Take these rumors as just that -- unsubstantiated chatter -- until we receive further word, but if they prove true then G.I. Joe 3 could end up being a crossover movie. And, no, not with the Transformers.

According to Film Divider , "Matt Trakker will be stepping up onto the big screen. he was the lead character of MASK, or Mobile Armoured Strike Kommand, a Kenner toy line and cartoon from the ‘80s. ... Trakker joining GI Joe suggests that MASK will be introduced either in this film, set up for a sequel, or possibly be established for their own spin-off. It’s easy to see why Hasbro and Paramount would like this idea."As the site reminds us, there is a precedent for a G.I. Joe-M.A.S.K. crossover after the Trakker character was reintroduced as a Joe mission specialist following Hasbro's purchase of Kenner. If you don't recall, M.A.S.K. ran from 1985-86 and was essentially a hybrid of two other wildly popular 1980s toy-cartoon franchises, G.I. Joe and Transformers, with a special task forces who used transforming vehicles to fight the evil organization V.E.N.O.M.But that's not all, Joe fans. Film Divider also claims the main villains of G.I. Joe 3 will be Tomax and Xamot, the identical twin terrorists (well, Xamot had a scar on his cheek) who also served as Cobra's Crimson Guard Commanders. In the Renegades continuity, Tomax and Xamot also had psychic powers.It was recently reported that Disturbia and Eagle Eye director D.J. Caruso was in the running to helm G.I. Joe 3, which is expected to open in 2016.
