I may be setting myself up for some ridicule here but I am a huge G.I.Joe fan. I grew up collecting the stuff (the little ones, not the big action figures). This was my generation of toys. I’m almost ashamed to admit it now, but I ditched Star Wars figures for G.I.Joe because they could bend their elbows and knees and of course the kung-fu battle grip!
I don’t know how many thousands of dollars I spent over the years on this stuff, but the good news is I’ve still got it all.
With that background, you can now understand why I’m excited to hear about more news of a live-action G.I.Joe movie.
I don’t know who Channing Tatum is, but it looks like he’ll be playing Duke. Here are my more ecstatic choices for casting though that seemed to be sealed and delivered.

Ray Park as Snake-Eyes.
You’ll never actually see his face in the movie, which may be the reason you don’t recognize him, but this is PERFECT. Maybe you’re familiar with his other work as Darth Maul or Toad in X-Men. |

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Heavy Duty. Straight from LOST. I think this was a great casting too. I think maybe someone better could have been Michael Duncan Clark, a.k.a. Kingpin from Daredevil. |
|
Rachel Nichols as Scarlett O’Hara.
Yeah! The red hair and green dress nail it! |
|
Marlon Wayans as Ripcord. I’m guessing some comic relief there. I’d have to go check out my bio-card for Ripcord to confirm this as a good casting fit. |
|
Sienna Miller as the Baroness. I think someone like Elizabeth Hurley would be better don’t you? |
I can’t wait to see some casting in costume photos when they’re available.
