\"G.I.<\/p>\n

Adrianne Palicki<\/strong>, the former Friday Night Lights<\/em> cast member and star of the preemptively-axed NBC revival of Wonder Woman<\/em> has joined the GI Joe sequel to play the Joe team’s sexy covert-ops specialist, Lady Jaye<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Palicki will join the growing cast for the Jon Chu-directed sequel to 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra<\/em>, among new cast members like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who will be playing the machine gun-toting, gumbo-cooking Roadblock, and rapper The RZA for a still-unspecified role. However, it is with D.J. Cotrona, who will be playing Flint, which Palicki will likely be having the most interaction, since their characters are known to be romantically-linked in just about every version of the G.I. Joe canon.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

As of now, star, Channing Tatum is locked to return as Duke. Ray Park’s Snake Eyes, and Byung Hun-Lee’s Storm Shadow are back, as well. Yet, the franchise has had to overcome a lukewarm reception, “okay” box-office receipts, some Razzie<\/em> nominations (with a “win” for Sienna Miller), and a large degree of disappointment from the fanbase.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the sequel’s selection of director, Jon Chu who’s best known for the Step Up<\/em> sequels and teen idol documentary, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never<\/em> has also left naysayers with more ammunition. Yet, the worst publicity hit would be a critical exodus, which saw director, Stephen Sommers and stars, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Sienna Miller bow out. (Thus, Cobra Commander and Baroness will need to be recast.)<\/p>\n

However, despite the fact that this franchise hit more than its share of rough patches, it seems to fight on. The script by Zombieland<\/em> scribes, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick will likely avoid the pitfalls of Rise of Cobra<\/em>. Plus, with rumblings that Bruce Willis may join the cast as Joe Colton, the black-bearded, titular character for the original G.I. Joe toy line, things may indeed be looking up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
