G.I. Joe Retaliation director Jon M. Chu says G.I. Joe 3 is on-hold. The director recently took to Twitter and Facebook to chat about the film. One of the revelations was that Chu will make Jem and the Holograms before G.I. Joe 3 because that Joe script is “taking a little longer” than expected.
If this news does not tell the fan base what the future of G.I. Joe Toys looks like at retail “GRIM” over the next few years I don’t know what will. Very sad news, and very deflating for the G.I. Joe Brand name as a whole.
Truly Outrageous!Sound off on the HISSTANK.com forums and let us know what you think.

Told ya the movie wasn't anything to bank on. I can't wait for the spin on this.

Apparently it isn't just Hasbro that is soft on G.I. Joe but Paramount as well, otherwise Joe 3 would be on the development fast track in today's franchise movie strategy. Although a bigger hit overseas than ROC, it isn't as if Retaliation was a huge money maker after all of its costs and splits were accounted for.
I wouldn't be surprised if Paramount let this franchise go. If it isn't a huge draw now letting more years pass between another sequel will only result in smaller box office performance. The positive is possible reboot in 5 years.

The Toys are making no money at Retail so they are moving on, bottom line. The script would be ready if it was making the money it should be making. Don't be shocked if G.I. Joe 3 never becomes reality. Mark your calendar 3/21/14 the day G.I. Joe went on Hasbro Hiatus.

Mr. Chu, you have made us all very disappointed.
And this is all thanks to the TMNT writer.
Tell me one good thing about jem, mr. Chu.
Let's hope the writer picks his ass up and speeds things up.
Sorry for the mature language, I'm just very, very pissed at the moment.
I think my signature describes my thoughts and the communities.

The Joe brand has become one big self-fulfilling prophecy.
