Transformers: The Last Knight
Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura enunciate a followup toTransformers : The Last Knightis being developed , along with theBumblebeesequel . You may recall that Paramount had originally intended forThe Last Knight- the 5th lively - actionTransformersmovie overall - to plain off a shared universe of prequels and sequel featuring the robots in camouflage . However , that was before the Michael Bay - helmed tentpole bombard with critic and let down at the box office in 2017,leaving the futurity of the franchise in dubiousness . It also put more insistence on last yr ’s ' fourscore - set prequelBumblebeeto reverse the serial ' downward trend and earn the property some much - need goodwill .
Fortunately , Bee ’s solo movie was up to the chore . AlthoughBumblebeemade less at the box authority than Bay ’s fiveTransformersfilms before it , the Travis Knight - helmed adventure was a hit with critic andultimately made its way to gainfulness , buoyed by the honorable word of mouth . It was thereafter report thatBumblebeewould swear out as a rebootfor theTransformersmovies at big - an melodic theme that seems to middling conflict with today ’s intelligence .

Speaking toCinema , Bonaventura ( who has develop all theTransformersmovies to particular date ) confirmed thata sequel toBumblebeeis in the works , as previously reported . However , he then revealed that a moving picture set in"the independent family serial follow the event of Transformers : The Last Knight"is also in active development decently now .
To be fair , there ’s room for interpretation in Bonaventura ’s input . The Last Knight"sequel " that ’s being developed might be more of a soft reboot than a strict continuation of the fifthTransformersmovie . That would n’t be anything new for the franchise either ; after all , 2014’sTransformers ; Age of Extinctionwas also a fond relaunch that focalise on a unlike group of humanity than Bay ’s originalTransformerstrilogy . That allege , The Last Knightincluded some major secret plan threads that were left swing for the continuation to clean up - namely , that world contains Unicron , Cybertron ’s ancient enemy . It ’s possible , then , that the review that Bonaventura refer will draw a bead on to build on that foundation and , at the same time , introduce yet another group of human heroes to partake the concealment with Optimus Prime and his fellow Cybertronians .
At this point , though , the largerTransformerscontinuity is so confusingthat fans might prefer it if Paramount merely focused its cause on theBumblebeesequel and gave up on trying to continueThe Last Knight ’s tale in any room at all . They might end up doing just that , if they decide that reviving their initial plans for a share world is more difficulty than it ’s worth . On the other paw , there are no doubt those who desire to see the payoff toTransformers : The Last Knight ’s Unicron tantalization , specially since Bay is no longer working on the franchise . For now , we ’ll just have to wait and see what find .
