However, it was quickly decided that it should be split into two films, the first one focusing on Rain Man & Eagle Claw and the second on Eagle Claw & Storm Gale. *The Rain Maker* was set for a 2007 release while *Eagle Claw* would release the following year. During development on *The Rain Maker*, writers hired to work on the film pitched films based on new characters the Blue Dragon and Deathbringer, both of which were then rushed into development alongside *The Rain Maker*.

*The Rain Maker* was released on March 23, 2007 to mixed reviews which saw development on subsequent films halted to allow the studio the time to develop stronger films. *Eagle Claw* and the untitled Deathbringer film were both postponed indefinitely while it was decided that *The Blue Dragon* would be the studio's next film, set to be released in late 2009. Films based on Purple Thunder, Captain Evergreen and Jackal were also put into active development without concrete release dates.

*The Blue Dragon* was released on May 15, 2009 to mixed-to-positive reviews but grossed $267M at the box office against a production budget of only $2M, encouraging Raydon Studios to greenlight a sequel just two months later that would introduce the Red Dragon. Production began on *Purple Thunder* while *Eagle Claw* was given a spring 2010 release date. *Captain Evergreen* was announced as the final film before the release of the long awaited *Justice Fighters* film, with *Rain Maker 2* expected to release between *Eagle Claw* and *Justice Fighters*.

*Purple Thunder* was then released on April 16, 2010 to mostly positive reviews. *Eagle Claw: Storm* was released after multiple delays on August 6, 2010 to positive reviews, with fans and critics praising the performances of Eagle Claw and Storm Gale. A sequel as well as a spin-off film were both greenlit, with both set to be released after the *Justice Fighters* film.

*The Jackal* and *Captain Evergreen* were then released in 2012 with *Justice Fighters* scheduled for 2013. The crossover film was pushed to 2014 while *Rain Maker 2* would take over the 2013 release date.
