“I’m doing Transformers… 5, is it?”
Even though Bay said he would not direct a possible “Transformers 6″, the franchise is far from over; Hasbro chief content officer Steven J. Davis said four more “Transformers” movie were in the pipeline, Variety reported in October. It’s fun to do a movie that 100 million people will see.
“I still have a great time. I have to pass the reins to someone else”, he said.
The director is already in pre-production for his fifth Transformers movie, according to a profile in Rolling Stone magazine. “They just want these big movies”, Bay said. [Abrams] told me, “You’re the only guy in that could do this.’ But it’s time to move on”.
Bay directed Transformers: Age Of Extinction, the fourth in the series and the first one without Shia Labeouf, in addition to its three predecessors.
That one more is likely to land in cinemas in the summer of 2017.
Mark Wahlberg, who appeared in the last installment “Transformers: Age of Extinction“, is expected to return.
Well, talking in a recent interview to promote the release of the much smaller in scale 13 Hours: The Secret Solders of Benghazi, the director confirmed that he will indeed be back for part five.
