IGN: What about the controversial decision to make G.I. Joe a more international force rather than the "Real American Heroes"?
Beattie: Well, firstly there's a lot of real American heroes [in it]. It is primarily an American unit. It started as an American unit. It more came out of, again, the need to ground this world in reality. Well, what would happen if G.I. Joe really did exist? You'd want to create the absolute best fighting unit that could combat any form of terrorism anywhere in the world, well, you think about for five seconds and obviously we'd need help. We live in this very connected world and you need your allies. If there's anything we've learned in the last 10, 15 years it's that you need your allies. So I think to update G.I. Joe and bring it into this modern day, you've got to go, 'America can't do it alone nor should it try to do it alone.' It should be out there seeking help from allies because everyone's got a lot of great operatives and a lot of great contacts and a lot of great abilities. G.I. Joe would be so much stronger and more capable because of that, you know?
IGN: Scarlett's Canadian now. Breaker is French-Moroccan. Heavy Duty is English. You're Australian. So which Joe would you most like to change to be Australian?
Beattie: (laughs) The really most foul-mouthed one I could find. God, I don't know. Flint would be terribly great. Cool, brash.
Wasn't focusing too much on the movie to remember if they state her country of origin.
