Paramount's new strategy for G.I. Joe involves hiring Danny McBride and Max Landis to work on separate ideas involving the toy brand, with the studio planning to blend the two different scripts into a single one. McBride brings franchise experience from Halloween and The Exorcist reboots, while Landis returns following a 2019 investigation into abuse allegations.

The latest installment in the long-running franchise, directed by Christopher McQuarrie and featuring Tom Cruise, is this year's biggest Hollywood production showcased at the festival.
