It would seem that the original news about the 9 month delay for the release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation wasn't just to gain more money internationally by post-converting the movie to 3D but also due to the fact that initial test screenings suffered major complaints due to the early death of one of the first movies' main characters - Channing Tatum's 'Duke'...
Confirmation hit this week that Duke dies in the early ambush seen in the trailer and due to this, and the fact that Duke and Roadblock's relationship and back story as 'buddies' hasn't been fleshed out at all, some rewriting and re-shooting will have to be done.
So it's not all about the action! Why they had to kill Duke off I don't know, just have him M.I.A and pop up a the end or something!
