Mark Wahlberg To Star in "GI Joe" Film

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura says he will start working on a "GI Joe" movie and he wants Mark Wahlberg to play Duke. IESB followed up with Wahlberg who basically confirmed himself playing Duke and working with di Bonaventura again. "You know what, I'll do whatever Lorenzo wants me to do; it really depends on the script, obviously, but it's a cool idea.

The movie is said to be set before the rise of the COBRA organization, the film will show how the man who the world will one day call Cobra Commander created his terrorist organization and honed it into a worldwide threat. Other COBRA characters, such as Destro and Stormshadow, are being planned to be included in the film. As for who is on the JOE team, look for appearances by the team's main players, such as Duke, Hawk and Snake Eyes.
