"G.I. Joe 3" Will Hit Theaters in 2016 and Feature Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Roadblock Once Again, While Featuring Some Much-Demanded Fan-Favorite Characters 

A date has finally been revealed for the release of the film "G.I. Joe 3." It will be hitting screens sometime in 2016, although we do not yet know exactly what date we will get to see it. Plans for the film are already being made, as Jonathan Lemkin has already been signed by Paramount to write the film's script.

"G.I. Joe: Retaliation" director Jon M. Chu will not be returning to direct the third installment, due to his commitment to the filming of "Now You See Me 2." Paramount is now looking for the perfect replacement director to fill his shoes. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura had nothing but good things to say about their search. "We're just starting [to talk to directors].  We're negotiating with a writer right now, and once we close that deal-which should be any moment-then we'll have a story locked down.  I'm really excited about it," Bonaventura told press in an official statement.

Both "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra" and "Retaliation" received mixed reviews from critics, despite doing fairly well at the box office. One favorable decision that seemed to agree with everyone was casting Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Roadblock. Of course, Di Bonaventura and the rest of the production team intend to play upon that. The producer said,  "The last movie was really the set up, in a way, for Roadblock to take over.  Dwayne came aboard a little late last time so we weren't able to do everything I think we can do this time, and really get a story that services what the audience expects out of him, and also as an actor pushes him into areas that you wouldn't normally explore in a big franchise movie perhaps."

The only other detail we have confirmed about the film is that it will feature many characters that have been much-demanded by the G.I. Joe fanbase, although Di Bonaventura is keeping mum about it for now.

You can head to the theater in 2016 to find out if your favorite character will feature in the third installment in the franchise.
