Ripcord? Wouldn't Marlon be more suited for a G.I. Joe character like Stalker? Anyway, hope they pick some hot, kick-ass chicks for the roles of Scarlet & Lady Jay. Hope we get to see some Dreadnoks. Yo Joe!

I hope Joseph Gordon Levitt is involved!! But Marlon Wayans, to me, it could work, bujt I am not a huge fan of Marlon for this role, I just hope he's not too loud and goofy.

Never in my life would I have thought of Marlon Wayans to be in this movie. I don't know how he landed the job. His character must be the comic relief guy. I'll have to see.
