Ray Park Will Not Be Cast in ‘G.I.Joe: Snake Eyes’!

In a striking but not unsurprising announcement today, actor Ray Park who played Snake Eyes in both Rise of Cobra and Retaliation will not reprise his role in the upcoming G.I.Joe: Snake Eyes film. Ray Park would not be appropriate for the part because it is an origin story.Lorenzo DiBonaventura revealed today.
