While we have confirmed that Wahlberg has talked with producer di Bonaventura about the role of Duke, we don’t know how much, if any, talking has taken place with Statham.
ImageOne thing we can say for certain, the Skip Woods script was written with Wahlberg and Statham specifically in mind and they are the first choice for Duke and Action Man.
Our source has also reconfirmed that elements of both scripts are being used for the new potential final script. The Skip Wood’s origins aspects will be used alongside the Elliott/Lovett character storylines.
The producers are keen on keeping the Action Man character in the film to make marketing of the film easier abroad including using that name for international territories to avoid any potential negative reactions that some parts of the world may have with the name GI Joe.
The new GI Joe/Action Man team is expected to be made up of various individuals from around the world and will not be exclusively American or British. The characters will still be based from the original cartoons, toys and comics but with a globe-trotting flavor.

The world has become a pink-pajama wearing, lollipop, coward ass version of the one I grew up in! I'm tired of everyone beiong "afraid" of hurting someone's feelings or offending some nameless group of people. I've got a newsfash for everyone, being offended is a "CHOICE!", and as long as you cater to those who would choose to be offended by any and everything than they will watch you whittle yourself away and laugh!! This all started back in 2001 when they changed the back of the figure two-packs to "EVIL ORGANIZATION" instead of "TERRORIST ORG." simply because they didn't.........want........to........offend....... ....TERRORISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you f**king kidding me!!!!!
This town needs an enema!!

Flint, Duke, Scarlett, GungHo, Roadblack MUST be American. There can be no straying from that. | |
