Original Story 05.16.16:
The Transformers film franchise is going very strong under the direction of Michael Bay, so strong in fact that three more sequels are on the way. The first of the three is officially called Transformers: The Last Knight, according to an announcement made on Instagram this evening.
Here it is:
Mark Wahlberg is set to return. Isabela Moner (100 Things to Do Before High School) and Jerrod Carmichael (The Carmichael Show) are expected to join him in this sequel.
Transformers: The Last Knightis exec produced by Steven Spielberg and written by a TV-style writers room that includes Akiva Goldsman. The movie will be directed, as expected, by Michael Bay, who says The Last Knight will be his last entry in the series. Time will tell on that.
The next Transformers movie, the 2018 offering, will actually be a Bumblebee solo movie. That one will be followed by another sequel we don't know much about. Paramount is developing a shared universe that also involves GI Joe, MASK, and ROM: Spaceknighton top of the Autobots. It remains to be seen how all of these pieces will begin to fit together.
Transformers: The Last Knight is due out on June 23, 2017.
