Henry Golding has posted a new image on Instagram, featuring the cast of Snake Eyes exploring the city of Himeji.
Cast including Henry Golding (Snake Eyes), Andrew Koji (Storm Shadow), Úrsula Corberó (The Baroness), Haruka Abe (Akiko) and previously announced Japanese actress Eri Ishida can be spotted in this new photo.
However, another new actor is seen, hiding behind Ms. Abe. The actor in question is Peter Mensah.
It is worth noting that Mr. Mensah is an accomplished martial artist who starred in many TV series including Spartacus, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and movies such as 300, The Incredible Hulk and Avatar.
HISSTANK Boards Member skinny pointed out that Peter Mensah was seen traveling to Japan along with the rest of cast of the movie.
While we do not have any idea regarding the specific role he will play, it is likely that we are looking at The Blind Master; based on the leaked plot details back in December 2018.
Mr. Mensah’s physical appearance closely resembles The Blind Master concept art for G.I. Joe: Retaliation by Aaron Sims (see attached).

Maybe a Destro cameo
This is blasphemy! This is madness!!!
He looks like he could be a good Destro. That's my first thought. And my second thought? Well nevermind.........
He does very much look like Destro, in fact that’s the first thought that came into my head. The Blind Master makes a lot more sense tho
Not holding my breath, but...
I really wish this was Destro...
In 300 he used one of his many voices, kinda sounds like sunbow Destro.. He's got the head and he is super imposing. Wonder what a cgi chrome dome would look like on him... hmmmm
Baroness is also in the cast picture seen on Goldings Instagram.
Now that's how you cast someone correctly for a part.
That guy better be Destro.
So of course he'll just be someone else and not Destro, because nothing about this movie suggests any caring for the history of Joe.
Blind Master??? Hahahahah! Muppets are in charge of making this movie.

To be clear, if they cast Peter Mensah as Destro I don't have a problem with it, but it would not in any way whatsoever be in keeping with "the history of Joe."
But given this site is pretty much nothing more than shitposting 90 percent of the time you can never be sure when someone's being serious or not.

Surprise!
This fandom is absolutely fascinating. A half-Asian Snake Eyes and shitfits aplenty. A black man in an undisclosed role and clamouring for him to be the traditionally Caucasian Scotsman.
