If you were looking forward to the future adventures of the “robots in disguise” you might be disappointed by this latest news. Transformers 7 has been undated from its previous date of June 28, 2019.
Taking its place on that date is the Tiffany Haddish comedy Limited Partners. Paramount had started a writer’s room led by Akiva Goldsman to hammer out future iterations of Transformers movies. The spinoff Bumblebee, whose clips were well-received at CinemaCon, comes out on December 21 directed by Travis Knight. Michael Bay has hinted that Transformers: The Last Knight was his final stint in the director’s chair for a Transformers movie. Transformers 7 was put in as a placeholder on the calendar years ago, and the studio is rebooting the entire franchise in the direction of Bumblebee.
While this doesn’t mean the franchise is dead, it does indicate that it will be quite awhile until we see another installment.
