Danny McBride announced details of a new G.I. Joe film, stating that it will be a suspenseful action picture and that production is planned for 2027. McBride, a comedian and co‑writer of the recent Halloween trilogy with director David Gordon Green, said he has completed a script that Paramount has approved. He described the story as following Duke and other Joes in the town of Springfield, which is secretly controlled by the Cobra organization. McBride added that several actors are in talks to star in the film. He emphasized his long‑standing interest in the G.I. Joe franchise and noted that he had previously pitched a Dreadnoks‑focused project before being asked to develop a proper G.I. Joe movie. The previous live‑action G.I. Joe film, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, was released in 2013, and a 2021 Snake Eyes movie failed to meet box‑office expectations. A teaser for a G.I. Joe crossover in the latest Transformers movie remains unrealized. The film could be released as early as 2028 if production proceeds smoothly, though an official release date has not been set.
