There needed to be a real sense of story – and especially if you're going to concentrate on one particular character, we need to know him truly in what his motivations are. So when they approached me about it, it was also Robert Schwentke's idea of how he wanted to put this story across which was really important for me, because I didn't want it to be just a generic action film that we've seen 100 times before. And Snake Eyes was definitely up there in terms of hitting that action spot, in which I was looking for the right story, the right role, the right characters. I really wanted to push my boundaries in terms of the different genres, the different scripts, the different directors I get to work with. Was the chance to do something new part of the appeal?ġ00%, absolutely, especially in the fledgling part of my career. In a short space of time, you've covered a lot of genres and Snake Eyes marks your first action movie.
We sat down with Golding over Zoom in June around the launch of the movie's action-packed trailer, to get a taste of what fans can expect now that Snake Eyes has finally landed in UK cinemas. However, when secrets from his past are revealed, his honour and allegiance will be tested, and it could see him lose the trust of those closest to him. The clan not only teaches Snake Eyes the way of the ninja warrior, but also provide him with something he's been longing for: a home. Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins sees Golding's loner welcomed into an ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage after saving the life of heir apparent Storm Shadow (Andrew Koji).

He's been a handsome ghost in Last Christmas (sorry, spoiler alert), a gangster in The Gentlemen, and now, he's got his first major lead action role as Snake Eyes in the reboot of the GI Joe movie series. Since breaking through (and winning our hearts) in Crazy Rich Asians, Henry Golding has covered a lot of ground in his short movie career to date, constantly challenging himself in new genres.
