The latest Transformers movie, “Rise of the Beasts,” has been one of the biggest box office flops of this year. While many films have struggled in theaters during 2023, this has been one of the most surprising disappointments. However, the franchise is far from dying, and Paramount Pictures has an idea on how to revive it: through GI Joe.
The GI Joe brand of toys has already been featured in movies, with Dwayne Johnson as the protagonist, and in “Rise of the Beasts,” they had a brief cameo that makes it clear they coexist in the same Transformers world. That’s why Paramount wants to bring them together now: to create an epic showdown between both groups.

2026 seems to be the definitive date
Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the producer of “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” has made it clear in statements to The Direct about his plans for the future of this Transformers and GI Joe crossover movie. However, there isn’t much good news for fans:
“It’s a good question. We were about to start a script when the writer’s strike hit. So, our hope was to have it ready for 2025, but I think the longer the strike goes on, the more it puts the production in 2026.”
As a result, we’ll have to wait until the writer’s strike is resolved before progress can be made in this direction. Nonetheless, more details about the movie’s concept have started to emerge. Di Bonaventura explains:
“Just like in any other Transformers movie, the main ingredients are humans and robots teaming up to stop the villain. The Joes will be part of these ingredients now. We’re not going into the Joe world; they’re coming into our world. Now, we have to figure out the plot we want to make, etc., but they will be an active participant, so to speak. Some of the characters will try to stop the bad guy.”
