The G.I. JOE mythology runs deep and has a pantheon of characters to draw from, each with their own back-story, nuances and characteristics. When approaching the sequel, the filmmakers wanted to build on the best elements and storylines from the first film and carry those through to the second installment while simultaneously creating a new identity and feel. This offered the opportunity to introduce new characters from the mythology to the franchise.

Korean Superstar Byung-hun Lee reprises role of Storm Shadow in G.I. JOE 2: RETALIATION

POTATO ON THE GO BULLETIN (Movie):

Okay, I am a G.I. Joe Kid (80's to be exact) but I'm not ashamed to admit it.  :)  I used to have an army of G.I. Joe action figures but what's left with me now are a few units, one of which is one of my most favorite characters, who is at the other side of the fence, Storm Shadow of COBRA! :)  G.I. JOE won't be the same with his character and I just knew, that he will be back in the movie version's sequel.

And indeed, I'm right.  He's back!  Korean superstar Byung-hun Lee, who reprises his role of STORM SHADOW, was excited by the possibility to explore the more internal side of the character. “If I had just a lot of sword fights and kicks in the first movie, this time my character (Storm Shadow) is seen more up close. It has a dramatic aspect that shows his history, inner conflicts. I loved how much of my acting I could show this time around... but I still think I could have been much more competent in a Korean film.
