While it does not look like the Transformers franchise is going anywhere, what is in question is the direction of the franchise after the most recent installment, The Last Knight. The only sure thing is that we’ll be getting a spin-off film based on Bumblebee that will be set in the ’80s, but other spin-offs and sequels will most likely be dependent on the success of The Last Knight.
Screen Rant recently asked producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura about the status of the future films and whether it will detail the remaining secrets about the history of the robots, replying,
“No, not necessarily. We have some ideas but that may or may not play out in the next movie.”
“We’re really waiting to see how the audience responds to this movie and what elements they really love because one of the things we found was – as filmmakers – that there was great freedom suddenly to break sort of the simplistic Decepticons vs. Autobots,” he added. “And now, Arthurian legend, now Knights, and now humans have a role, and that was really exciting for us so I think we want to keep pushing out. So I don’t think you can anticipate necessarily that we’ll do a movie in sequence.”
