’s definitely on board for G.I. Joe 2. Specifically, he said “Yeah if they do one, I’m there.” It’s interesting to note that Quaid’s remarks about G.I. Joe say “if” and not “when.” I’m purely speculating here, but if we’re hearing that G.I. Joe 2 will start filming at the end of the year, wouldn’t casting be finalized?
On the other hand, Quaid’s remarks came at the end of a very long interview that focused mainly on Pandorum, not G.I. Joe, so there was no really no reason for him to elaborate further. Plus, whenever we’re dealing with foreign news stories, there’s always the chance for mistranslation.
What do you think? Are you ready to see G.I. Joe 2?

Sweet can’t wait
If it has a better story, better CG (or better yet, less of it), and less lame humor, then I’m there!
I think they left the ending of the this one veryyyyy open for a sequel. Too many things went unresolved. Especially that final scene in the movie… so yeah. Definitely I want a sequel!
I enjoyed the first one and yes they left it wide open for a sequel. If they make another one I will definitely be there.
Bring back the ninja who was killed near the end. can’t believe they killed him off!
THanks for the spoiler warning there George Costanza..NOt all of us who frequent this site has seen the movie..
More quality entertainment comming soon,,,
GK333, ever watch “Seinfeld?”
Costanza is a bipolar mess with major social probs.
sorry greenknight. i realized it after i posted it. my bad dude.
Oh no…
I hope Joseph Gordon Levitt is going to play Cobra Commander again, he was pretty sweet
Please let the Mayans be right(crosses fingers, pulls page off calendar.)
Cobra Commander was not done right, The Baroness IS NOT American, Scarlett does not hook up with Ripcord, there were so many things wrong with the first GI Joe, it’s surprising that I liked it for what it was a solid action movie, but they need to make some corrections in the next movie, oh give General Hawk MORE TO DO.
