01:05pm EDT| Can Henry Goldingâs âSnake Eyesâ Turn âG.I. Joeâ Into A Franchise On The Third Try? Share to Facebook Paramount dropped the first trailer (and concurrent featurette) for Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins last night during the MTV Movie Awards. The Skydance flick, now opening theatrically in conventional, PLF, Dolby and IMAX formats on July 23, stars Henry Golding ( Crazy Rich Asians, A Simple Favor, Last Christmas) in a âbefore he was the guy you knewâ origin story that will allow the famously mute and masked ninja warrior to be speak and be seen. You donât cast a ridiculously good-looking guy like Golding and hide him behind a mask. However, this does feel like another doomed âthe prequel to the movie you came to seeâ origin story/franchise set-up flick. Do general audiences really care about learning how Snake Eyes became Snake Eyes, or do they just want to see Snake Eyes being Snake Eyes?
