From Iwatchstuff, "Earlier this week, it was revealed that a G.I. Joe movie was in the works, with Mark Wahlberg potentially starring. My hopes weren't high for the film, as it is based on military action figures, but after this summary of the plot provided by producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, those hopes are completely shot."Action Man is the equivalent of G.I. Joe internationally pretty much. It's a different character, but pretty much the same idea and his name is Alex Mann. So we're creating a buddy movie between Duke and Alex. That's what we're doing."
So, essentially he's taking two completely unrelated characters and teaming them up for no other reason than that they're both army guy toys. I was about to point out how stupid that is, comparing it to other infeasible team-ups I'd make up, but then I remembered Alien versus Predator, Freddy versus Jason, Batman versus Superman, and all the other team-ups done just because the characters were vaguely similar. So maybe this isn't as incredibly stupid and out there as I thought. It's just standardly stupid.
Is anyone else thinking Jackie Chan as G.I. Joe, Chris Tucker as Action Man? I smell money ($$$)!"

Yeah, Marc doesn't care who plays Duke, as long as he gets to play Action Man so he can be Duke's buddy. Or is that "buddy?"
That's a pretty weird move to combine two toy realms like that. It smacks of cooler things, like Toy Story, or the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen's* conceit that all the 19th century literary characters lived in the same universe.
*The comic book, not the movie. I know no movie (actually I do, which makes me have to spit).
laugh while you can, monkey boy. when cobra sends all its field agents to berkeley and your collection of lego dudes gets melted in the assault, who are you going to come crying to? that's right: big D.
pussy.
This is turning into "Li'l Horrorthon"
Wow, I knew I'mnotMarc had a man-crush on Duke but I didn't know it was so severe. Whole fantasies about being saved from a COBRA attack on his real-life locale have been kicking around in his head.
Thanks for leaving out the part where Duke swings through your living room window on a cable and opens up Cobra jugular all over the shag carpet, right before tossing you the bloody crossbow and announcing you're the new Scarlet.
