Marlon officially states, "The movie is serious, action and some comedy - but not all comedy,"

Many fans had fear that due to Marlon Wayans involvement, the flick will just end up being a massive joke-fest, but Marlon has given his word that the movie will not be goofy, and if anyone knows goofy, it's a "Scary Movie" alumni.

Marlon goes on to say, "It is G.I. Joe. It's supposed to be badass action. So you commit to it - and I found the fun in being a badass, for once in my life." He also says that his character is no "joke" either, as a regular part of Ripcord's repertoire was jumping out of helicopters.

Marlon advised the films director, "Stephen Sommers, I will say to you: Please, next time, stuntman. A black dude who looks like me? He jumps out of the plane, not the actor. Shoot him, not me. Let’s make sure we bring a black dude to Prague next time."
