'G.I. Joe' 3 Movie Cast To Resurrect 'Magic Mike' Star Channing Tatum? All New Characters To Be Introduced While Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Takes Over

G.I. Joe 3 movie release date is set on 2016. While Paramount has yet to reveal the exact date for the third sequel it has been confirmed by Screen Rant that Paramount and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has tapped "Retaliation" director Jon Chu to come back for the third sequel along with a new writer.

In his interview with MTV the director somewhat made a hint that a once dead character named "Duke" played by "Magic Mike" cast Channing Tatum might return to the sequel following his death in a Cobra ambush.

"You never know, Storm Shadow died in the first one and came back in the second one, and then other characters have died and never come back. The G.I. Joe world, the best thing about it is you never know who's coming back and who's not."

Despite fairly earning at the box office worldwide, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Retaliation received divided reviews. In fact, many of Joe's solid fanbase did not like what was done to their favorite characters.

However, having cast Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Roadblock, earned the second sequel favorable remarks. Thus, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura intends to retain him and even give him a bigger role this time according to Screen Rant.

"The last movie was really the set up, in a way, for Roadblock to take over. Dwayne came aboard a little late last time so we weren't able to do everything I think we can do this time, and really get a story that services what the audience expects out of him, and also as an actor pushes him into areas that you wouldn't normally explore in a big franchise movie perhaps."

Di Bonaventura also revealed that G.I. Joe 3 movie release date will mark the debuts of a number of long-demanded characters he did not divulge any details though.

Concluding his interview with Screen Rant, di Bonaventura discussed the changes that the new creative team will work on to with the third installment of the Joe franchise, saying:

"The hardest thing in film, I think, is to reduce something to something simple. You want it to be smart, you want it to have all this complexity, you want to do all these things which sometimes makes it all so confusing. (...) This time we have a very clear, very defined, tight idea that I wish I had on every sequel I've ever worked on. Simple's the hardest to get to."
