After 2007’s Transformers grew to become an enormous field workplace hit, Hasbro would pull from one other of their in style properties that additionally had a place in popular culture with an 80s cartoon — G.I. Joe. However, G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra wouldn’t do the form of numbers that Transformers had introduced in, and the type was surprisingly geared extra in the direction of the Michael Bay movie with some sci-fi twists quite than a extra straight-forward army fight film with colorfully eccentric characters. The sequel, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, would provide extra of what many would come to count on from the property and had truly grow to be extra profitable commercially (largely due to Dwayne Johnson‘s star power).
Then, 2021 saw a sort of prequel spin-off of one of the most popular characters from the franchise with the solo film Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. Henry Golding, who shot up to fame with the success of Crazy Rich Asians, would occupy the role of the famously silent ninja soldier. Snake Eyes opened during the height of the pandemic and would fizzle with a box office of just over $40 million dollars. However, According to ScreenRant, Golding recently sat down with ComicBook.com to offer some hope for those looking forward to more Snake Eyes.
Golding told ComicBook.com,
I mean, Lorenzo di Bonaventura is a busy man and a phenomenal producer, and it’s in protected palms. Whatever occurs, I believe it’s going to be a mixture of what has come and what’s to come back. I believe Paramount have some grand, grand plans.”
Since Snake Eyes, the studio has been in a position to stream authentic content material on Paramount Plus, so if there isn’t a theatrical movie, a sequence or streaming authentic could possibly be potential. Plus, there was that little easter egg tease on the finish of the recent Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which featured the primary character being interviewed for a secret organization that turned out to be the Joes. Steven Caple Jr., the director of that movie, addressed, “I had to talk to all the producers and let them know the vision or direction I was going in. I didn’t know all of it at the moment when I had first pitched it or when they first read it, but throughout the process of making this movie, it started to get deeper and deeper. So I knew a little bit more of the direction I wanted to go in with the Joes, but the studio was on board since the beginning. It just took a while to get all the parties on board and settled.”
