TRANSFORMERS/G.I. JOE Crossover Project Rumored To Be In The Works After Insider Claims "It's Happening"

For years, fans have made their interest in a Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover movie known, but if one reliable insider is to be believed, the project is finally starting to take shape at Paramount Pictures.

The next instalment of the Transformers franchise, Rise of the Beasts, rolls out into theaters on June 8. Bumblebee served as a solid reboot for the series after Michael Bay's divisive efforts, but this chapter promises to combine the best of both approaches to these characters in order to deliver what Paramount no doubt hopes will be the first of a new slate of titles.

However, the studio may be about to take the property in an unexpected (and exciting) direction. 

According to reliable insider @MyTimeToShineH (via SFFGazette.com), a Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover is finally in the works. As you can see below, the scooper shared the cover artwork of an Image Comics comic event from 2003 along with the caption, "It's happening."

2021's Snake Eyes was a flop, and the prior G.I. Joe movies failed to impress fans and critics alike. With that in mind, throwing those characters into an adventure alongside Optimus Prime and company is arguably the best way to bring that struggling property to a place where it can find box office success. 

After all, it's impossible to imagine a crossover being anything other than a hit, though with nothing confirmed by the stuidio, take this rumour with a pinch of salt for now.

It's unclear where this will fit into Paramount's larger plans for Transformers. An animated prequel starring Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson, Transformers One, is slated for a September 13, 2024 release. We can't imagine the G.I. Joe characters are going to appear there, so here's hoping this will be a live-action movie. 

Any ideas Paramount likely had for G.I. Joe must have gone out the window when Snake Eyes bombed and it would be an uphill battle to get people back into theaters to watch any of those characters take centre stage. However, should they battle it out alongside or against fan-favourite Autobots and Decepticons, then that might lead to an eventual revival outside of Transformers

As always, you'll want to keep checking back here for updates.

Crossovers with unestablished IPs are meaningless. Which is why it was meaningless to have Snyder's Superman meet Batman and Wonder Woman Who were not established. So this is minor news. It's not even worthy to report.

A GI Joe movie directed by Favreau and Glen Powell playing Duke would be perfect.

Why not make it the Transformers vs. Fast & Furious vs. G.I. Joe ?

Then you could combine all of the stupidest & worst of these huge trash franchises. They might make twice their money back just selling toys and other merch.

Then the sequel:

Transformers vs. F&F vs. G.I. Joe on Jurassic Park Island.

I have no desire to see the Joes and Transformers together. I was never a fan of it even as a kid.

Do find it interesting you've used a cover from Transformers UK for the banner image though...
