Joe character when we were kids, with the sole exception of his black-suited mute good-guy counterpart Snake-Eyes (to his right in the poster). At this point I'd lay even odds that the two of them will have more prominence in the film than the poster would suggest. And considering that Snake-Eyes is horribly disfigured under his mask, Storm Shadow's is likely to be the only face we see (except perhaps in flashback). So if you can get past the fact that he is at best a ninja mercenary working for the action figure world's most ruthless terrorist organization, Storm Shadow is in theory one of the two best roles in the film.

Looks like he is playing Martial Law in the Tekken movie. A lot of people don't seem to know him, especially outside of the Bay Area, but he is an awesome fighter and a trainer too! He broke Frank Shamrock's arm in an MMA match, and I have seen him totally own people in Sanshou., During The Ultimate Fighter finals show, announcer Joe Rogan was saying that Anthony Johnson was learning striking with Cung Le and then bang! Johnson knocked out Kevin Burns with a head kick. I was in the gym with a Cung Le trained woman who were doing heavy bag work. She was hitting the bag so hard that entire gym was shaking. @CaliStunna: Thanks for the Cung Le pointer! Looks like he is playing Martial Law in the Tekken movie.
