‘Transformers’: Hasbro Confirms Four More Films Over The Next 10 Years

Did “Transformers: Age of Extinction” leave you dying for more of Michael Bay’s robot alien movies? If so, you’re in luck.

In what is categorically great news for stunt people and the explosives industry, it’s now official: there will be not one, not two, not three (yep, we’re going to count it for maximum dramatic effect), but FOUR more “Transformers” films. Praise Optimus!

According to Hasbro Studios president Stephen Davis, the additional four films will roll out (yeah!) over the next decade.

“You’re going to see a new ‘Transformers’ movie coming from Hasbro and Paramount and Michael Bay and our other partners,” Davis said at the MIP Junior conference in Cannes, France on Saturday. “In fact, we just finished, as some of you may have read, just an incredible experience. We decided that we wanted to plot out the next 10 years of the ‘Transformers’ franchise, so we got together in a room over a three-month period of time. Nine of some of the most creative writers I have ever worked with, shepherded by Akiva Goldsman, who many of you may know won an Academy Award for A Beautiful Mind and written a bunch of great movies. And they plotted out the next 10 years of ‘Transformers.’

“Similarly, we are doing the same in television and in digital. So stay tuned, ‘Transformers 5’ is on its way, and 6 and 7 and 8,” he continued.

2014’s “Transformers: Age of Extinction” (the first in the franchise to star Mark Wahlberg instead of Shia LaBeouf) grossed more than $1 billion worldwide.
