Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Black Panther?

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost, G.I. Joe) during a Comic-Con red carpet told MTV News that he's been talking to Marvel about bringing the African warrior-king known as The Black Panther to the big screen.

"We're talking to Marvel about 'Black Panther,'" Akinnuoye-Agbaje told MTV News. "This is the first round, so you know, hopefully they'll look at 'G.I. Joe' and see the potential. But it's about time we have a black superhero, isn't it?"

Akinnuoye-Agbaje said his hopes were high for the film, and the conditions were never better for it to get the green light.

"He's from a fictional village in Africa and the timing is so right for that kind of character to come through," he said. "And while I'm in my prime, this is the time. We've got [U.S. President Barack] Obama, now we need something on screen to represent, so... 'Panther,' man."

Do you think he would make a good Black Panther?

G.I. Joe - What will Destro's Mask really look like

Here is an almost proper look at what Destro (Christopher Eccleston) will look like once he masks up in G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra.

I posted some early CGI work on the mask ages ago but this seems a little more updated and looks very nice indeed. Just have to wait and see what it looks like in the film now.

It is the art work from the action figure that UGO managed to get hold of.

Very shiny!

G.I. Joe - Japanese trailer gives our first look at The Doctor a.k.a. Cobra Commander

The Doctor is played by Joseph Gordon Levitt. You can see him at the 0:08 mark in the trailer chatting to Destro (Christopher Eccleston). Both are pre-iconic mask, although the Doctor has that weird breath mask thing.

The whole thing is looking very sci-fi and I reckon kids will love it. What do you think of the new trailer?

Mighty Muggs - Wolverine, Hellboy, Predator, Batman, Spawn

The always excellent ToysREvil had these photos of some custom painted Mighty Muggs. They were spotted at the 8th Philippine Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention 2009 and are by Likhang Pinoy Customs. I am not sure if the G.I. Joe ones are custom jobs with specially made boxes or whether they are part of the Muggs range.
I think the Hellboy one below is my favourite.

The reason why G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is going to suck

It looks as if behind the scenes of the new G.I. Joe film has been an even bigger battlescene than any shown in the film. It appears that the director, Stephen Sommers was taken off the film once it was completed.

Jeffrey Wells' source says that Sommers "was given total freedom but he melted down and has made the biggest bomb in many a moon. Paramount production chief Brad Weston is looking to bail and work for Peter Chernin with Star Trek as his coda because G.I. Joe will decimate the Paramount team and lead to many, many scapegoats."

Someone called End Times broke the full news on the Don Murphy message board:

"After a test screening [of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra] in which the film got the lowest test score ever from an audience in the history of Paramount, the executive who pushed for the movie -- Brad Weston -- had Stephen Sommers, the superhack director of the film, fired. Removed. Locked out of the editing room." Wells comment: How does this guy know what Paramount's test-scoring history is? Does he have all the stats? If so, how did he get them?

"Stuart Baird, a renowned fixer editor, was brought it to try to see if G.I. Joe could be made releasable. Meanwhile producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, whose turkey Imagine That (also championed by Weston) explodes this weekend as the new bomb in theatres, was told his services were no longer needed on the film either." Wells comment: Someone needs to call around and verify and round this out.

"Sommers was then forced by his William Morris agents to pretend that he was working on Tarzan over at Warner Brothers, doing design work, even though that film doesn't even have a good script yet. When word of the firing started to be whispered about in Hollywood, Sommers was summoned back to the editing room but merely to save appearances. Baird is still re-editing the movie with studio input."

Heads are definitely going to roll on this one and it does explain why everything looks so off with the film - Accelerator suits anyone? There is quite a bit of information in all of this and I do think there could well be more than a grain of truth to the whole thing.
