preview:

  • Steven Spielberg has agreed to direct the next film ‘Transformers’.
  • Michael Bay is in early talks to direct.
  • Jason Fuchs wrote the script.

With an eye on IP, Skydance, a division of Paramount Pictures and big toy Hasbro, are aiming to bring the ‘Transformers’ franchise back to the high-grossing potential of its first few live-action films, which began with the 2007 film of the same name.

And to help with that process, companies are turning the job closer to Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg will continue to be executive producer, but will take on a more creative role alongside fellow producer veteran Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

Jason Fuchs of ‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ wrote the script and it is said to be set in the present.

Aside from that, we can definitely expect the return of Optimus Prime and the Autobots as they continue their battle against the evil of the Decepticons while the disguised robots vie for victory.

Even though the creative team has been fleshed out, there are no casting details yet, so we don’t expect to see it until 2028 at the earliest.
