“Snake Eyes” Promising Ultimate Breakthrough of Authentic Superheroes

Henry Golding plays Snake Eyes in Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins from Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and Skydance.

Directed by Robert Schwentke, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins follows actor Henry Golding as Snake Eyes. He’s a tenacious loner who becomes part of an ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage after saving the life of their heir. Upon arrival in Japan, the Arashikage teaches Snake Eyes the ways of the ninja warrior while also providing something he’s been longing for — a home.

But, as secrets from his past become revealed, Snake Eyes’ honor and allegiance become tested — even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him.

Based on the iconic G.I. Joe character, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, Evan Spiliotopoulos wrote the screenplay. His credits include Beauty and the Beast, The Huntsman: Winter’s War, and recently The Unholy, which he also directed.

Snake Eyes also stars Andrew Koji as Storm Shadow, Úrsula Corberó as The Baroness, Samara Weaving as Scarlett, Haruka Abe as Akiko, Takehiro Hira as Kenta and Iko Uwais as Hard Master.
