Paramount Pictures marketing team is currently present at the 2019 Comic Con Experience – São Paulo (CCXP 2019) to showcase their upcoming lineup of movies.

On the first day (December 5th), the team presented an exclusive trailer from Sonic The Hedgehog movie, along with several posters, artwork and concept art.

Paramount did not forget to mention G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes although we cannot confirm any material being shown.

We have received reports mentioning the following statement from the studio:

“G.I. Joe team is on a new mission in G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes.”

While the statement is rather vague, mentioning the word ‘team’ is rather interesting. Since the new movie is following the footsteps of Transformers: Bumblebee, there is a likelihood that we will see a couple of sequences featuring the war between G.I. Joe and Cobra.

CCXP 2019 will continue until December 8th. We hope to see and hear more info as the convention continues.

HISSTANK is currently chasing a new lead regarding a G.I. Joe Evergreen toyline by Hasbro.

Based on the information we uncovered, Hasbro has assembled several team members responsible for the recent Transformers Evergreen line to pursue a similar approach for the G.I. Joe franchise as well.

According to the info, the team is specialized to cater several demographics including Preschool, Kids, Collectors and Budget.

However, we do not have any images to show; which was not the case with Transformers Evergreen, where product packaging and toy listings were leaked to the internet by anonymous sources well ahead of official reveals. If luck will grace us, we will see the new toys sooner rather than later. It is best to keep in mind that nothing is set in stone. Plans can change and we may not even see the Evergreen line. But we’ll keep the negativity to the side.

Although the information we have is scarce at the moment, we can speculate what we can expect from this possible new toyline, based on the aforementioned Transformers Evergreen initiative.

You can check out our speculations, after the jump.

Mr. Tanigaki has posted images of the stunt crew, stunt props, Vancouver wrap-up parties and an image of the working title above the Cobra insignia.

But the best photo is the one showcasing the possible logo of the G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes live action movie (news post title image). The new logo incorporates the classic font and the star on the first ‘S’.

Speaking to Entertainment Ireland, G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes star Henry Golding confirmed that the movie will indeed be a reboot to the G.I. Joe Live Action Movie Franchise.

“Snake Eyes is absolutely insane, phenomenal conception of Robert Schwentke and everybody at Paramount. It is the origin story and we’re rebooting G.I. Joe as everybody knows it; starting fresh and giving it much more of a storyline and a character-based kind of story to really kick things off.”

Elaborating further, the actor stated.

“Giving it a heart, I think, is what’s most important. Especially with the character that is so beloved and so mysterious in many ways; one that was never able to sort of express himself. So, this is the first time where I think that people will be sort of drawn to Snake Eyes as a character rather than as a weapon.”

Speaking about the production schedule:

“I’m on day-19 over in Vancouver, right now. So, we’ve been filming these insane action sequences and we’ve got a crack team from Japan and Vancouver on board. So, it really is wonderfully shot and I’m so excited to share more but I can’t. Do keep eyes out there.

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.

It’s time for a long overdue G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes movie update.

Few days back, the residents of West Cordova and West Waterfront Road in Vancouver, Canada were informed of several motorcycle stunts being performed for the upcoming movie; G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes. The stunts consisted of “motorcycles weaving and engaging in combat, during which simulated gunfire maybe heard”. The stunt also consisted of a motorcycle backflip.

We believe this news directly connects with the casting info we heard back in September. Leaflets informing the filming also confirms the working title of the movie.

Meanwhile, the movie crew is hard at work building a new highway for the movie. Yes, a new highway just for the movie.

Last but certainly not the least, we have another behind-the-scenes footage thanks to Twitter user @Tankgaming12345.

The scene seems to feature a stuntman riding a motorcycle backwards, while slicing the tires of another incoming motorcycle with a sword.
