Warning: Movie Spoiler!

Spoiler:

During the press conference for the world premiere of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (ROTB), director Steven Caple Jr., and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura revealed the end-credit scene of the movie.

Following the world-saving event of ROTB, the aforementioned scene depicts the movie’s human protagonist, Noah Diaz, being approached to be recruited to G.I. Joe.

Prior to the press conference, the same scene was leaked through a TV Spot but the context was missing due to the cut.

Noah Diaz, played by Anthony Ramos, is an ex-military electronics expert who lives with his family in Brooklyn. At the start of the movie, the audience finds him to be dishonorably discharged from the military. After befriending Autobot Mirage, the robot gives him an advanced exo-suit to join the battle against Scourge and his Terrorcons.

This scene directly ties to the recent rumor of the Transformers X G.I. Joe movie.

It is unclear how the story will play out in the future. But we look forward to interesting developments.

    Big, if true.

    Maybe not from an artistic aspirations standpoint, but certainly from a desperate attempt to regain relevancy standpoint. Especially if Rise of the Beasts ultimately ends up exceeding its low box office expectations.

    Also, if Paramount could add Michael Keaton in the dual role of both General Hawk and Batman, they might really be onto something.

    Not my ideal version of GI Joe by a long shot, but I will take it if it helps get Joe back into a major media project.

    Are they going to recast? There's probably a line in The Rock's contract that stipulates no good guy can be bigger than him and Optimus Prime is going to look funny as a Tonka truck. Would prefer they went animated with this, but...no one called for my opinion.

    Me either, but my only exposure to JOE and Transformers crossovers has been



    and given this will be a Di Bonaventura Production I'm not particularly optimistic that it will be any good.

    Mini poll within a thread:

    If you could not achieve both and had to choose - would you rather a GI Joe-related movie be good (whatever your definition of that may be) or would you rather it generate cultural interest and mass-market appeal for the brand?

    That's one way to boost GI Joe's box office presence: tie it in to an actually successful film franchise.

    Hope it doesn't accidentally sink Transformers.

    Definitely the latter. If the interest is high, Joe is a varied storytelling universe. If we had the popular interest, in time, we could get the sorts of movies/shows that we might enjoy specifically.

    However, both are achievable, I think. And I may go so far as to say the biggest issue with the Tatum-verse is the attempt to create the latter resulted in no consideration of the former.

    The MCU has established that you can both respect your core audience (in this case, pre-existing Joe fans, whether its the cartoons, comics, or toys themselves) and appeal to "outsiders" if you prioritize quality and thoughtfulness. So, I don't think you can get the mass appeal without it being "good".

    This probably should have been the original Transformers live action. All those military guys could have been Joes.

    Seems like a way for Hasbro to try and boost GI Joe sales by tying it to Transformers ala the recent O-Rings. Makes me wonder if Joe isn't doing as well as they hoped the lines would, especially with them torching two of the four lines in 3 years.

    How would a toy line even work? 2" Joes to go with 6" Transformers? 6" both scales and they'd just never really interact in a display?
