G.I. Joe Members Now Overlap with Wu-Tang Clan

Adding to a cast that already has The Rock as Roadblock, Elodie Yung as Ninjababe, and Channing Tatum returning as Duke, Jon M. Chu's G.I. Joe sequel now has Bobby Digital and D.J. Cotrona on the team, as well.

The RZA will be playing Blind Master, a character who--as you probably guessed--is a blind martial arts expert, which is pretty much exactly the role you'd expect RZA to take if he or Quentin Tarantino were given their druthers. According to the G.I. Joe Wiki, BM (Blind Master) is only ever referred to once in the animated series, and is never actually shown, so you're forgiven for not remembering this guy. Just keep in mind: now he's apparently important enough to depict as The RZA.

Cotrona--whose role in Dear John already gives him experience playing an army guy second fiddle to Channing Tatum--will play Flint, who everyone who watched G.I. Joe cartoons should remember as the guy with the beret. But wasn't Dennis Quaid already the guy with the beret in the last G.I. Joe movie, you ask? Yes, he was, but that was a different guy who also sometimes wears a beret. Jesus, man, wise up.
