This isn’t just another sequel churned out to keep a franchise alive. It’s a calculated, fan-fueled mashup. You’ve got Derek Connolly yeah, the guy behind Jurassic World writing the script, and heavy hitters like Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Michael Bay producing, with Spielberg himself as executive producer. That’s not just a team, that’s a Hollywood dream squad. Expect huge set pieces, sharp storytelling, and probably more explosions than you can count.

If you caught Rise of the Beasts, you might remember Agent Burke casually trying to recruit Noah into G.I. Joe. At the time, it felt like a small wink. Now, we know it was more of a loud knock on the door. That single moment just cracked the universe wide open, paving the way for a full-blown crossover. It’s smart, really it makes this movie feel like a natural step, not just a gimmick.

Here’s the thing no one’s carving a date into the calendar yet, but 2026 is the target. With Hasbro and Paramount both making strategic shifts lately, that timing gives the filmmakers space to make it as polished as it needs to be. And honestly, with something this big, you don’t want it rushed.

The casting door is still wide open, but word is Chris Hemsworth’s name is in the mix. He’s got the action chops and the kind of screen presence you need when you’re sharing scenes with giant alien robots and a squad of elite soldiers. Whoever they lock in will have to balance grit, charisma, and just enough swagger to make this crossover feel as epic as fans are hoping.
