G.I. Joe-Transformers crossover film rumored [1]

['Devin Nealy']

Date: 2023-05-28

According to Comic Book Resources, Paramount is finally ready to pull the trigger on a G.I. Joe and Transformer crossover movie.

Somewhere around 2014, every film studio was looking to invest in their own "cinematic universe." The unparalleled success of the Marvel cinematic universe caused every studio in Hollywood to comb through their library of intellectual properties to see if they could smash two ill-fitting franchises together to maximize profits.

When the history books are written, the "cinematic universe era" will most likely be regarded as the gold rush that wasn't, as almost every studio that attempted to ape the MCU formula fell flat. Some cinematic universe couldn't even make it out of the proverbial gates. However, even though it was starting to seem like the gathering storm clouds of endless cinematic universes were just about to break, Paramount is rumored to be in the middle of a rain dance, as the studio is working on a Transformers and G.I. Joe crossover film. Hopefully, Paramount will lean on the decades of great comic books dedicated to this specific team-up, but something tells me that they probably won't.
