'It's Not a Comedy' — Danny McBride Reveals New Details About His Upcoming G.I. Joe Movie, Aiming to Film in 2027
McBride says the script is finished, Paramount is supportive, and several actors are in talks as the film aims for a straight suspenseful action story.
- Danny McBride confirmed he is writing a new G.I. Joe film, describing the project as a suspenseful action movie rather than a comedy. The ensemble piece will follow Duke and a group of Joes.
- McBride initially pitched a Dreadnoks movie to Paramount, but the studio requested a proper G.I. Joe revival to relaunch the franchise. He subsequently developed the concept.
- The story takes place in Springfield, a fictional town from the comics secretly controlled by Cobra. McBride noted that "interesting" people are currently in talks to star in the film.
- Paramount is happy with the completed script, and the studio plans to shoot the film next year. McBride worked with fellow Righteous Gemstones writers to develop the concept.
- Drawing on experience from the 2018 Halloween reboot, McBride previously collaborated with director David Gordon Green, which was highly successful. The Hasbro franchise seeks its first proper film since 2013's poorly-received G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
