Henry Golding addresses Snake Eyes casting

Henry Golding stars as Snake Eyes (Ian West/PA)

Henry Golding has said it is “not important at all” that he is taking on a role previously portrayed as white in the new GI Joe spin-off Snake Eyes because “the audience isn’t as dumb as people presumed back in the day.”

The Crazy Rich Asians star plays the ninjutsu-trained US commando in a new standalone prequel film about the character.
