Det originale planer for filmen G.I Joe 3 var i sin tid ganske... mærkelige. Åbenbart skulle D.J. Caruso have instrueret filmen, men han valgte i stedet at lave xXx: Return of Xander Cage, og angiveligvis arbejdede Caruso og Michael Bay sammen om at lave filmen til et crossover imellem G.I Joe og Transformers.
Caruso har for nylig åbnet om processen til Collider, at selvom ideen om samarbejdet var ganske interessant, så var Paramount ikke helt klar til en film af den kaliber:
"They're not ready to do G.I. Joe meets Transformers yet. That's exactly what they should do, but they're not ready to do that because, in fact, the script that I was developing, the two worlds sort of collided at the end, and when they read it they were like, 'We're not ready to do this yet.' They will eventually collide those two worlds, and it's probably when Mr. Bay decides he's done with Transformers."
Cariso siger afslutningsvis at det var meget tæt på at blive en realitet:
"It came close to happening, but I think what the studio was trying to do was reassess it and so now they're back to the drawing board, and we'll be talking again about it. It's a valuable franchise, it's not that they didn't get it right, they just wanna really get it right and see if they can push it to the next level."
