Happy Independence Day, Guest!
He must not appear. This, I command!![]()
Keep the same cast, bring back everyone, including Storm Shadow. Add Flint and Lady Jaye to the Joes. Give Shipwreck and Snow Job cameo appearances. I suppose Stalker could show up, but in what capacity I do not know.
Mindbender would have a larger role, bring in Tomax and Xamot, and probably Major Bludd. I can see COBRA recruiting as they seek revenge/world domination.
This isn't going to be a franchise about character development, so it might as well be chock full of characters.
