It\u2019s been seven years since G.I.Joe Retaliation<\/em>, and time apart may be just what this franchise needed. Even with the star power of Channing Tatum, Duane \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson, and Bruce Willis<\/em>, the \u201cJoe\u201d franchise never took off as hoped. While there were some high points, lets be honest, the best parts of those movies included Snake Eyes<\/em>. Which makes perfect sense why Paramount Pictures<\/em> is rebooting the franchise starting with its most popular \u201cJoe\u201d, SNAKE EYES<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henry Golding<\/strong> will be playing the titular hero, Snake Eyes<\/em>. One of the original commandos in G.I. Joe. Badly injured in one of his first missions, severely disfiguring his face and damaging his vocal chords beyond repair. Most notably known for his black body suit, with matching balaclava and visor, ninja fighting style, extremely proficient with guns and more specifically, his Japanese katana. This was every kid\u2019s favorite \u201cJoe\u201d growing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His origin has been notoriously \u201cCLASSIFIED<\/strong>\u201d throughout most of his cartoon and comic career. To see where he began will give us a little more backstory and help us understand one of the 80\u2019s most favorite cartoon heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actor gave us a first look<\/a> at his character earlier this month<\/p>\n\n\n\n
