Iko Uwais In Talks To Join G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes As Hard Master

Posted on September 6, 2019 at 9:06 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Martial artist and action star Iko Uwais is currently in discussions to join the cast of G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes as the Hard Master.

Since breaking out with the acclaimed Raid films, this Indonesian star has popped up in several high-profile Hollywood movies, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Mark Wahlberg’s Mile 22 among them. He last appeared as the villain in this summer’s Stuber opposite Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani.

You can check out Mr. Uwais in action via a video clip from The Raid 2:

    Why not just hire Japanese people for a Japanese clan? Unless they're going for a multi-racial/ethnic spin on it from the start.

    And "diversity" claims another franchise.

    Can't have Snake Eyes being an evil white supremacist Nazi with blue eyes and blonde hair.

    Now the Hard Master, who is supposed to be directly related to Storm Shadow can't be Japanese.

    If Scarlett shows up, she's going to be race bent too.

    Agreed. They’re trying to be “diverse” and yet they only cast Asians, and the wrong type for the wrong characters too. It doesn’t matter to the them though cause the media will still praise them for changing people’s race. Scarlett will probably be removed completely as they already said they’re giving Snake Eyes an Asian girlfriend. Hopefully this guy is good for the Hard Master. As the Linkin Park song goes, in the end it really doesn’t matter.

    I have noticed that some have commented that this actor is too young (36).
    Perhaps his Wu Assassins costar Byron Mann (age 52) may have been a better choice.

    But then again, We have an Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) who is only 54 and not a white haired little old lady like in the comic.

    Age is just a number...

    I am going to check out Wu on Netflix this weekend, but Iko in the Netflix trailer definitely has the martial arts stunt work down.

    I've always said that all of this Hollywood talk about diversity is fanasty and bullshit because when Hollywood is given the chance to do something truly diverse it doesn't. Case in point this Snake Eyes/JOE prequel project.

    There are plenty of Japanese martial artists and actors who need the work and exposure that this project would bring them and being that (as least as far as I know,) there's never been a major big budget American action movie with a majority Japanese cast and to do so with this project would promote diversity.

    I sincerely hope that this project makes money. Note I didn't say be good I said make money. Most of the Bayformers weren't any good, but them shits stayed making money and that's my hope with this JOE project that it makes money. I'll accept shitty money making G. I. JOE movies because at this point I don't want the JOEs to die off, which I think Hasbro is trying to do.
