Despite being pushed from a summer 2012 release to March 29th, 2013, Paramount's G.I. Joe: Retaliation has been a success at the box office. The sequel has grossed $365M worldwide, ahead of 2009's The Rise Of Cobra (which made just over $300M globally). Shortly after Retaliation's release, it was confirmed that a third installment in the franchise based on the hit Hasbro toyline was in development. Now, according to Deadline, Retaliation director Jon M. Chu is in talks with Paramount and MGM to helm G.I. Joe 3. Additionally, Skydance Productions will return as Paramount's financing partner, and the studio is meeting with four writers to tackle the job. A scribe should be locked down soon. Chu is also attached to direct a Masters Of The Universe reboot for Sony, but it's currently unknown if he'll work on another Joe before journeying to Eternia.
