Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Originssees the titular character being welcomed into a Japanese clan known as the Arashikage after he saves the life of one of their members. After arriving in Japan, the Arashikage teaches Snake Eyes a multitude of combat skills that helps him become the ninja warrior fans know today. The Arashikage also gives him something intangible: a home, which is something he’s been searching for long before the events of the film.
Another exciting feature of this movie is the inclusion ofother prominentG.I. Joecharacterssuch as Storm Shadow, Scarlett, and even Baroness. Expect to see the fallout of Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes' relationship in this film as it develops into the vengeful never-ending rivalry that many know and love.
Snake Eyes is by far one of the more interestingcharacters in theG.I. Joelore. The television shows and comics had a plethora of characters who the movies touched on a little bit, but for the most part, didn’t really dive into it. If theSnake Eyesfilm does well then maybe fans will get to see other movies that show the origins of the characters or perhaps even a soft reboot of the live-action film.
Many are also not expecting much as based on the lastG.I. Joefilms, which came and then went away. Some fans online are worried about the director and screenwriter based on their track record with their previous work. Only time will tell and since this is a prequel, there is room for it to grow and change. Fans should keep expectations tamed but also go into it with an open mind.
Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Originswill be in theaters on July 23rd, 2021.
