His blood brother Storm Shadow is also his archenemy.
The picture is based on the Hasbro toy of the same name, and marks the third "G.I. Joe" film Paramount has produced in the last decade. Its most recent -- starring Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis -- brought in $350 million worldwide. "Snake Eyes" is set to release in theaters on Oct. 23, 2020.
