Michael Bay has confirmed that he will return to direct the fifth installment in the “Transformers” franchise for Paramount.
Bay broke the news to Rolling Stone, after months of speculation, while promoting his new war movie “13 Hours.”
This past spring, the studio announced it would be assembling a writers room to build its new “Transformers” universe that would include spin-off pics along new installments in the franchise. The room was overseen by Akiva Goldsman with the studio recently tapping Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (“Iron Man”) along with Ken Nolan (“Black Hawk Down”) to write the script.
Mark Wahlberg, who appeared in the last installment, is expected to return and Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing. Insiders had expected that Bay would return to the franchise but the director has only now committed with his new movie almost out the door.
