RZA continues to expand his acting resume with the announcement that he’s in negotiations to join the cast of Paramount’s new G.I. Joe film.
The second G.I. Joe film in the series, the flick, set to be directed by Jon M. Chu, who previously helmed Justin Bieber: Never Say Never and Step Up 3D. Other stars include Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson, Elodie Yung and D.J. Cotrona.
The Wu-Tang swordsman is set to play “a martial arts master named the Blind Master who in the past trained Joe commandoes Snake-Eyes and Jinx.”
The RZArector most recently helmed his directorial debut The Man with the Iron Fist, which stars Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu and Pam Grier.

dam if he does get the role that will be the biggest movie role he ever had,
If baby RZA knew that he would finally get to be a martial arts master in a movie and then was told it was this shitty sequel, he probably would have stopped watching all those kung fu flicks.
y u gota be such a hater
Gettin that hollywood money!
dear hollywood, please stop fucking up everything that is sacred to my childhood
Co-sign. I felt like my childhood was being raped when I saw the first GI Joe movie. Michael Bay better not f*ck it up tomorrow, or else. Transformers 3 will be the tie breaker. Part one was great. Part two was god awful.
really i thought 2 was waayyy better than 1.
please hollowood stop asking rappers to act because they suck bigtime.
Acting is for talented people
Is that you Samuel Jackson?
a MOTHER FUCKIN SHARK ATE ME! I WAS IN STAR WARS! nah but rza is solid, theres a lot of rappers turned good actors, will smith, ice t, cube, dont hate but we could do without the soluja boys of the world
I hope the sequel actually stays true to the GI Joe cartoon. I don’t remember it that well but I don’t recall a forced love story between one of the GI Joe’s and Cobra’s henchwoman. This is probably what the producers are thinking “hmm how could we make the most money out of this? I know let’s try to throw in as many genres as possible! It was originally an action cartoon but let’s put some cheap humor and a little romance in there.” Same with Transformers. I remember it being about giant robots fighting each other not a drama about 2 high school kids with giant robots in the background. Let me guess they’ll make a movie about He-Man where he is secretly in love with Skellator’s sister and in the end the two of them settle their differences and become in-laws.
Heeeeeeeeeeeerb
you are a herbert
RZA needs to fuck with Tarantino on Django Unchained in some capacity, I can’t wait to see that ish.
Remember American Gangster? He recited his lines like they were being read from a teleprompter. It must frustrate good actors who might love the chance for a bigger payday, lose out simply because someone else fits an image a studio thinks they need.
Bitch, the RZA
I stand close to walls
