Transformers 5 is slated to hit the theatres in 2016 but with lots of unexpected changes of course. It is rumoured veteran director Michael Bay is leaving as he will be busy with another project, his usual documentaries, and so no longer Transformers films will be directed by him.
Michael had been prominent in Transformers, all the first four instalments, and also in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Talking to the USA Today recently he said there is a new chapter and also a new direction in movies that he wants to direct. He has got lot of stories to tell and things to him are like flexing new muscles. Presently he is working on upcoming elephant documentary.
It is also being speculated Mark Wahlberg too will be taking an exit path. He was seen in the lead role in Transformers: Age of Extinction. Cinema Blend writes his walking out from the fifth instalment is obvious as he was brought in the film due to Michael’s decision.
It is said Megan Fox will be returning back to the fifth film in Hasbro’s giant-size robot franchise, but only if her former co-star Shia LaBeouf too makes a comeback. It is time to see whether this can be possible as lately the insane acting of Shia is not hidden by anyone.
In an interview with MoviePilot.com the former Mikaela Banes said she is not very sure of returning back to the movie, but it everyone is comfortable seeing Shia and her partnering up, she may be in.
If believed to a rumor published on Yahoo! News recently, the next Transformers movie will follow exploits of Maximals and Predacons, which would probably be like the Dinobots in Transformers: Age of Extinction.
Meanwhile, it is also being speculated that the plot may revolve around Beast Wars era, which will take place in the future and that too in another planet.
Earlier in June this year Paramount Pictures Senior Vice President Edward Ryan said the premiere of Transformers 5 will happen on June 24, 2016. For this the production house need to hurry up compiling the staff list and complete it before the end of this year. More to this, the pressure may be originating due to skyrocketed success of Age of Extinction.
However, among all these, it is being said the original production will be screenplay writer Ehren Kruger and Peter Cullen, who will give voice to Optimus Prime. The voice for Vector Prime will be done by Liam Neeson.
Vector is an ancient Autobot having power over time as well as space.
Stay tuned for more updates on Transformers 5 but it is very much sure that the movie will excite everyone with its casts, new director and of course plot.
