Check out these movie posters for this summer’s G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra…

Duke

Scarlett

Snake Eyes

Rip Cord

Baroness

Storm Shadow

The Baroness’ sunglasses look really fake, as though they were added on, and it looks as though Duke’s sporting some facial hair?

I’m still not a big fan of the all-black look either. 

However, I do have to admit that Snake Eyes continues to look spot on, and Storm Shadow looks pretty awesome as well.

Thoughts?

Not bad actually. 

Pretty cool pic.  Cool pose.  Crossbow.  Nice, form-fitting costume.

Now that she’s got the red hair, I’m having a much easier time picturing actress Rachel Nichols in the role of Scarlett. 

It’s hard to tell since Nichols is facing off to the side, but the costume she’s wearing seems fairly close to the traditional, iconic look of the popular female Joe character pictured below:

… well, except for the color scheme. 

Admittedly, the orange and purple-ish hues shown in the pic above might not work terribly well, or even at all, in this slightly more realistic, live-action take on the character but having seen a pic of fellow Joe team member Snake Eyes in full costume earlier (Here’s a link.  And another one.), I’m a bit concerned that the Joes might all end up looking vaguely the same.  You know, all dressed in black, X-Men-movie-like costumes.

I suppose we’ll have to wait and see as more pics become available…
