A new trailer for director Jon Chu’s sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation has been released. As you’ll see, not much has changed other than the addition of more of Channing Tatum, which was one of the reasons for the film’s reshoots. The other reason was for a 3D post-conversion, but we won’t know how that worked out until the trailer plays in theaters. Ultimately, I can’t help but wonder if audiences will be scratching their heads as they ask, “Wasn’t this supposed to come out in last summer?” Paramount is tasked with selling the movie all over again, and I do not envy them.
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Adrianne Palicki, Walton Goggins, Ray Park, Byung-hun Lee, Elodie Yung, RZA, Ray Stevenson, and D.J. Cotrona. G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens in 3D on March 27, 2013. [Note: the trailer auto-plays so adjust your speakers accordingly]

“Wasn’t this supposed to come out in last summer?” Nice grammar Mr. Goldberg.
Fuck Lupe Fiasco.
Kill yourself.
^what he said.
Best thing about the trailer. His work on the New Moon soundtrack was the best thing about that movie too.
IT’S A CRAP!
dumb POS!
Another trailer where they give the ending away. Real Smart
I thought this came out already now I have to remind myself not to see it again.
Love the first movie, PLEASE more Channing Tatum and LESS Rocky! Where is Wayans, Sienna Miller, and Dennis Quaid?
It looks like the only person that signed on for the second movie is Channing Tatum & Jonathan Pryce! Too much visual effects, and not enough real actors.
