What happens

Snake Eyes (also known as Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins) is a 2021 American superhero film based on Hasbro's G.I. Joe toy line character Snake Eyes. The film serves as an origin story for the character, while also being a reboot and the third installment in the G.I. Joe film series. It is directed by Robert Schwentke from a screenplay by Evan Spiliotopoulos, Joe Shrapnel, and Anna Waterhouse. The film stars Henry Golding as Snake Eyes, a man who is invited to join a ninja clan while searching for his father's murderer to enact vengeance. Andrew Koji, Úrsula Corberó, Samara Weaving, and Iko Uwais also star in supporting roles. The project was first announced in May 2018, with Golding being cast in the title role in August 2019, while the rest of the cast joined in subsequent months. After initial filming took place in Vancouver and Japan from October 2019 to February 2020, reshoots took place in March 2021. Snake Eyes was released by Paramount Pictures in the United States on July 23, 2021. The film received generally mixed reviews from critics and only grossed $40 million worldwide against an $88–110 million budget, making it a box office bomb. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
