According to G.I. Joe Origins: Snake Eyes star Henry Golding, the upcoming movie isn't your regular superhero adventure."Just saw ðŸ... Holy hell. This is the exact opposite of the cookie cutter, super people movies," Golding wrote on Twitter. "Wow. You guys are in for something insane, I can't wait for you all to get your mits on this beast. Yowzers!!!! 🔥 Literally grinning from ear to ear."
Recently, G.I. Joe Origins: Snake Eyes saw its release pushed from Oct. 2020 to an unspecified 2021 date. Hasbro CEO and Chairman Brian Goldner confirmed the move, which is due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic heavily impacting Entertainment One, Hasbro's film/television division.
G.I. Joe Origins: Snake Eyes centers on G.I. Joe's famous ninja commando as he joins the Arashikage clan. The film will also explore the origins of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow's rivalry. A followup film is currently in development from Paramount and Hasbro's film arm, Allspark Pictures. Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse will pen that script.
Directed by Robert Schwentke, G.I. Joe Origins: Snake Eyes stars Henry Golding as Snake Eyes, Andre Koji as Storm Shadow, Iko Uwais as Hard Master, Úrsula Corberó as Baroness and Samara Weaving as Scarlett. The film arrives in theaters in 2021.
