Later on, fans simply lost their minds when producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who is also tied to the Transformers franchise reported that he is looking forward to Transformers and G.I. Joe crossover. This potential crossover might finally open the opportunity for Dwayne Johnson to star in the $5.2B franchise he lost to Mark Wahlberg.

Both Transformers and the G.I. Joe franchise have earned a massive fanbase and appreciation for years.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts‘ ending undoubtedly surprised fans since it opened the idea of Optimus Prime and the Autobots crossing paths with the G.I. Joe in a future project. Apart from this, in 2013 after the release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura expressed being open to the idea of doing a G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover.

Even Jon M. Chu shared his decision to make a third G.I. Joe movie, where Dwayne Johnson expressed his desire to reprise his role as Roadblock, via IGN. But unfortunately, with Chu getting busy with Snow White and the Huntsman, Johnson revealed that the chances of a third installment got reduced. But currently, after Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, it seems a crossover is definite, whether or not a third G.I. Joe movie gets made.

Will Dwayne Johnson Return in The Potential Crossover? 

Following the update shared by Transformers: Rise of the Beasts director Steven Caple Jr. and franchise producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura about a crossover via EW, fans seem to question if Dwayne Johnson will return. Although the actor expressed his desire to return as Roadblock in the potential third installment, he didn’t open up about appearing in the crossover.

But we can only hope that Dwayne Johnson returns to the G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover, as Roadblock. Johnson’s return will not only excite fans to see him on the big screen in his epic role but also allow the actor to finally be in a Transformers film. Apparently, Johnson was initially eyed for a role in the $5.2B franchise. But unfortunately, at that time he was busy with another project.

Working on Hercules, at that time, Dwayne Johnson had to abandon the Transformers project. The role later went to Mark Wahlberg who played Cade Yeager. Thus, currently with the ongoing news of a crossover, it seems Johnson might finally have the opportunity to appear in the franchise that he turned down years ago.
