Henry Golding States That G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes Is A Standalone Movie

Posted on November 9, 2019 at 11:01 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

While on press tour for his latest movie, actor Henry Golding spoke about his upcoming movie G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes.

“[While growing up] I was a huge fan of the G.I. Joe and Transformers mix. It just blew my mind that those two worlds could coexist. So I had all those comics and to be honest it’s as lovely and amazing as the sort of romantic comedies are. There’s a physical challenge that I did not understand until I was doing Snake Eyes, in action movies; which is so tiring and [turning towards his co-star Emilia Clarke] like you’ve done the Terminator and you were beaten to a pulp and I can totally understand how tiring it is.”

He had a very definitive statement when asked about how G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes would fit in with the previous G.I. Joe movies; Rise Of Cobra and Retaliation.

“This is definitely a standalone. Yeah. I’m Snake Eyes in the film. It is his origin. It is him becoming who he is and I think people are going to be blown away with what Robert Schwentke, the director, has conceptualized. We have the best team.”

When asked about whether Snake Eyes’ face will be concealed:

“Well, I can’t give away any of that.”

Mr. Golding’s statement is a clear evidence that G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes’ connection to the existing G.I. Joe Live Action Movies is the same as Transformers: Bumblebee was to the Michael Bay Transformers Live Action Movies. It is likely that fans can connect to the existing ones but can also consider it as a soft-reboot with a potential to forge its own path later; if needs be. But, only time can tell.

    Well of course it is. It's obviously just its own "What if Snake Eyes was Asian" story.

    But really, this is just studios being cautious about starting a shared movie universe. Didn't work out for DC, and didn't work out for Universal's monsters among others.

    This way, if they make one stand alone thing and it bombs, they can cut their losses there, rather than staying committed to a series that will lose them even more money. And if it works, then they can just build around that movie and branch it out.

    Guess it’s like Bumblebee then, where it’s not definitely a part of the previous series. This might be a good thing either way: if it’s good, then it can start a new series without being weighed down by tying into the previous films, and if it’s bad, then RoC and Ret don’t get affected.

    This exactly. Bumblebee did well and now they are going to continue the bayverse but Bumblebee style. If Snake-Eyes does well my guess would be they would make a third GI Joe with the Rock

    Or is he just saying that? I don't know. I hear actors say in the movies their, "I've read the comics as a kid." "I've watched the cartoons." "I was a big fan growing up." But that's it, that's all we hear. They rarely talk about what they know about it.
