I hate ‘G I Joe: The Rise of Cobra’: Channing Tatum

“Look, I’ll be honest. I hate that movie. I hate that movie,” he said.

“I was pushed into doing that movie… (After) Coach Carter, they signed me for a three-picture deal… And as a young (actor), you’re like, ‘Oh my god, that sounds amazing, I’m doing that!’,” he said.

Having grown up watching the cartoon, Tatum actually loved G I Joe (the franchise, not the movie) — but he wanted to play Snake-Eyes.

But Snake-Eyes eventually went to actor Ray Park, who reprised the role in 2013’s “G.I. Joe: Retaliation”.

“The script wasn’t any good. I didn’t want to do something that I thought was 1) bad, and 2) I just didn’t know if I wanted to be G.I. Joe.”
