After nearly four decades, the Transformers and G.I.
Joe will finally crossover on the big screen.
During the ’80s, Hasbro treated the G.I.
Now, the crossover is finally going to take place on the big screen.
ViaSlashFilm, Paramount formally announced the Transformers and G.I.
Joe crossover movie at CinemaCon.
The news isn’t too surprising given that G.I.
Joe was referenced in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
Steven Spielberg will produce the crossover movie, which doesn’t currently have a release date or a director.
Earlier this year, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura hinted that a Transformers/G.I.
Joe crossover moviecould arrive as soon as 2026.
He also shed some light on the approach to the film.
People keep talking about crossover.
Paramount’s last few Transformers films have underperformed since launching the live-action franchise in 2007.
However, the Transformers have fared better than G.I.
Joe, which has only managed to get three live-action films to date.
The most recent movie, Snake-Eyes: G.I.
Joe Origins, was a box office bomb.
Since then, crossovers between the two were published by Devil’s Due, DreamWave Productions, and IDW.
Beyond those crossovers, IDW attempted to create a shared comic book universe that featured G.I.
Joe and Transformers alongside some of Hasbro’s other properties including Rom, Micronauts, and Visionaries.
More recently, Robert Kirkman’s Skybound has started a new Energon Universe for Transformers and G.I.
Joe through Image Comics.
