If Ken Lashley was doing anything at all for Hasbro, it certainly would not be for the G.I. Joe brand.
The Hasbro corporate site only mentions G.I. Joe (still using the Retaliation film logo design) not as any franchise or partner brand, but as an Emerging Brand (but not in the New Brands set (Power Rangers, Stretch Armstrong, MASK, Micronauts, or Hana Zuki) but with the Challenger Brands (Littlest Pet Shop, FurReal, Playskool Heroes, and Furby). The Hasbro Pulse site makes no mention of the existence of the brand G.I. Joe by category, series, or vendor. Even the sight search engine cannot understand the words "G.I. Joe" or "Cobra". Hasbro's automated phone recordings still tell people to go to Hasbro Toy Shop to see and purchase product. When I notified Hasbro customer service, they didn't even seem to care about that. Hasbro advertised that they were accepting applications for a G.I. Joe/Micronauts brand manager in November of 2018, but nothing came of that. I have checked with Hasbro approximately every few months, calling both the Rhode Island and California offices, but nobody has any knowledge of anyone ever being hired to that position. Today, Hasbro remains without any G.I. Joe brand team or employee working on any future products for that brand. That seemed odd to me if the Hasbro Universe Writer's Room, in partnership with Paramount Studios, was intending to create a G.I. Joe 3 movie for March 2020, but that film has been placed on hiatus indefinately. Reasonably, the G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes film might be expected to take it's release date, but now that has been delayed as well. Although Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner recently said that there will be a G.I. Joe film in 2020, I can't help but to wonder if he misspoke about that. This morning (6/05/2019) I received my most recent response from Hasbro: "...Thank you for your patience regarding your inquiry. Currently, we do not have a GI Joe team as the product has been out of production for a few years. GI Joe is currently not in production, we do not have a timeframe when the brand will re-emerge..."
