WHAT HAPPENED TO MOUSE?
I didn't see him get killed.
I think he's the corpse everyone else thinks is Duke. It's somewhat ambiguous, but I don't think the film-makers intended to write Duke out of the franchise entirely. His dog tags must have fell by Mouse's body.
But I suppose this all depends on whether or not Channing Tatum returns in the third film. Unless of course they reboot it instead. I know Channing has been openly critical of these films, but that kind of attitude hasn't stopped actors before. Hugo Weaving despised the TRANSFORMERS films, but he stuck around for three.
