Cobra Commander returns in "", played by Australian actor Luke Bracey and voiced by Robert Baker. Director Jon Chu suggested in a March 2012 interview that this Cobra Commander is not the same character played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in "The Rise of Cobra", but in May 2012 confirmed that the Cobra Commander of "Retaliation" is indeed still Rex Lewis. He features an altered appearance from the first film, more similar to his helmeted look from the "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero" cartoon.
