'Snow White' Writer Evan Daugherty Penning G.I. Joe 3

With Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick moving on from G.I. Joe: Retaliation to the waiting-in-limbo comic book adaptation of characters Deadpool and Venom, production for G.I. Joe 3 will bring screenwriter Evan Daugherty on board. The report from THR comes in roughly three months after director Jon M. Chu announced the film back in July with Retaliation co-stars Bruce Willis and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson confirmed to return, while a writer was still being “narrowed down”.


G.I. Joe: Retaliation premiered on March 29, 2013, nine months after its release date in which Chu decided the film needed a “conscientious” 3D conversion. Evidently, Retaliation, and its predecessor, G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra, earned well over $600 million dollars at the box office despite the word of critics, with Rotten Tomatoes handing the first and second film a 34% and 28% rating, respectively.

Daugherty‘s latest writing credits include the Rupert Sanders-directed Snow White And The Huntsman, for which a sequel has been announced with David Koepp penning the screenplay. Daugherty also penned Mark Steven Johnson’s July 2013 home release of the survival thriller, Killing Season, in addition to next year’s release of the sci-fi action adventure, Divergent, and the forthcoming August 2014 U.S. release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

More casting and release news awaits for G.I. Joe 3. In the meantime, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be starring in next year’s releases of Hercules: The Thracian Wars and Fast And Furious 7. While Bruce Willis will be in New Orleans for a villain-role in the October shoot for director Sark Andreasyan’s upcoming crime thriller, The Prince.

In addition, Chu is also tapped to bring fantasy swordplay actioner, Masters Of The Universe back to the big screen until further notice.
