You may remember that last month our own SilverOptimus brought us word that Akiva Goldsman Is To Lead A Writers Team For Upcoming G. I. Joe Movies. Thanks to The Hollywould Reporter, we now have word on the other brands that will apparently reside alongside G.I.Joe in this new movie universe. Those brands include Microauts, Visionairies, M.A.S.K. and ROM, Space Knight (?). From THR:
Paramount Pictures and Hasbro are embarking on a new universe of interrelated characters and stories. The studio — which is already in the process of expanding its Transformers universe after four movies based on that popular Hasbro toy line — is announcing a new deal with Hasbro on Tuesday that will see Paramount and Allspark Pictures, Hasbro’s film label, build an interconnected, cross-property onscreen universe, featuring characters from five of Hasbro’s other brands: G.I. Joe, Micronauts, Visionairies, M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and ROM.
This scenario points to Hasbro’s Unit-E initiative, which we initially reported on 4 years ago at NYCC. To refresh your memory, we’ve mirrored some of the scans we shared back then with this story. So, what are your thoughts? Do you think the likes of Micronauts, Visionairies, M.A.S.K, ROM and G.I.Joe all fit within the same universe, or do you think individual attention should be paid to our beloved Modern Army Action Figure? Sound off after the break!

Sounds like great news. I guess only time will tell how this is going to work out for the Joe franchise but I for one am optimistic anyway.

Fantastic! I'm just glad to hear of some movement on that front.

So who are these people? Are the comic book writers? What else have they done? Does mean we have to wait until 2018 for GIJ3? Will we get another 2 years of 50th product then? If so, hopefully they will release the rest of the concept case figures and vehicles.
