Iko Uwais recently joined theSnake Eyescast as Hard Master, the man who trained both Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes.
The Baroness was as a major villain in the originalG.I. Joecomic series. She is a high ranking member of the evil organization Cobra and she possesses a variety of talents. She is good with hand-to-hand combat, she can use a variety of different weapons, and she’s also a skilled pilot. If all of that wasn’t enough, The Baroness is known for being a brilliant tactician too. Basically, you don’t want to mess with her. It’s going to be interesting to see where she fits into theSnake Eyesmovie.
Úrsula Corberóis originally from Spain and is best known for her work on the small screen. She has starred inFisica o Quimica,Isabel, andLa embajada. In addition to her small screen work and her recent breakout role on Netflix’sMoney Heist, Corbero also starred on the big screen inParanormal Xperience 3DandEl Arbol de La Sangre. She plays Tokio in the Spanish-language Netflix series, which just released its third season in July. The series is critically-acclaimed and also has a huge fan base that gets big streaming numbers on the streaming platform.
TheSnake Eyesmovie story focuses on the titular character’s origins “where he tries to become a member of the Arashikage Clan, a ninja clan based in Japan.” The Baroness doesn’t really have deep ties to the character or his origin series, so it’s unclear where she will fit into theG.I. Joe spin-off. With that being said, fans of the franchise will more than likely be pretty happy to see yet another familiar character make it into the upcoming movie. There may even be more Cobra ties revealed when all is said and done.
Snake Eyesis set to be directed by Robert Schwentke from a screenplay by Evan Spiliotopoulos. Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and Brian Goldner are producing the project, along with Jeff Waxman on board as executive producer. Hasbro and Skydance are co-producing, while MGM is co-financing. With casting coming together, production will more than likely begin soon, especially since the movie is all set to officially hit theaters on October 16th. With production imminent, we should get some set photos, which will hopefully give us a better idea of what Schwentke is going to do with theG.I. Joefranchise.The Wrapwas the first to break The Baroness casting news.
