It looks like the Snake Eyes movie has cast another major GI Joe/Action Force character with a nice choice of talent.
Ready Or Not star Samara Weaving (you cannot convince me she’s not Margot Robbie’s twin sister) will play Scarlett in the movie and joins Henry Golding, Haruka Abe, Ursula Corbero, Iko Uwais, and Andrew Koji with Robert Schwentke directing.
Scarlett in the original comic/animated series was real name Shana M O’Hara (Scarlett O’Hara – reddit?) and she uses a cool crossbow, is a master of martial arts and was played by Rachel Nichols played the character in GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra in 2009.
On top of this, we have a mini synopsis for the movie:
Snake Eyes is a ninja commando who dresses in all black, hides his face and doesn’t speak. He stands out among the military anti-terrorist group and quickly establishes himself as its most popular member. He also has a special relationship with Scarlett (Weaving), the team’s first female member, and sometimes carries out solo missions with his pet wolf, Timber. His blood brother Storm Shadow is also his archenemy.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this has the potential to be a really great bit of cinema if everyone involves treats it with a (mostly) straight face. Snake Eyes has long been a favourite of mine since childhood, so I cannot wait to see this done right.
Thoughts?
Snake Eyes is set to open October 16, 2020.
