This is old news, but ever since I saw the picture of Marlon Wayans (yea, that Wayans brother) as 'Ripcord' in "G.I. Joe" I had to laugh at the idea of the comedian trying 'to do this action thing and be funny and cool too.' Meaning he gets to crack tiny quips in tense action scenes and also look really cool jumping away from explosions. Since when were comedians allowed to fill the action star void? Martin Lawrence does it well in the "Bad Boys" movies, but Marlon Wayans? "LOC DOG" from 'Dont Be a Menace?' The midget from "Little Man?"

I could almost see Marlon reading the script and signing up for a gym membership at the same time. "Gotta pump up for this role, Marlon! Gotta look like an A-C-T-I-O-N hero!" Maybe this role will be a launchpad for him to star in the long delayed "Masters of the Universe" remake. Because when I think blonde-haired blue-eyed muscle man, there's no one else that can pull it off besides Marlon Wayans. Don't believe me? Look at the pics below:
