Paramount Pictures has joined hands with artist Dragon76 to bring a brand new poster for Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins.

This poster reveal comes prior to a promotional campaign slated to debut on June 16th at the Complexland virtual shopping festival.

During the festival, fashion merchandise based on the upcoming movie will become available. In addition to that, fans can unlock a special avatar based on the titular character from the movie.

But we didn’t come to the best part yet.

Actor Henry Golding has stated that a brand new Full Trailer for the movie will go live soon. It is unclear when we will see the trailer, but it is most likely that this will happen in conjunction with the Complexland virtual shopping festival thanks to several hints from the Snake Eyes Movie Instagram page. According to the hints, fans must visit a virtual location called Neo Crossing to see movie-related content.

We have received a press release issued to Canadian theaters as promotional material for Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins movie.

While we have seen almost all the details mentioned, one particular bit of info caught our eyes:

“Story by Evan Spiliotopoulos

Screenplay by Evan Spiliotopoulos, Joe Shrapnel, and Anna Waterhouse”

Up until now, we’ve only seen Mr. Spiliotopoulos on the credits list for the movie’s script. But this new press release issued two weeks after the original press release on May 14th, also credits scriptwriters Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse.

Originally, the scriptwriting duo was hired to pen a follow-up movie to Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. It is likely that some of the re-shoot elements added following several test screenings may have been a direct result of Mr. Shrapnel and Ms. Waterhouse amending the original story for the movie. It is also likely that connections to the next G.I. Joe movie may have been added to Snake Eyes movie as well.

This isn’t the first time this happened to a Hasbro movie. In fact, history has repeated itself almost exactly. Back in 2018, test screenings for Transformers: Bumblebee generated a negative audience reaction due to its association with the ‘Bayverse’. Lindsey Beer joined the original writer Christina Hodson to amend the story for re-shoots and turned the script from a prequel to a reboot. New elements were added for future movies for a ‘brand new storytelling universe’ (Brian Goldner’s words).

Are we going to get a surprise on Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins? Only time will tell.

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins will hit Canadian theaters on July 23rd, 2021.

We have received additional images of Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins Movie Titans Line which includes simple 12-inch toys of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.

These figures are mostly targeted towards the budget market and crash-and-bash play patterns.

Surprisingly, the figures seem to have more range of motion than other Titan Figures and the swords come with their own sheaths; which you can attach to the back of each figure.

under G.I. Joe Retro Line

Special thanks to HISSTANK Boards Member SwordMonkey, we now have several in-hand images of G.I. Joe Retro Line Wave 4 (the figures are literally in hand).

These figures were located in a Walmart in Central New York.

Each case only contained Stalker & Cobra Trooper; 3 each for a total of 6. As we discovered, it is now clear that Wave 4 only consists of 2 characters and it is also likely that Wave 5 is close behind with 2 more.
