Jon M. Chu`s sequel to the 2009 feature will see the G.I. Joe Team coming into a conflict with Zartan, Storm Shadow and Firefly all serving under the newly released Cobra Commander. Zartan (who is last seen in disguise as the President of the United States) manipulates the U.S. Government and frames all G.I. Joe operatives as traitors, and wipes most of them out in a sneak attack. Zartan and the Commander now have all the world leaders under Cobra`s control, with warheads headed towards innocent populaces. Badly beaten, outnumbered and outgunned, the Joes make a desperate plan to expose the truth, and take back the world from Cobra.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens on June 28th, 2012.
