G.I. Joe (film series)

G.I. Joe is a series of military science fiction action films, based on Hasbros G.I. Joe toy, comic and media franchises. Development for the first film began in 2003, but when the United States launched the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, Hasbro suggested adapting the Transformers instead. In 2009, the first film was released under the title, G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra. A second film, G.I. Joe Retaliation was released in 2013. A third film in the series has been confirmed to be in early development, and a possible crossover with the Transformers franchise is being considered.
