Today’s
G.I. Joe First Look is the last one for a while, or until Paramount decides to let more character photos leak out from the set of the live action
G.I. Joe movie. First up is Channing Tatum as Conrad S. Hauser, codename: Duke. Duke is one of G.I. Joe’s most popular members and is the team’s field commander. To me Duke will always be G.I. Joe’s leader, even if Hawk is technically the elite counter-terrorist team’s commanding officer. While most remember Duke in his original costume of dark olive pants and tan button down shirt, the movie’s costume more closely resembles Duke’s uniform in the current
G.I. Joe comic book series produced by
Devil’s Due.
Last, but not least, comes Marlon Wayans as Wallace A. Weems, codename: Ripcoard. To be honest I don’t know much about Ripcoard other than he is “a HALO jumper, which stands for High Altitude Low Opening. In order to avoid detection, a HALO jumper jumps from very high altitudes, drops for thousands of feet, and then opens his chute at the last second, just enough to break the fall.” (
