I read the Destro casting earlier today. Don't know the guy, appears to be Scottish. Can't really criticise someone I've not seen. On the plus side, casting an unknown means they're likely to keep the mask on instead of having to get the star's face on screen all the time (I'm looking at you, Tobey McGuire).
What I read at the same time that I didn't know before -- Dennis Quaid is Hawk, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who I'd seen mentioned in connection with Cobra Commander and Zartan) is apparently Rex. Oh. Yay. I thought we were rid of that character... It's ridiculous, there's SO MANY existing Joes and they could portray any of them as a rookie-type (I mean, if Wayans is Ripcord...) but no, the movie-makers know better and have to cock their leg and mark their territory by making up their own guy and naming him after the pet dog (Indiana works, but Rex...?).
Saddest thing? No Cobra Commander.
Here's where I read it, and there's a pic of the Destro actor:
