Why We Don't Have A G.I. Joe 3 Yet

Unfortunately for the sequel, Johnson is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, and has been committing to projects like Fast 8, Baywatch, Jumanji, Doc Savage and more instead of the G.I. Joe series.

If the studio really wants/needs Johnson to be involved, it’s really no surprise that we haven’t heard an update on G.I. Joe 3 in a while.

Given that Dwayne Johnson earned the appropriate nickname “Franchise Viagra” right around the time of G.I. Joe: Retaliation’s release in 2013, it certainly makes plenty of sense that Paramount Pictures would want to wait until he would be available to play Roadblock again.
