Speaking with I Am Rogue while promoting Django Unchained, actor Walton Goggins talks about his role in Paramount's upcoming 3D sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation. He plays 'Warden Nigel James' in the Jon Chu-directed action film, and when asked what we can expect from the role, Goggins says his character will be "funny". He also reveals some new details on the role, confirming that he will be one of the film's comic reliefs and that he has seen the movie. "I'm one of the comic reliefs, yeah, absolutely. He's got some really good one-liners and we were able to go off script a little bit and improvise some stuff with director Jon Chu. It's just a visual extravaganza, it's so much fun, and it's a really good movie. I've seen it and I'm really excited for it to come out." To check out the rest of I Am Rogue's interview with Goggins, in which the actor discusses the next season of Justified, click the source link below.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum, Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, Ray Stevenson, Byung-hun Lee and Ray Park. The film is set to hit theaters March 29th, 2013.

He's a good actor, so this could be cool.

@stanisloski WOW! That's probably one of the worst landings of a fighter jet I've ever seen!

He came in too fast and lifted the nose up too much. He was actually straightened enough before he titled the nose up more.

The next Joker maybe. ???
Justified is the best on tv.
