So far it would seem that either through official or leaked information we have the following characters cast:
Duke Scarlett Snake Eyes Storm Shadow Heavy Duty Ripcord Cobra Commander Baroness Zartan General Hawk Breaker Destro You have to wonder just how many characters we will get since there has to be a budget cut off at some point. Who would you consider to be essential at this point (and please don't start popping off with anyone even remotely obscure - only the absolutely essential core characters)? Who are the remaining fixture characters that would be sorely missed if they weren't cast? Who should wait (at least) until the sequel? Last edited by thunderdan19; 01-29-2008 at 02:20 PM.. |

Not just a budget cutoff, but how many characters (outside of cameos) can you put in a screenplay and still be able to follow?

Other than Destro I don't think there are any necessarily essential characters to be cast. On the Joe side, you've got a 6 person field team plus their commander; maybe we'll see some others show up in small supporting roles, but I think that's the basis of the Joe team. We know Destro will be in the flick (and announced soon, according to IESB.net) but other than that, we don't. So I'd think maybe this is the core cast, plus Destro.

Looks like so far we've got 7 Joes and 5 Cobra. I think Cobra could use 1 more. I'd like to see Mj. Bludd personally. He could fill in the role of a field commander for the Cobra forces. I think Gary Oldman would be fantastic in the role.
