More sign up to G.I. JOE!

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

The cast for G.I. JOE is quickly filling as we approach the Christmas and New Year break for the movie industry. Confirmation has come through from The Hollywood Reporter on yesterday's story that Rachel Nichols would be Scarlett in the big budget feature and word has come through on two more names that have joined the cast. First up is former LOST actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (who was in Sommers' THE MUMMY RETURNS) will play the ordnance expert Heavy Duty...

Said Taghmaoui (THE KITE RUNNER, HIDALGO) has been cast as Breaker, the team's comms specialist...

And this is how G.I. JOE is shaping up at this point...

Sam Worthington as Duke (on the condition that AVATAR is not further delayed for filming). Sienna Miller as Baroness. Ray Park as Snake-Eyes. Byun-Hun Lee as Storm Shadow. Rachel Nichols as Scarlett. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Heavy Duty. Said Taghmaoui as Beaker.

Thoughts on the cast? Are these the guys you were hoping for is the cast putting doubts in your mind of this movie's direction? I love the International feel and just the huge variety of culture in this cast and I'm just really hoping Stephen Sommers knows what he is doing here because I'm not sure I could sit through another summer disaster like TRANSFORMERS. I'm kinda drained from these summer let-downs. For those in the know, how many more members can we expect here?
