We've been anxiously awaiting our first glimpse of anything from the upcoming G.I. Joe movie and it's finally here! The G.I. Joe fansite hisstank.com has got their hands on the first costumed photo of Snake Eyes, played by Ray Park. The photo below is not CGI, that is an actual photo of the costume that Ray wears in the movie. We confirmed directly with Paramount that this is 100% real. Check this out and let us know what you think. I've been excited for G.I. Joe from the start, but I want to know if this is finally getting everyone else excited, too!

Snake Eyes

Another second photo has been released that is very similar to the original image seen to the right below.

Snake Eyes

Snake Eyes original Snake Eyes is a mysterious character with little known about his background or identity, beyond that he holds the rank of U.S. Army Sergeant First Class (E-7). Hasbro has released over 30 different versions of the character since its original debut in 1982. The "ninja master" is known for his stealth like movements and extensive knowledge of multiple forms of martial arts, and is usually always masked and wearing complete black. You can see an example of Snake Eyes from the action figure line to the right for comparison.

Snake Eyes is being played by Ray Park, known for his performances as the acrobatic Darth Maul and Toad in the first X-Men. He is in a way like Andy Serkis (Gollum, King Kong) or Doug Jones (Abe Sapien, Silver Surfer), who best perform physically and beneath a costume. The reason why he's always cast for these kind of roles is because he holds a second degree black belt in Wushu and came in second place at the 1995 world championships.

G.I. Joe is directed by Stephen Sommers (Deep Rising, The Mummy, Van Helsing) and written by both Stuart Beattie and Skip Woods. The movie arrives in theaters on August 7th, 2009.

I'll be damned it's spot on. Still not feelin the whole movie so far, but that pic is badass.
Matt Suhu

I concur...this is a step in the right direction, but i'm still skeptical. hopefully McG will continue with the use of the original costumes, rather than they way Michael Bay revamped Transformers.

Cool. Not too excited and I don't think I ever will be though I still will probably end up seeing it.

McG? I thought it was the Mummy director making this film. If McG was directing I wouldn't even see that movie for free.

Stephen Sommers is a hack. Van Helsing was the worst thing I've seen in my entire life, and he should be dragged into the street and shot for offending our sensibilities like that. He's going to ruin this movie.
Sinner

Van Helsing, The Mummy & Deep Rising. That's a huge buzzkill aint it? I sure hope this Sommers does not ruin the first live action G.I. Joe that we have all been thirting for. What a shame & a sin that would be. God be with you, Stephen Sommers, if you fu*k this up!
Matt Suhu

sorry...i was thinking of Terminator 4. you're right, it's Sommers.
Brian Butler

Just a heads up, Snake Eyes wasn't always in "all black". Back in the late 80's, a 12 inch figure came out where his costume was comprised of blue, gray, and black.

Well I love the look but I still think ray is too short to be Snake Eyes. All I care about is getting CC and Destro right.
Rob G

SWEET! I'm so looking forward to this!

the whole GI Joe premise for a movie is pretty lame....cant see what it is going to have to offer...except Ray Park...an absolutely fabulous martial artist with a style all his own... worth seeing just for his action shots....
booger

I want to see Storm Shadow before I make any sweeping judgments on the film. Showing Snake Eyes standing off against him would be classic. That would definitely light a fire for this film.
Curtis

thats spot on looks just like him, this movie could be fun like transformers.
Dusty

AHHHHHHHH, look its TOAD.... haha.. sorry just had to point that out.. Ray Park is a badass... this was a GREAT casting
Django Joe

He def looks WAY better w/out the suicide-bomber vest. Makes him look fat-ass, not bad-ass.
Alfredo

omg that picture's awesome. Even if this movie sucks I'll still watch it, just cause I miss the good old days of GI Joe.

I think I'll be worth watching GIJOE just because of Ray Park!

Why the hell was Ray Park cast as Toad? Sure!! Toad the comic book character should be played by Ray Park in a movie. But the Toad the movie character just walked on walls (special effects) and used a CGI tongue.

CC

Why do a lot of people think that he is fat? Remember, he's 10 years older now than he was in Star Wars. I think he'd be a great Snake Eyes.
