Adrianne Palicki is ‘G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes’ Lady Jaye

Her Friday Night Lights might have been turned off and not even an invisible jet could get the doomed Wonder Woman pilot off the ground, but Adrianne Palicki is still keeping busy, according to the latest from Deadline.

The red-and-blue outfit might have been shoved to the back of somebody’s closet but Palicki will no doubt be slipping into another skintight outfit as she joins up with G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes as Lady Jaye. I’m still bummed that Scarlett and the Baroness aren’t making a return appearance but Palicki as Jaye is a definite step in the right direction.

Palicki will be joining Joe alums Channing Tatum (Duke), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), Byung Hun-Lee (Storm Shadow), and newbies Dwayne Johnson, RZA, DJ Cotrona, and Elodie Yung.

I was less than thrilled with the first film and don’t have high expectations for the sequel, but one character has yet to be cast and that person might have the potential to slightly redeem this attempt at scoring a big summertime hit. Joe Colton, the original G.I. Joe, still doesn’t have a face to go with the name. Bruce Willis, along with a few other actors, is reportedly being considered for the part and I think Paramount should make it happen. The more good actors around to take the focus off waste-of-space Tatum, the better the movie will be.
