TV's Wonder Woman Joins 'G.I. Joe'

Despite earlier this year received much pointing and scornful laughter when she showed up to the Internet wearing this ridiculous Wonder Woman outfit, Adrianne Palicki seemingly remains open to the idea of more fanboy criticism/reluctant masturbation, as she'll reportedly be attempting to portray a geek-favorite character again. According to Deadline, the Friday Night Lights star has signed to play G.I. Joe covert operations specialist Lady Jaye, said to be the film's female lead opposite Channing Tatum's Duke.

Additionally, Bruce Willis might be in this goddammer, too. With director Jon M. Chu basically starting over with the cast (save for Tatum) and replacing them with analogs, it sounds like Willis might take over the elder role once filled by Dennis Quaid, the rumor being he could be playing the team's eponym, (G.I.) Joe Colton. His involvement is still pretty questionable, though, so for now let's just count on Palicki once again embodying a fan-fetishized character. And on that note, here's a montage of Lady Jaye clips that was assembled by a terrifying man who sure likes watching ladies get knocked out:
