Russ Sheath of Ain't It Cool News has an interview with John Chu and he settles the debate. Rex Lewis is still Cobra Commander.
RS: Can you shed some light on the much discussed ‘Cobra Commander Conundrum’ - which admittedly sounds like an episode of The Big Bang Theory? Is that Rex who end up wearing the Cobra Commander suit, in the movie? JC: I don’t know where all this crazy, speculative stuff came from. We were asked the question, Lorenzo [di Bonaventura, Producer) and I at Toy Fair... ‘Is that the same actor’? I was like... ‘No, its not the same actor’. ‘Is that Joseph Gordon Levitt?’ ‘No, it is not!’ But it is Rex! We are continuing that story, there is no other Cobra Commander. We can put that rumor to rest. I was waiting for this moment to finally clarify, I’m glad you asked that. It's official: Different actor, but same character.

Nice! while I'm not that big a fan of ROC, I'm glad they are attempting to bridge the gap between the 2 movies some.
I still miss scarlett though.

I'm glad for this.
I wouldn't have been heartbroken if they went the other way, but I think sticking with the Rex Lewis character is the best option of those speculated on. |

Well, that makes things less confusing, I suppose. Somehow I doubt his "real name" or history is even going to be referenced in the movie, though.
And if the death-rumors about Duke are true, that effectively cuts off that much-despised subplot (Rex/Duke/Anna). |

Well, when life gives you lemons...
I too am glad they are trying to bridge the gap between the movies. They were handed a difficult task.

Well, that's alright with me, but it's not as interesting as I had hoped it would be.

As long as we find out that Rex is a snake-man creature from an underground society I'm fine with it.
Also spoiler alert!

What's up with the bright blue? Makes it a little hard to read. You could just put the interview question and answer in italics.

I don't understand...was the last quote where Chu said they were different characters made up??
Quote:
I actually found Rex one of the better characters in RoC, by far. I actually liked him as The Doctor/Cobra Commander...it was just the fucking stupid wig/scuba gear/goldfish bowl bullshit that I hated. Now that he's wearing the old-school helmet I'm cool with this development.
