Danny McBride gave fans a fresh update on his long-awaited G.I. Joe movie during a recent appearance on the Happy sad confused podcast ,and it sounds like the project is making real progress.
While talking with host Josh Horowitz, McBride said the script has already been completed and that he’s hoping production can begin sometime next year if everything falls into place. Although the film is still in development, he sounded genuinely excited about where things stand. McBride also shared that G.I. Joe was a huge part of his childhood, saying it was the franchise he gravitated toward growing up. That personal connection is one of the main reasons he wanted to bring the property back to the big screen.
McBride also addressed expectations about the film’s tone. Even though he’s known for comedy, he said this won’t be a humorous take on G.I. Joe. Instead, he wants to make a straight action movie with suspense, while staying faithful to what fans have loved about the franchise for years. He added that several actors have already shown interest in the project, though no casting decisions have been announced.
The update didn’t reveal a release date or any major production details, but it did reassure fans that the movie is still alive. For now, McBride’s comments on the Happy Sad Confused podcast offer the clearest sign yet that his vision for G.I. Joe is continuing to move in the right direction, even if audiences will have to wait a little longer to see it come to life
