Dust off your old Kingpin/Michael Clarke Duncan soapboxes; a black man has been signed to play a white character in G.I. Joe. Marlon Wayans is now on board as Ripcord who, if you had his file card handy, you’d recall is just Wallace Weems when he’s in the shower. That’s a DC Comics reject name … Continue reading →
