We finally have some good news for fans of the G.I. Joe franchise because it's been revealed today that the writer of Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast movie Evan Spiliotopoulos is in talks to pen a standalone movie for Snake Eyes. The Wrap claims that he's actually working on G.I. Joe 3 but The Hollywood Reporter is adamant that Snake Eyes is being developed and they're the safer bet.
The first two G.I. Joe movies were met with mixed to negative reviews from fans and critics alike and neither performed as strongly at the box office as Paramount Pictures probably would have liked.
For those of you unfamiliar with Snake Eyes, he first appeared in the 1980s during Hasbro and Marvel's relaunch of the toyline. He never speaks or shows his face (which will make casting the character interesting) and his archenemy is Storm Shadow, a ninja who just so happens to be his brother. He also has a pet wolf known as Timber and it will be really interesting seeing him get the spotlight here.
Then again, it sounds like the project is in the very early stages of development so time will tell!
