Summary
Danny McBride is developing a new G.I. Joe movie centered on the character Duke, but clarifies it will not be a comedy despite his reputation for comedic work on shows like The Righteous Gemstones and Eastbound & Down. McBride describes the film as a character-driven military action movie in the vein of classic 1970s war films, focusing on Duke's origin story and his journey from a nobody to a leader. The project is still in early development with no director attached yet.

· 3 pulledI think the thing that I'm most excited about is that it's a character piece. It's not a comedy. It's a military action movie.
It's about a guy who's a nobody, who becomes a leader. It's about a guy who's not necessarily the smartest or the strongest, but he's the most determined.
I want it to feel like a 1970s war movie. I want it to feel gritty and real and grounded.
