Michael Bay Returning To Helm Fifth Consecutive TRANSFORMERS Film

Michael Bay is probably the bane of a lot of movie critics, but I’m guessing that doesn’t phase him in the very least. The past two years have been gracious to Bay since cooking up a global billion dollar success story with Transformers: Age Of Extinction, the fourth movie in a growing franchise that now sees actor Mark Wahlberg returning for the fifth.

Alas, sure Bay has been busy with the newly released 13 Hours and current post-production remaining for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out Of The Shadows this summer as producer. Of course though, who better to pick up the slack than Bay himself who just confirmed he’ll be returning to the director’s chair?

So what does this mean for the next film? Will he change things up a bit more to improve how the stoies are forumlated and told? Who knows? Bay is going to do Bay regardless and if what worked for him before works for him now upon filming, we shouldn’t be surprised.

Iron Man writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway are writing the script with Black Hawk Down scribe Ken Nolan while Akiva Goldsman oversees a writer room that will map out at least four more sequels between now and 2026. Stay tuned for more info!
