It may come as no surprise, but the latest trailer for the upcoming Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins film is full of action.
Starring Henry Golding as the masked katana-wielding ninja, the film sets up the origin story for the character whose history was once considered classified.
In a recent interview, Henry Golding promised that Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe will “pay homage” to the original Joe lore, he said:
“In this film, we pay homage to the classic lore that is G.I. Joe, but of course, we updated it, together with Larry Hama, and created a brand-new start to the G.I. Joe Universe.”

Henry Golding has also stressed that he thinks the approach of focusing on a single character first, instead of kicking things off with another team-based flick, is the best route to take so that it can lay the “groundwork” for the Joes to come together at a later date.
It seems as though Paramount Pictures have opted to follow a similar world-building approach used by Marvel Studios by delivering films that are focused on individual characters, before bringing them together for an Avengers-like event, which in this case would be a G.I. Joe team-up flick.
Paramount Pictures look as though they have been planning a cinematic universe of their own for a number of years, and it seems as though they finally have a plan in place for a G.I. Joe Cinematic Universe thanks to producers Lorenzo di Bonaventure, Brian Goldner, and of course Larry Hama.
