Its been confirmed that actor Lee Byung Hun will return to Hollywood for the blockbuster sequel, G.I. Joe.

On June 13th, Hollywood Report revealed that excluding Channing Tatum, Ray Park, and Lee Byung Hun, the cast of the first movie has been overhauled.

Actress Elodie Yung is currently in talks of joining the line-up.

Although Lee Byung Huns character, Storm Shadow, was presumably dead in the first movie, producers have revealed that he will be returning with a new, more powerful image.

Lee Byung Hun will be leaving for the States this month to begin his preparations for filming, which is scheduled for late July or early August.

I'd always wanted to see him in a Hollywood movie, but G.I. Joe was certainly not worthy. Not even his presence allowed me to derive any enjoyment from that film. He hardly had any lines besides junk like "now you will die". If you weren't familiar with him, you'd probably assume he didn't know how to speak English.
