More casting news is starting to leak out for the upcoming G.I. Joe feature film. A couple of weeks ago we heard that Siena Miller would be starring in the film, most likely as The Baroness, and now this week /Film have reportedly confirmed the fact that martial arts expert Ray Park will be playing the role of Snake Eyes. Park is most well-known for playing Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and also Toad in X-Men. He really hasn’t done much since then, so this is obviously another big break for him, and it’s a decent fit considering that Snake Eyes doesn’t need to talk or show facial expressions, only kick ass (from what we’ve heard of the script, I’m assuming he will wear a mask, just like in the cartoon/comics, and he has also taken a vow of silence). Rumour has it that Snake Eyes may also have a relationship with Scarlett in the film, for whatever that’s worth. I think the more important thing to most fans will be to ensure that Storm Shadow is in the movie, and that he will still have a rivalry with Snake Eyes. It’s still way too early to tell how this thing might turn out, but I suppose this is one small step in the right direction.
