As Hasbro prepares for yet another reboot of G.I. Joe, they are intent on targeting millennials this time around by involving soldiers that will appeal to a younger demographic. Simon Waters of Hasbro Studios stated,
“The world has changed, and I think you’re going to see G.I. Joe changing with it,” There’s going to be a much more contemporary approach to the whole franchise, and that will allow us to develop different characters. We hope to create a head snap. It’s a different kind of ‘Joe’ — one that still resonates with ‘Joe’ fans but brings in an uninitiated audience and expands the audience internationally and domestically.”
