Paramount Pictures has announced Snake Eyes will be participating in next month’s Comic-Con@Home, the virtual version of the annual San Diego Comic-Con pop culture event.

Joe comics, Larry Hama.”
The panel’s date and time have not yet been announced. Expect further updates in the weeks leading up to the virtual event.

The Plot, Courtesy of Paramount:
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. Upon arrival in Japan, the Arashikage teach Snake Eyes the ways of the ninja warrior while also providing something he’s been longing for: a home. But, when secrets from his past are revealed, Snake Eyes’ honor and allegiance will be tested – even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him.
