But there are still some unanswered questions about what exactly that “larger G.I. Joe universe” entails. Will it include the Stephen Sommers movie G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra? Will it incorporate the events of G.I. Joe: Retaliation? Or will it ignore those two feature films and instead serve as a bridge to Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, the upcoming movie that stars Henry Golding in the title role, and the planned follow-up film that is “not quite a sequel but rather an expansion to take audience goers deeper into the world of Joe”?
Lady Jaye was first introduced as part of the Joe squad in the 1984 animated series. As far as her skill set goes, it sounds like she’s G.I. Joe equivalent to Marvel’s Black Widow; the character’s Wikipedia page describes her as “Airborne and Ranger qualified, and an expert with the M-16, M-1911A1 auto pistol and reflex crossbow. She is also an accomplished actress and fluent in several languages. She has a knack for impersonation, right down to the subject’s voice and mannerisms.”
I personally have not thought about G.I. Joe: Retaliation since I saw it eight years ago, but if you want to – and I’m not necessarily recommending that you should! – you can watch this bizarre edit of several of Lady Jaye’s biggest moments from that film below:
