Four ‘Transformers’ Films Planned Over Next 10 Years, Cohesive Story Planned

We already know that Transformers 5 is in the works at Paramount Pictures, and Michael Bay is in early talks to come back and direct yet again, though the filmmaker himself said they’re still working out specifics and nothing is official yet.

The future of the Transformers franchise is being mapped out for the next decade.

In news that the public has surely been clamoring for, Hasbro Studios president Stephen J. Davis confirmed that the company has laid out the plans for Transformers 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Following the news that a Transformers 5 is on the way along with an animated “origin story” film set on Cybertron, comes word today that you can expect a whole lot more Transformers movies in the next 10 years in addition to those. And he further expanded upon what the Transformers writer’s room has been up to over the course of the past three months.

Are you excited to see more Transformers on the big screen?

Of course this is all because Transformers fans want more, but it doesn’t hurt that the previous movies have rung up almost $4 billion in box office receipts worldwide since 2007. Yet again it has also been said that this will be the last Transformers movie Bay will direct, but that doesn’t mean the franchise won’t continue after that. That’s four live-action Transformers movies planned for the next ten years, until 2025. “In fact, we just finished, as a few of you may have read, just an incredible experience”. A director is yet to be confirmed, although the film, which begins shooting next year, will see the return of Age of Extinction star Mark Wahlberg. Similarly we are doing the same in television and digital.

Akiva Goldsman, whose numerous screenwriting credits include The Da Vinci Code, A lovely Mind and I Am Legend, heads up the “writers’ room”, joined by Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead comic book series, and Lost/The awesome Spider-Man 2 scribe Jeff Pinkner.
