00:00:03.149 --> 00:00:06.861
In the G.I. Joe comics, Snake Eyes is one of those characters

00:00:06.861 --> 00:00:08.779
that's had kind of a mysterious past.

00:00:10.364 --> 00:00:13.117
He was famously known as the silent ninja.

00:00:13.117 --> 00:00:15.161
This is Morning Light.

00:00:15.690 --> 00:00:18.680
Larry Hama really blossomed the character

00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:22.020
within an issue called the Silent Interlude

00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:24.880
which had no words, just pictures.

00:00:25.379 --> 00:00:26.590
When I did the comic,

00:00:26.590 --> 00:00:29.370
I made it character-centric.

00:00:29.370 --> 00:00:31.690
I came up with the backstory of Storm Shadow

00:00:31.690 --> 00:00:34.000
takes Snake Eyes into the clan.

00:00:34.013 --> 00:00:38.080
Larry Hama created the modern day version of what we know G.I Joe to be.

00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:40.853
We try to find a balance between

00:00:40.853 --> 00:00:43.260
what is pre-existing G.I Joe lore,

00:00:43.270 --> 00:00:45.090
but also finding a way of updating it.

00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:46.200
Giving people more.

00:00:49.111 --> 00:00:51.300
That opened up a world of opportunity.

00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:54.060
Let's do the origin story, before he's lost his voice.

00:00:55.370 --> 00:00:56.190
Let's go.

00:00:58.050 --> 00:01:01.570
Shooting in Japan was super important for driving the story.

00:01:03.250 --> 00:01:07.213
When you go to Japan, there's some energy that you pick up from actually being there.

00:01:09.770 --> 00:01:13.010
I'm super excited for people to see what we're building.

00:01:13.030 --> 00:01:16.597
This is literally a stepping stone into the G.I. Joe universe.

00:01:16.597 --> 00:01:18.810
