The action-fueled new trailer for Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins stars Henry Golding as the masked, katana-wielding Joe, sets up the origin story for the iconic action figure-turned-movie character whose back story was once considered classified.

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins stars Henry Golding as Snake Eyes, a tenacious loner who is welcomed into an ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage after saving the life of their heir apparent.
