Deadline reports that the studio has also put him in charge of developing Micronauts, its upcoming potential franchise based on the classic toy line from the ’70s. Joe isn’t the only other Hasbro toy-inspired franchise that Paramount has assigned to Goldsman. Either way, it looks like moviegoers can expect several more installments from G.I.

It’s unclear whether Goldsman has been tasked with coming up with ideas for more direct sequels or actually rebooting the franchise, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if Paramount considered the latter option - especially since star Channing Tatum didn’t seem all too eager to return to the series earlier this summer. Now, it looks like Paramount is hoping to get the franchise back on track, with Goldsman’s help. Joe series basically stalled out after only one widely panned sequel, Retaliation, in 2013. After initially kicking off in 2009, the G.I.

It makes sense, as the studio has been struggling to figure out where to take the franchise for a while now. Joe, a decision backed by Hasbro and producers Steven Spielberg, Michael Bay, Don Murphy, and Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Though the first of the newly conceived movies has yet to actually start production, it seems Paramount already considers the writers’ room experiment to be a success and is eager to repeat it with more of their franchises.Īccording to Deadline, the studio has brought the Oscar-winning Goldsman ( A Beautiful Mind) back to supervise a second writers’ room for G.I. In October, the studio confirmed that the team had managed to plot out the next 10 years of the series, from next year’s Transformers 5 through the planned Transformers 8. Paramount first put the Goldsman-led incubator of writers together back in March, with the hopes that they’d conceptualize enough potential sequels and spin-offs to turn Transformers into its own shared film universe, similar to that of Marvel’s superhero worlds. After Paramount’s writers room experiment led by Avika Goldsman spurred at least three movie ideas to extend Transformers, the studio has decided to employ the same tactic for another of its toy-inspired series: G.I. Joe movie franchise may be getting several more sequels.
