'It's Not a Comedy' — Danny McBride Reveals New Details About His Upcoming G.I. Joe Movie, Aiming to Film in 2027

- The story takes place in Springfield, a fictional town from the comics secretly controlled by Cobra. McBride noted that "interesting" people are currently in talks to star in the film.
- Paramount is happy with the completed script, and the studio plans to shoot the film next year. McBride worked with fellow Righteous Gemstones writers to develop the concept.
