THIS CAME FROM HASBRO (right on their site)
This movie will be a modern telling of the “G.I. Joe vs. Cobra†storyline and its compelling characters that Hasbro created 25 years ago. The G.I. Joe team will not be based in Brussels. Instead, they will be based out of the “Pit†as they were throughout the 1980s comic book series. And, in keeping with the G.I. Joe vs. Cobra fantasy, the movie will feature characters and locations from around the world. Duke, the lead character and head of the G.I. Joe team, will embody the values of bravery and heroism that the first generation of G.I. Joe figures established. Duke is in - Ripcord is out - who knows who Marlon is playing? |

Hopefully not Stalker
Whoever he plays, I hope he's not there for comic relief. Ray Park as Snake Eyes: PERFECT Wayans as whoever: POO Sorry. Just can't stand the guy. Can't help it :p

Well, Variety could certainly be wrong BUT...
you don't just come up with the name "Ripcord". They got it from someone, somehow. Hopefully it's just a placeholder.

I have a feeling that this news is completely inaccurate. I'll believe Hasbro over Variety every time. If Hasbro cites Duke as the leader, I have no doubts that Duke will be the leader.
As for Wayans, I believe he'll be in the film somewhere. His name has been bandied about now on two different occasions, which leads me to think that he's in. For whatever reason, the filmmakers seem intent on hiring the goof for GI Joe. So, I'm not panicking over this "news". Rather, I'll sit back and wait for it to be debunked. And I do so hope that it'll be debunked.

i just got to work and logged on to IGN, to see this...
then i tried as hard as i could not to use my keyboard as EXCALIBUR and divide my monitor in two. WHISKEY. TANGO. FOX-TROT. no way in HELL this info is correct. if so? man this just lit my childhood on fire and bumblebee wont even lubricate on this to put it out. this will make GeeWunners look like girls scouts. as for the 3rd rock kid, i saw "brick" also and i was pleasantly surprised by his skill. however i cant see him playing duke. just too young to have that "battle-hardened mentality". and how stupid would it be if he was duke, and NOT the leader of the joes, but RIPCORD is? oh man... my head is spinning... if anyone i would have him pegged for either tunnel rat (NOT comic relief!) or maybe falcon? i hope this is just brussels v2 maybe the jugglers are behind this...

WHISKEY. TANGO. FOX-TROT. priceless. Anyways, here's Aintitcool's own version of the scoop!: "YO! Quint here. The news spread out like Skynet: Marlon "D&D" Wayans will be playing some dude called "Ripcord" in Paramount's big screen adaptation of the 80s beloved toon n' toyline, G.I.Joe. Not just that: apparently he'll be the team leader. OK. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... NOT SO! Variety got it all wrongo again. I was just over the phone with our source from the Paramount lot and while he did confirm that Wayans IS in the film, he will NOT -repeat- WILL NOT be playing no "Ripcord" dude, nor will he be the Joes' teamleader. Who is he playing then, you ask? You heard it here first: COBRA COMMANDER." Ain't it Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD and comic book news.
