The Unlikely Hero: Can Danny McBride Save G. I. Joe? The recent announcement that Danny McBride will direct the next G. I. Joe movie has left many fans puzzled.
A comedic actor, best known for his work in Eastbound & Down and Pineapple Express, seems an unlikely choice to helm a franchise struggling to find its footing.
McBride's involvement is more than just a novelty, however. He has a proven track record as a writer and director, with credits including Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals.
