It’s been mostly quiet on the “Transformers” front after the less-than-stellar box office performances of “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” and “Transformers One,” but there is now word that Paramount Pictures is putting together a heap of new “Transformers” movies into development including one that may coax Michael Bay back to direct.
This franchise update comes from Puck News, which recently mentioned Denis Villeneuve was up for the “Bond 26” gig, that reiterated existing plans for a “Transformers” crossover with “G.I. Joe” characters/universe (something that has been teased for ages and Chris Hemsworth attached as the lead of the next “Joe” movie, potentially as Chuckles) along with a project for Bay, another live-action one with “Transformers One” director Josh Cooley at the helm, and two other mystery projects.

Five feature films in active development is quite the feat, and we shouldn’t be entirely shocked if some of these ideas don’t make it to the finish line, as without greenlights from Paramount, nothing is 100% happening, just yet. However, the crossover idea with “G.I. Joe” is great, just maybe a decade too late. Then again, a global audience could prove us wrong, and it could make a bundle of dough.
Bay, of course, has been directing installments in the “Transformers” saga since the original from 2007 alongside sequels “Revenge of The Fallen,” “Dark of The Moon,” “Age of Extinction,” and lastly “The Last Knight” before moving on to make things like “6 Underground“ and “Ambulance.”
That original cast included Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro, and Tyrese Gibson. Eventually, the franchise leads would expand to include folks like Mark Wahlberg, John Cena, Hailee Steinfeld, Anthony Ramos, and Dominique Fishback.
Could this Bay movie be a reset, or a new stage in the franchise? Perhaps, but we’ll have to wait a little longer before concrete plot information and details on these “Transformers” movies come to us.
