SNAKE EYES: Henry Golding's G.I. JOE Spinoff Gets A New 2021 Release Date From Paramount

After initially setting it for an October 2020 release date, Paramount was forced to remove its long-gestating G.I. Joe spinoff Snake Eyes from their release calendar last month due to the uncertainty of the box office as a result of the still ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

However, it looks like the Robert Schwentke-directed film once again has a release date as the studio has now set it for October 22, 2021, almost exactly one year to the day it was originally set to debut. 

Henry Golding (The Gentlemen) will headline the feature with a supporting cast consisting of Andrew Koji (Fast & Furious 6) as Storm Shadow, Samara Weaving (Ready or Not) as Scarlett, Úrsula Corberó (The Secret Life of Pets) as Baroness, Haruka Abe (47 Ronin) in an undisclosed role, Iko Uwais (The Raid) as Hard Master and Takehiro Hira (Giri/Haji) in an undisclosed role.

Plot details are currently being kept under wraps, but it's rumored to tell the untold origin story of the fan-favorite commando.

This has a ton of potential. I hope it delivers.

Everything about this seems fine, the cast is solid, the director & writer have done decent work. This won't blow anyone away, but I expect it to entertain a lot.

Really hope they nail the costumes, specially as this is explicitly a toy selling franchise. Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and the Baroness have pretty iconic looking suits and the previous movies were able to capture them very well. I hope this ends with Cobra Commander & Duke showing up to.

This has fail written all over it. It's SINO - Snake-Eyes In Name Only (old Ain't it cool news reference). By tossing out 2/3rd of Snake-Eyes history and character, this ends up being some random ninja movie. Snake-Eyes being the fish out of water as a white guy in Japan falling head first into the assassin underworld is a big part of the character, as well as being a US veteran. Thats the whole basis of the assembly of the JOE team. Stalker is tasked by General Flagg to make an elite mixed force team. He served with Snake-Eyes and was bffs, so Stalker goes to him almost immediately. Storm Shadow was a fellow veteran and that's how Snake-Eyes gets mixed up with the ninjas. So you really have to have that military veteran basis.

Follow the damn vintage Marvel comics!!! Damnit, Hasbro.

I wish it was a proper GI Joe re-boot instead. We'll see.

Awesome casting for Scarlett and Baroness! Could have a bit more substance than the Joe movies we got so far.

I repeat this too much maybe: but writers please please lean more on Larry Hama brilliance than your own ideas.
