G.I. Joe Movie Future in Doubt as Snake Eyes Star Unsure About Return or Transformers Crossover

by

In a somewhat underwhelming turn for the G.I. Joe franchise, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins disappointingly received an update. However, the film’s lead actor, Henry Golding, remains receptive to reprising his role in the future. Originally based on renowned action figures, Snake Eyes debuted in 2021, marking the initial G.I. Joe installment since Retaliation, which starred Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson and was launched eight years earlier.

In the more recent “G.I. Joe” film, helmed by Robert Schwentke, we follow a wandering character (played by Golding) who gains knowledge from the Arashikage clan as he pursues revenge for his father’s death. Although it boasted a talented cast and an engaging narrative, the movie titled “Snake Eyes” didn’t strike a chord with audiences at the box office. However, there could be potential for Golding and others to reappear in future installments.

In a recent chat with ComicBook.com, Golding hinted at rumors about Transformers and Snake Eyes, yet admitted he’s unsure if it will materialize or involve a different G.I. Joe character. Nevertheless, Golding remains enthusiastic about reprising his role, stating that there was “so much untapped potential.” Here are his thoughts:

It seems there are some developments underway – there are whispers about Transformers and Snake Eyes. Whether they’ll bypass our G.I. Joe series and revert to the original G.I. Joe is uncertain. Frankly, we’ve had a pretty tough time with that franchise in the past.

I’d be thrilled if they revive it! It had tremendous potential, and I adore its characters and universe. Honestly, I’d simply be happy for the fans if it returns, even if I’m not a part of it this time around.

What Henry Golding’s Update Means For G.I. Joe & Snake Eyes

A Transformers Crossover Is Happening In Some Capacity

It hasn’t been decided yet if characters from Snake Eyes will reappear in the upcoming G.I. Joe and Transformers movie, as the crossover is suggested in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts with Anthony Ramos’ character Noah Diaz joining G.I. Joe, and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura hinted at the possibility of G.I. Joe characters being part of a Transformers narrative.

Transformers might introduce fresh G.I. Joe characters, but the conclusion of Snake Eyes leaves room for another film, and Golding appears optimistic about this possibility. In the climax, Snake Eyes learns that his father was a member of G.I. Joe, and he too is recruited. Simultaneously, after their bond fractures, Tommy (Andrew Koji) seems to take on a wicked persona, transitioning into Storm Shadow.

Our Take On Snake Eyes’ Future

The Movie Underwhelmed Commercially

Given the disappointing box office performance of Snake Eyes, with only about $40 million earned compared to earlier G.I. Joe installments like Retaliation which grossed over $375 million worldwide, it’s not looking likely that a sequel will be produced. However, if they decide to move forward with another film and include the G.I. Joes, there may be hope for improvement, as Transformers: Rise of the Beasts has also struggled at the box office.

Moving forward, it’s intriguing to consider if characters from G.I. Joe or Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins might show up in the Transformers crossover, even though its box office performance was less than stellar. Golding is keeping an open mind about reprising his role, and it would be exciting to imagine Snake Eyes transitioning into a G.I. Joe, working alongside Autobots.
