The American military science fiction action film ‘G.I. Joe’s is back with its third installment. The third film titled G.I. Joe: Ever Vigilant is confirmed and is under development. Also, there is a buzz of a spinoff film centered around Snakes Eyes to be released in early 2020.
G.I. Joe’s history of ups and downs:
G.I. Joe debuted in 2009 with a film titled G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra. A sequel also released in 2013 titled G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Although the audience disliked both of the films due to big names in the cast the franchise luckily grossed $675 million worldwide. Both the parts were poorly rated on IMDB and also on rotten tomatoes.
The first installment gained negative reviews as people thought of it being cartoonish and unrealistic action. The second installment being full of big names such as Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis was also subject to the same fate as the predecessor.
‘Chuckles’ to appear in spinoff film:
The buzz out there is that Paramount is also creating a mysterious spinoff film based on the character of ‘Chuckles.’ According to sources, the character of Chuckles first appeared in the Marvel Comics in 1987. Recently, Chuckles also appeared in the animated movie titled G.I. Joe: The Movie. Paramount didn’t drop any hint regarding ‘Chuckles.’ Paramount is also in talks with Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec to write a screenplay for the new
movie. The duo had written a screenplay for ‘Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.’ It is quite clear from these events that Paramount wants to leave no stones unturned in making this mysterious spinoff a blockbuster.
The question is that will the franchise be third time lucky or will it continue its fate. There is indeed a roller coaster ride coming in the fans’ way.
