Although the "Transformers" movie has experienced two years of silence, but the new hope belonging to the fans of the Transformers series has finally arrived, not long ago, the 7th Transformers live-action movie "Transformers: Beast Alliance" was confirmed, and now, a new 8th live-action movie has also been exposed by foreign media, this movie is not yet named, we call it "Transformers 8" for the time being. Of course, the numbers only represent that it belongs to the first few parts of the live-action series, and do not have a plot connection.
This "Transformers 8" has been determined by Marco Ramirez, the screenwriter of "Women's Prison", "Defenders League", "New Yin and Yang Demon World" as one of the screenwriters, and set the director of "Street Drag Racing" Anjale Manuel Soto as the director, it is worth mentioning, this director was also recently set by Warner as the director of the new superhero movie "Blue Beetle", plus the new "Transformers 8", the new director career is about to take off.
This movie will have nothing to do with the previous "Transformers", which means that the film will be an independent worldview, so far "Transformers" has produced 6 live-action movies, 5-part films directed by Michael Bay, and "Transformers 6", which is "Bumblebee", but "Bumblebee" will restart the series, and "Transformers 7" - "Transformers: Beast Alliance" in production has been determined to be in the same worldview as "Bumblebee".
So far, there have been 4 or 3 new Transformers movies that have been reported—
1. "Transformers: Beast Alliance", maintaining the same world view as "Bumblebee", the story will introduce "Beast Wars" characters such as Captain Chimpanzee and Tyrannosaurus Rex, the film is directed by Stephen Kapoor Jr., director of "Quiddi 2", the film will officially start filming in July, and is currently scheduled to be released on June 24, 2022.
2, the latest exposure of this unnamed "Transformers 8".
3, an equally unnamed animated film, it is not clear whether the film will maintain the same world view as the live-action version, only that the film will tell the history of Cybertron, Optimus Prime and Wei Zhentian love-hate relationship. The film's director is Josh Kurey, director of Toy Story 4, and the exact release date of the film is unknown.
(4), "Bumblebee 2", the current situation about "Bumblebee 2" is not clear, there have been many reports about "Bumblebee 2", especially the story will take the mode of two male protagonists, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are the protagonists, but Paramount did not give a clear "Bumblebee 2" production time and release date, so there is a certain possibility that the story of "Bumblebee 2" will be integrated into "Transformers: Beast Alliance".
The emergence of "Transformers 8" has enriched the "Transformers" cinematic universe, and now that Marvel and DC movies are about to introduce a multiverse, perhaps Paramount also wants to further expand the most heavyweight series at hand, with various independent world views and main world views advancing in parallel. Of course, people familiar with the classic animation of "Transformers" should also know that if the "Transformers" movie also plays time travel, the multiverse interaction will not be more new, after all, the "War of the Beasts" or "Super Warriors" and "Beast Man" in the animation involves traveling through time and space, and I don't know if we will see similar plots in the upcoming "Transformers" movies.
Anyway, we've finally seen that after Michael Bay, the new Transformers series will set sail.
