Henry Golding?!

An Asian (technically half)?!

Snake Eyes is WHITE (and blonde), dammit.

Truth be told, so long as the movie is GOOD overall, I don't care one way or the other.

 

That is a very handsome and charismatic actor to play a silent masked character.

 

So, an entirely new Snake Eyes.
Got it.

 

Well, that casting basically confirms he'll obviously be sans mask for a good portion of the movie. They won't cover that lady bait. No way in hell.

 

This is casting that I didn't expect.

 

I mean did you think this was going to be a prequel to the last films?

 

Yeah, I was thinking the same. You’ll see his face and hear him a lot more than we should.

 

No.

 

And I'm out. Nothing wrong with Ray Park. Who the hell is Henry Golding? Never even heard of him.

 

I am really glad they changed Snake Eyes ethnicity. Outstanding call.

 

Problem with Park was that he was too old at this point. That was why they didn’t go with him to begin with.

 

Typical Hollywood makeover, so not really surprised.

This just became Ninja Assassin part 3 is all.

 

Yawn and sigh.

 

I'm kind of more interested in the Chuckles movie, to be honest.

 

Maybe he's really playing Storm Shadow instead.

 

I thought that at first, too. He could be a decent Tommy, but my concern is that he doesn't seem to have any martial arts training (from what I could find). So, I don't know that he would be good for Snake Eyes or Storm Shadow.

 

That's an easy fix, put the mask on during any fight scenes and use a stunt double.

 

And for fight scenes out of the suit?

Even the original Power Rangers actors had some form of martial arts training.

 

If you're using that as an example then im sure they can give him a few months of training to fake his way through it.

 

If it's a few months, he won't have to fake is way through it.

Unless he forgets it, that is.
Always a possibility.
