Ray Stevenson is Firefly in G.I. JOE 2 Cobra Strikes
I’ve always thought Firefly was one of the biggest badasses in COBRA (certainly he had one of the great designs) so even though this movie franchise is most certainly not going in the direction that I – a G.I. Joe fan – would care for, you can’t fault the casting of Ray Stevenson, the former [...]
