After largely being absent from the news, G.I. Joe recently surprised everyone when they were introduced in Transformers: Rise of the Beast.


Looking at the current development of the Joe franchise, it is even more exciting as both the Transformers and the soldiers would be shown being aware of each other's existence and that of their technology. 

Per Comicbook.com, Rise of the Beasts director Steven Caple Jr. had mentioned that he would like to go for a new arc in the G.I.Joe franchise instead of focusing on “classic characters like Snake Eyes and Duke.” 

Caple Jr. mentioned the famous G.I. Joe: Renegades and a few more branches of the highly acclaimed comic series that he would like to go for next. 

While shedding light on the G.I. Joe universe, Caple Jr. also mentioned that, as seen in the graphic novels of Transformers, there are a lot of other planets besides Earth. Hence, if they plan on going for “movie number eight and nine and ten,” he would figure out a way to reach those storylines.
