David Murray Is Destro in G.I. Joe!

Source:  IESB.net
David Murray as Destro
G.I. Joe has another villain in David Murray.

IESB.net is reporting that David Murray has been cast in Stephen Sommers' G.I. Joe.

The chrome-domed Destro was a secondary villain in the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero series, however, Murray's character will be the primary baddie in this film.

Murray is most noted for his theater work, but he was recently seen on the big screen in a minor role as "Jumpy Thug" in Batman Begins. He joins the cast alongside Dennis Quaid (Hawk), Arnold Vosloo (Zartan), Channing Tatum (Duke), Sienna Miller (The Baroness), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), Rachel Nichols (Scarlett), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Heavy Duty), Said Taghmaoui (Breaker), Marlon Wayans (Ripcord), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Rex) and Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow).

G.I. Joe is set for an August 7, 2009 release.

think in Batman Begins..."where are you!?" "here!" and Batman snatched him. Thats who he is. I think he will do a good job. He is good in theater and did a good job with his expressions and movements in Batman Begins.

Again who the hell is David Murray!! What is going on with all these C list actors!!!!????

You know who might have made a good Destro... Tony Todd from the "Candyman" films!! In a strange way he resembles Destro!. I could be wrong!!?

Does anyone other then me find it a little sad that GI Joe is no longer the "American" hero? Is American culture so offensive that we need to change these things to make an international or Democratic buck???

brew, the story says that Destro will be the main villain here, so I'd assume that Cobra Commander won't be in this one. Maybe they're saving him for the sequel? Maybe this is before Cobra's reign, or something?
