UPDATE: Our sources backed off on their casting notice. It appears that Dominic West is not in the running for the role. Guess we'll have to keep digging and/or have our sources killed. That's why it's called a rumor!
We've been experiencing some technical delays in the site and should be back up at full speed temporarily but as they say, the show must go on and that includes the reporting!
According to our sources, we hear the top choice for the heavy in Stephen Sommer’s big screen live-action adaptation of "G.I. Joe." - the DESTRO character is none other than Dominic West!
He was the baddie traitor in "300" and currently in the last season of The Wire!
Stay tuned as more news develops.
DESTRO is the faceless power behind Military Armaments Research System, the largest manufacturer of state-of-the-art weaponry. To DESTRO, war is man's most natural state: the fittest survive and the greatest technological advances are made. He maintains a luxurious lifestyle around the world. DESTRO provides high-tech arms to any side able to meet his price and will incite war where it does not exist. He dons his silver battle mask (a family tradition) and enters battle himself, either with COBRA Command (DESTRO is their major weapons supplier) or against them if it's better for business.
DESTRO respects the G.I. JOE team for their combat skills and expertise, but abhors them for wasting such skills to maintain peace. He's totally dedicated to seeing them undermined, subverted, or destroyed!
