Confirmed: Brendan Fraser in GI Joe

Brendan Fraser as Gung Ho

Earlier this month LatinoReview reported that Brendan Fraser had filmed a cameo appearance for Stephen Sommer’s G.I. Joe. Newsarama confirmed this story during their New York Comic Con Coverage. Fraser claims that he gets to ride a “bitching three wheeled motorcycle” in the film. His character, Gung Ho, a Village People-looking soldier from the toyline, is rumored to appear during a training sequence in The Pit. Thank god it’s only a cameo. If you missed it yesterday, please check out our Five Reasons Why G.I. Joe Could Actually Be Cool.

    not sure i understand why they are using up money for a well known actor just for a cameo..........any ideas?
  • I dont need anymore reasons to hate this film. Please stop with the bad news.
  • The Dude
    How sad is it that the big "cameo" in the film is Brandon Frasier? LOL!
  • good GUNG HO is in. WHere the bloody hell is Leatherneck!
  • Liam
    Peter why do you hate on Brendan so much, he is no where near as bad as that little pencil neck Marlon Wayans, WTF, explain please.
  • Eddie
    Just when I thought that G.I. Joe might be a good, action flick with a more serious tone they throw frickin' Brendan Fraser in it. Now I have no choice but to avoid this flick like the plague. Can someone please freeze this guy back up and bury him in Encino?

  • Hey, that's great.

    And by "great," I mean that Brendan Fraser and his hair plugs suck ass and serve as rat poison to any script.
  • orange cinema
    gung ho is one character that i wouldn't mind receiving a makeover for this film. he does appear to be, in the navy.........
  • This could be the worst news thus far about this project. I hope he isn't in the film long if at all, he is a horrid one genre actor like Keanu Reeves. Bad taste left in my mouth after this news.
  • Troy
    What??? Give me a break Brendan Fraser!!
  • cindylouwho
    I LOVE Brendan Fraser! I'll watch anything with him in it :0) I don't care if the movie sucks and if he's in it for like minute it will be worth my $$$$$
  • Brent
    Sheesh, like Fraser could hurt this movie more than it already will be from the get go. The biggest problem is that in their effort to appeal to the 'masses' they've specifically made the project international. I don't take issue with the uniforms, just the fact that they are explicitly assembled from international origins. They could have simply had all the same actors, accents and all.. from an elite American force. After all, American is internationally comprised to a degree anyway. This is a new level in pandering, and sadly, I think the youth of the popcorn "The Hills"-grade actors will seriously affect the clout with die-hards like myself. Simply tragic.
