Marlon Wayans in G.I. Joe?
Ok, this is starting to get ridiculous. When news of a live action G.I. Joe movie broke, information was slim. Then we got a director (Stephen Sommers) and a budget, then a story, and then one or two cast members. Now it seems like everyday a new actor is being added to the mix (which I guess makes sense considering there are like a trillion different characters). The newest to be added? Marlon Wayans.
Blackfilm reports that Marlon Wayans has been added as Heavy Duty, an aspiring chef who compensates for his inability to be in the kitchen by knowing just about everything there is to know about heavy weapons systems. I'm not quite sure a Wayans brother (let alone Marlon) is the way to go with this character, because he's basically going to have to live in the gym for a while. But what do I know.
And of course all I can think of is "Who wants a body massage?" from the PSA spoof.
Update: IESB is reporting that It has been confirmed that this role has gone to Akinnuoye-Agbaje (The Bourne Identity, Get Rich or Die Tryin'). I'd say this is good news, because I don't really think I could take the same guy that played the lead in Little Man seriously as Heavy Duty.
