While Paramount’s Snake Eyes movie is seemingly close to landing its titular ninja – Henry Golding in advanced talks for the gig – now comes an update on who’ll be the villain of the piece.

Courtesy of The Wrap, Warrior’s Andrew Koji is being lined up to play Storm Shadow in the picture. The characters of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow started off as a military buddies before they ultimate ending up choosing opposing sides in the battle between G.I. Joe and Cobra.

The Storm Shadow character has previously been played in live-action by Byung-Hun Lee in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

To be directed by Robert Schwentke, Snake Eyes is currently booked in for an October 2020 release.
