I think the 3rd should be more of a stand-alone film. They tied up stuff from Rise of Cobra, now it's time to move on. They can bring back a bunch of key characters of course, like Roadblock and Cobra Commander. But ROC and Retaliation had a kind of "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace" sequel feel. Now it's time for a new story. I like that they had a voice over with visuals for the update in Retaliation. They can continue that with the next film.

Use comics/ novels to clear up things from the 1st two movies. Third Movie: New Mission, New Characters. I don't want the Movies to be where Hasbro's constantly releasing the same characters over and over. How long have we been complaining about the constant Cobra Commander, Duke, Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow?

Who else here wants to see Cobra Island in the third film?.....I know when Cobra Commander was talking about the Zues project he was on Cobra Island...but to actually see it!!! That would be killer!

I think the ending is PERFECT for a cartoon to pick up and continue the story, bridge between the two movies.
Cartoon would show Colton/Roadblock/Flint/LJ/SE/Jinx recruiting and rebuilding the Joe team well CC and Cobra go on and do Cobra-y things. Introduce Bludd, the Twins, Scrap Iron, etc.. into the movieverse. Plenty of ability to create new toys, characters. Leave it open-ended enough that can fit seamlessly with whatever new movie plot ends up being.

This thread is already full of spoilers, but just because I know how the tank is lately:
*SPOILERS* One of the last lines in RoC was the Commanders saying "Nanomites, the perfect healer" to Destro. And then Zartan pretty much sliced his face open in front of the President, just to have it reconstruct. So, I'm pretty sure Zartan will be back in the third. Possibly the same thing with Duke, his body wasn't blown into pieces, he looked pretty in tact when RockBlock pulled his tags, so maybe CoCo had his men retrieve the body since this is still in the same universe where Rex has history with Duke. |

I think they have plenty of areas to kick off to with another film. I think a key plot point SHOULD be the rebuilding of Joe. But I see two solid idea to build from: 1. My general plot idea is that either Destro (rescued from prison at some point) or his son (which would allow recasting) plot with the "true" Baroness (the sister of Baron de Cobray, murdered by Storm Shadow in RoC) plot together to take revenge on both Joe AND Cobra for what happened in RoC and Retaliation, allowing them to create a loose "trilogy" for the brand. 2. Another angle would be in Cobra "going personal" and attacking friends/family of Roadblock and Storm Shadow for revenge on stopping his global domination plans. It could even be used to "sideline" Roadblock and Storm Shadow (and maybe Jinx) to allow the film to focus on Flint and his team of "raw" GI Joe recruits and Snake Eyes with his new student, Kamakura. Would also allow Cobra to use Major Bludd and some ninja mercenaries (Nightcreepers, Black Dragon, take your pick) and continue the "split to convergence" angle that worked in Retaliation (two separate arcs that come together in a grand finale, in classic Joe fashion) 3. If the powers that be REALLY wanted Duke back...I think it could be done. Maybe have CC "tweak" his mind upon his resurrection (or say he was simply "critically wounded" in the attack). And use him to act out a revenge plot similar to above. The issue here is that the film then becomes a big Duke/Roadblock vehicle with less opportunity to focus on the new recruits.

My personal hope is that the next movie is about Cobra Island.
I hope/wish that they work with any potential cartoon (which I hope/wish/expect to be happening). A new nation is formed, not called Cobra Island, and applies for UN membership. Once gained, CC reveals that it's his island and base and starts selling weapons to the highest bidders since he got rid of the nukes (I like the idea someone posted about terrordromes). The Joes suspect there's more behind it then the surface and want to attack but because of the new status of Cobra Island and politics, they can't. So they go rogue. Turns out the terror dromes have the mind control/fear inducing wave generators from the comics. Joes end up saving the day.

I think having Zartan 'heal' up and forming the Drednoks could be a potential route. Show him 'healing' from the sword wound while also suffering from some kind of nano-mite 'sickness' that could explain his appearance and allergy to the the sun. Have him in seclusion hanging with a bunch of bikers who handle stuff for Zartan.
Keep zartan in the shadows for the beginning of the film. Modernize his look and include his racoon eyes. I liked what Chu and company did with G.I.Joe so I'm sure they'll craft a worthy sequel.
