G.I JOE casting news

With the recent casting reports that Latino Review dished on the film version on G.I JOE, naming Rachel Nichols (TVs “Alias”) and Byung-hun Lee as Scarlett and Storm Shadow respectively, blackfilm.com received a strong tip that Marlon Wayans is up for the role of the African American character in the film - Lamant Morris a.k.a Heavy Duty.

A qualified expert with all known heavy infantry weapons systems, HEAVY DUTY is also an aspiring chef. Unfortunately, his culinary attempts meet heavy resistance from the rest of the team who remember with fondness the mess hall masterpieces created by his culinary predecessor, ROADBLOCK. The biggest and strongest member of the G. I. JOE team, HEAVY DUTY is the main source of covering fire on the ground when the team is in assault mode. Even under the worst of conditions, every member of the G. I. JOE team knows that HEAVY DUTY will be there to back them up and that he is prepared to do his job and keep on doing it.


"The G. I. JOE team doesn't just fight. We take care of each other. That's what it's all about, isn't it?"


If you go by this info, then you must be thinking, 'WTF? Marlon Wayans?' Yes, even we questioned this, but our source is stronger than oak so we trust it. If he is cast in the film, we hope to see him in the gym pumping iron.
