Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (or simply Snake Eyes) is a 2021 American superhero film[5][6] loosely based on Hasbro's G.I. Joe toy line character Snake Eyes. It is the third installment in the G.I. Joe film series. The film is directed by Robert Schwentke from a screenplay by Evan Spiliotopoulos, Joe Shrapnel, and Anna Waterhouse. It serves as an origin story for the title character, while also being a reboot of the film series. The film stars Henry Golding as Snake Eyes, with Andrew Koji, Úrsula Corberó, Samara Weaving, and Iko Uwais in supporting roles.

The project was first announced in May 2018, with Golding being cast in the title role in August 2019 and the rest of the cast joining in subsequent months. After initial filming took place in Vancouver and Japan from October 2019 to February 2020, reshoots took place in March 2021.

Snake Eyes was released by Paramount Pictures in the United States on July 23, 2021. The film received generally mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and only grossed $40 million worldwide against an $88–110 million budget, making it a box office bomb.
