Yesterday, the marketing team behind "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" synchronized their watches and unveiled eight character posters for the upcoming sequel on film sites around the world, making sure every territory got a taste of the upcoming Mattel movie. And it seems that "Magic Mike" won't be the only movie this summer offering hunky slabs of man meat.

Channing Tatum (Duke Hauser) gets his own poster even though it's widely expected that his role will be minimal, but hey, he looks good on a one sheet. Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson (Roadblock), Bruce Wllis (Joe Colton) and Byung Hun-lee (Storm Shadow) give ladies a reason to make a pact to see this with their boyfriends if they'll go with them to "What To Expect When You're Expecting." That's how the game works. As for the rest we get Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, Jinx and Lady Jaye as well and all we need now is a Command Center play set to put them all in.

"G.I. Joe: Retaliation" opens on June 29th. [SlashFilm/IGN/Film Starts/Cloneweb/JoBlo/Collider/ComingSoon/Yahoo]

Get the stars' names right: it's Byung-Hun Lee or Lee Byung-Hun. Lee is his family name (last name) and Byung-Hun is his given name(s). He is a major international superstar in Asia.

Didn't do a bad job?!? Channing Tatum is one of the many, many things that were wrong with the first one. If they kill him off early on this one it will already be an infinitely better movie.

Wow. They learned. Looks like they re-designed Snake Eyes. They took out his lips. Wonderful. Now this looks like Snake Eyes. Very improved design.

Isn't Duke the main character in the original GI Joe cartoons? He defintely was in the last movie. How do you go from main character to minimal role. I didn't think he did a bad job.

We're not sure how big Duke's role is. A lot of people assume he's dies because of some confusion over the original trailer. Possible his role is smaller than in RISE OF COBRA, but it's possible he goes undercover to infiltrate the White House, while the audience only thinks he's dead. I think that was be awesome.

Duke's role is basically a cameo in this one since President Zartan wipes out all the Joes expect Snake-Eyes from the first movie.
