Michael Bay Returning For New Transformers Movie, 8 Years After His Last $600m Sequel Failed
Michael Bay’s comeback to the Transformers universe has been in the works since last year, as discussions between Bay and Paramount began about his return as a hands-on producer, potentially directing again as well. According to insider Anthony D’Alessandro, this reunion is driven by mutual necessity. With Bay’s exit, the Transformers series has faced a significant drop in box office earnings. Meanwhile, Bay has struggled to launch large-scale projects of his own. However, it’s important to note that this new Bay film is just one of several Transformers projects Paramount is considering, including a live-action movie from Josh Cooley, the director of Transformers One, and a possible crossover with the G.I. Joe franchise.
