Joe having been hitting the net over the past several days. I’ve gathered them together along with some of the ones we’ve already seen and compiled a look at the cast as we know it now. Click thru to the sites that posted the pics for hi-res images.

Destro


IESB has an exclusive look at Chris Eccleston as James McCullen Destro XXIV. Not really much to look at. It would be cooler if the would have shown him with the mask.

 

Storm Shadow


LatinoReview has a high resolution pic of Byung-hun Lee as Storm Shadow. Not nearly as cool as Snake Eyes.

 

Breaker

Dark Horizons has a first look at Saïd Taghmaoui as Breaker, the team’s original communications officer who has a habit of chewing bubblegum in any situation.

 

General Hawk

Collider has a first look at Dennis Quaid, as General Hawk, the leader of the team.

 

Heavy Duty

ComingSoon has the first photo of former Lost star Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Heavy Duty, who serves as the G.I. Joe Team’s heavy ordnance specialist with a passion for classical guitars and Bach.

 

The Baroness

IGN has the only pic I’ve found of Sienna Miller as The Baroness. The Baroness serves as the COBRA Organization’s intelligence officer and lieutenant to Cobra Commander.

 

Duke

MTV gives us a first look at Channing Tatum as Duke, a First Sergeant and field commander who is second-in-command of the G.I. Joe Team after Hawk. I’m pretty sure this isn’t what Duke wore in the cartoon.

 

Ripcord

CHUD has the first pic of Marlon Wayans as Ripcord. Ripcord is a Sergeant and is an Airborne and demolition specialist of the G.I. Joe Team.

 

Snake Eyes

Pop Critics gave you a first look at Ray Park as Snake Eyes back in March. Snake Eyes is, of course, the coolest of all G.I. Joe characters.

 

Scarlett

Pop Critics also gave you a first look at Rachel Nichols as Scarlett. This might not be the costume she wore in the cartoon, but something tells me no one is going to mind.

 

G.I. Joe will be coming to theaters on August 7, 2009.

Joe" Cast http://popcritics.com/2008/01/07/marlon-wayans-and-joseph-gordon-levitt-join-gi-joe-cast http://popcritics.com/2008/01/07/marlon-wayans-and-joseph-gordon-levitt-join-gi-joe-cast#comments Mon, 07 Jan 2008 20:24:55 +0000 Jason http://www.popcritics.com/2008/01/marlon-wayans-and-joseph-gordon-levitt-join-gi-joe-cast/ Marlon Wayans joines G.I. Joe castVariety is reporting that Marlon Wayans has signed on to “G.I. Joe” to play Ripcord who will be a leader of his own military unit (and he’ll be black, I’m guessing…the original was white if I’m not mistaken). Marlon is the younger, kind of goofy Wayan brother that was in “Scary Movie” and “White Chicks.”

Also in talks (but not officially signed yet) is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Most people will remember him from the television show, “3rd Rock from the Sun,” but he has actually been working pretty hard building up an impressive indy acting reputation that includes “Brick” and “The Lookout.” There’s no word yet on what character he might be playing.

The two will be joining a growing cast that already includes Ray Park (Snake Eyes), Sienna Miller (The Baroness), Rachel Nichols (Shana ‘Scarlett’ O’Hara), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Heavy Duty), Saïd Taghmaoui (Breaker), and Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow).

The war-themed story is based on the popular Hasbro comic books, cartoons, and toys and is set 10 years in the future. Stuart Beattie wrote the screenplay, while Paul Lovett & David Elliot and Skip Woods contributed earlier drafts.

The Stephen Sommers directed film is set to start shooting next month in Los Angeles.

Paramount has already claimed the weeked of Aug. 7, 2009 for release.
