9. The President (Jonathan Pryce) in G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)
Jonathan Pryce returns as the unnamed Commander-in-Chief from 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra for the Jon M. Chu-directed sequel Retaliation (2013). Though Pryce has much more to do in Retaliation—with not one but two standout scenes, telling off world leaders at a G8 Summit in one and disavowing the G.I. Joes in another—he’s actually not the president at all. He’s Zartan in disguise, continuing a plot thread left at the end of Rise of Cobra. But as far as the world of G.I. Joe is concerned, their president has suddenly turned into a stone-cold badass.
