Henry Golding Eyed As Snake Eyes For G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes

under G.I. Joe Movie

Crazy Rich Asians breakout star Henry Golding is now in negotiations to become the titular hero of G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes.

Entertainment news website The Wrap writes:

In the year since “Crazy Rich Asians” was released, Golding has become one of the most in-demand leading men in Hollywood, with a diverse array of roles. Golding will next be seen in Guy Ritchie’s highly anticipated crime comedy “The Gentlemen” starring opposite Matthew McConaughey, Colin Farrell, and Hugh Grant. Golding plays the volatile gangster “Dry Eye” pitted against McConaughey’s ring leader of a powerful drug trade. STX will release the film on Jan. 24, 2020.

Golding is represented by Paradigm, Megan Silverman Management, and Stone Genow.

Coincidentally, the director of Crazy Rich Asians is none other than Mr. Jon M. Chu; who also directed G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

    So is he supposed to be South American? Isn't this SE supposed to have his beginnings street fighting there?

    Too old, too short, and a domestic abuser.

    When is Lewis Tan going to get put into these pictures? Does this dude even know martial arts?

    I feel the same way about Simu Liu as Chang Shi. Does that guy know karate?

    Because Finn Jones did not, and Iron Fist sucked in large part because of it.

    Well hopefully the studio really help him in the choreography department. At least Ray Park was known for having some pretty awesome fighting skills. I figured they would at least get someone that had the same type skills as Ray Park if they don't want him to be Snake Eyes again.

    Pretty certain SE is white in the movie universe as well in the comics, but I can see how the media will react to him being a white boy in Asia...

    Kind of like what they did to Ripcord in Rise of Cobra. I mean I'm not racist but I don't understand the race change in the characters. But I guess concerning Snake Eyes the race really shouldn't matter since we may never see his face or hear his voice.

    Agreed. If this gentleman is playing him under the mask, fine and good... but Snake-Eyes is a character where his race matters.

    Also... maybe he's just playing Storm Shadow?
