Here's the latest crazy rumor: https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/...joe-movie/amp/
Still, nice to see big names being mentioned. And it's not far fetched given that they got Henry Golding. |

Bit unlikely. Hasbro held a conference calla couple of weeks back and I attended it. Brian Goldner specifically mentioned that all pre-prod and production work for live action projects are on hold until November.
Discussion might be happening but if Hasbro's comment is true, nothing's going on so far. Not even discussions. |

John Cena as Duke? Sure. Tom Holland as anybody? Can’t see it.

Tom Holland is good in the new Netflix film, The Devil All the Time. Plays a bit of a scrappy kid. He could be fine as a Joe. Maybe a tech based one, like Breaker or Mainframe.
Honestly, I don't really like John Cena as an actor. Haven't seen him in too much though. He seems a bit hammy. If you're going to make GI Joe campy like the original cartoon, fine. Otherwise, I'm not sold on his dramatic chops. I'm not much of a fan of the Rock as an actor either. Oddly, I think he's better in goofy/funny roles than in tough guy action roles. |

Cena is just trolling the rumor on instagram now.

Weirdly, for a week, I'd been misreading this thread title as Tom "Hardy", not "Holland". (Which would have made a lot more sense, actually, imo.)
Now, let me try to word this as carefully as possible so as not to upset anyone ... Duke being played by John Cena perfectly represents everything I wouldn't want a G.I. Joe movie to be. For many people, the idea of portraying Duke as a hero is somewhat problematic to begin with: "true believer", friendly face of colonization, casual racist/sexist. So the role requires an actor capable of capturing that complexity, not a grotesque buffoon. (No offense to Mr. Cena.) Also he seems too old to play active military. As far as a dream cast, personally I'd prefer primarily unknowns, as opposed to awkwardly shoehorning "big names" into roles heavily modified/distorted to suit them. Fitting the actor to the character, not the other way around. Having said that, for Lady Jaye, maybe Mary Elizabeth Winstead ("10 Cloverfield Lane", 3rd season of "Fargo") might be really good. Lizzy Caplan ("Castle Rock", "Masters of Sex") comes to mind as well. And I could definitely see John David Washington ("BlacKkKlansman") as Stalker. That would be the sorta direction I would go.

Hasbro is going to go with relative unknowns with the next GI Joe film. If you look at the cast of Snake Eyes, the ONLY one with any sort of significant mainstream exposure is Samara Weaving, and even she is still well within the "up and coming" level.
Just as Marvel largely did with its earlier Marvel films, they are probably going to circle low level or unknown actors that they can sign multi-film deals relatively cheaply. Established actors like Cena and Holland are not in that category.
