First look ::: Marlon Wayans as Rip Cord in " G.I. Joe "

Now many may not be able to take the "White Chicks" actor serious for the body of work he has done. However falling into the trap of underestimating him is what the studios are banking on. In many cases Marlon Wayans has proven to be the most talented of the brothers, and has the most range. Do not forget his portrayal in "Requiem for a dream" in which he showed dramatic range and true character mix, that only the pros can pull off.

With the film dropping in August 2009, Marlon Wayans has plenty of time to get it going in the right direction, and bringing the action to the real live version of Ripcord. We all know that Ripcord was the comic relief however this is a fictional army movie, so I am sure the characters have to bring the balance of reality to make this a franchise worth watching.
