"Transformers: Age of Extinction" took a heavy beating from critics and went home with a couple of Razzies, but the movie grossed over $1 billion worldwide, so a new sequel was, for obvious reasons, inevitable. Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner has confirmed that "Transformers 5" is moving forward for a 2017 release and that the new installment is part of a brand new strategic plan for the franchise which is intended to become a Marvel-like shared universe with several sequels and spinoffs:
"Our plan with the studio and filmmakers you may have heard some writers being hired and we have in fact brought in Akiva Goldsman to lead a group of writers to really create a strategic plan around Transformers. We think there are any number of stories to be told from the brand that has been around for 30 years with amazing canon and mythology. We would expect the sequel to the Transformers movie [TF4] to happen in 2017."The series transformation will be handled by screenwriter Akiva Goldsman ("A Beautiful Mind", "Angels & Demons"). Michael Bay is currently busy filming the Benghazi film "13 Hours", but he's expected to return at the helm of "Transformers 5".
