We’re just over a month away from the release of Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, so to whet our action appetites, Paramount has released a series of new posters featuring the movie’s heroes and villains. These incredibly cool posters depict all the film’s main characters standing moodily in front of symbols of the three military organisations in the film, the Joes, Cobra, and the ninja clan, the Arashikage.
A prequel to the first two G.I. Joe movies, Snake Eyes stars Henry Golding as the titular ninja (replacing Ray Park) who’s welcomed into the Arashikage, an ancient Japanese clan, after saving the life of the clan’s heir. The Arashikage teach this lone warrior everything he needs to know about being a ninja -wearing black, being quiet, looking cool with a katana, that type of thing – and give him what he’s always wanted, a home.
However, things go sour when secrets from Snake Eye’s past are revealed and put him on the path to becoming the silent but deadly character we all know and love. Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins is set for a July 23 release in the US and will hit UK cinemas on August 18.
