It's on IMDB with the word rumored behind it.

It may be that he's just providing the voice. Or he may not be involved at all. Either way, we'll see.

I dunno why they'd pay any real actor to wear the costume - voice over is probably cheaper. Getting a voice over is the route I expected they'd take all along.

The reason the movie was delayed for release and Mr. Tahir possibly taking the role from JGL as Cobra Commander is as goes, and this info comes from Faran himself:
The movie in its original form was going to tank for several reasons. Most notably, the sequel did not originally cast Channing Tatum as he dies in the first film. CT did not have the blockbuster draw that he does now and they wanted a way to rework him into the script so the film could make money. Secondly, it was decided that Gordon-Levitt did not have the umph they needed/wanted in Cobra Commander to make the role compelling. Desiring a more masculine and villainous portrayal, they decided to recast the role and re-shoot those scenes as well as others to incorporate Channing Tatum. Faran Tahir has been listed as "Uncomfirmed" on IMDB because it was between he and another actor. What is interesting is that in the beginning of this re-shoot planning, Faran Tahir only had "Cobra Commander (Unconfirmed)" on his IMDB profile as the decision was still to be made as to whether he or another would get the role. Now that new advertisements have been made regarding the release of the film, finally, he is listed under the IMDB page for "G.I. Joe: Retaliation", where he was not previously listed, leading me to surmise that he actually did get the part. But, whatever...you won't see his face in the movie...or will you? |

It's not Faran Tahir.
CC is a guy named Luke Bracey with David Baker (I believe) providing the voice.
