Background

[edit]

On March 28, 2013, during the release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Lorenzo di Bonaventura stated that he was open to doing a G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover.[1] On July 26, 2013, G.I. Joe: Retaliation director Jon M. Chu stated that he was also interested in directing a Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover film.[2] Despite di Bonaventura having previously stated on June 23, 2014 that a crossover was not likely to happen,[3] he later reassured that a crossover was still a possibility.[4]

In January 2017, D.J. Caruso revealed that a previous draft of the script for the in development G.I. Joe: Ever Vigilant ended with the introduction of the Transformers. This was not approved by Paramount Pictures.[5][6] di Bonaventura explained that Paramount was hesitant to green-light production on the crossover, though he did state that the project was "inevitable".[7][8]

Development

[edit]

In April 2024, during CinemaCon, Paramount officially announced a crossover film between Transformers and G.I. Joe.[9] In June 2024, it was announced that Derek Connolly would write the script.[10]

Casting

[edit]

In July 2021, Henry Golding expressed interest in doing the crossover, after portraying Snake Eyes in the 2021 film.[11] In May 2024, Chris Hemsworth was in talks to star in the film, after previously voicing Optimus Prime in Transformers One (2024).[12]
