In a recent interview, actor Mark Wahlberg, who was the lead star for “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” said that he thinks Michael Bay may likely return to direct “Transformers 5.”
But he admits in the same interview that he knows very little progress about the next film in the franchise because what he knows is that Akiva and the writers are already working on the script of the movie.
He added that he will most likely meet Michael Bay after they finish doing their current movies. Bay is still busy with his Benghazi drama “13 Hours,” while Wahlberg is completing filming for “Deepwater Horizon.”
Wahlberg is confirmed for two other “Transformers” movies which mean he is good to go until “Transformers 7.”
The director of “Transformers 5” will likely be announced officially by Paramount Pictures after the script has been finished by Akiva’s writing team. It could be Bay, it could be Jonathan Liebesman, but until Paramount Pictures makes the official confirmation, everything is just speculation at this time.
Late in May, reports came out that the “Transformers” writers’ room is pretty much complete as put together by both Akiva Goldsman and Michael Bay that assured the next installment of the very successful robot movie series of a good storylines as well as all future films or spinoff movies of the franchise.
