Will there be a Transformers 8? The latest episode of the saga was released on June 7 and attracted more than 1.1 million curious people in France. This 7th opus of the saga was directed by Steven Caple Jr., who replaced Michael Bay (writer of the first 5 films) and Travis Knight, who signed on to spin-off the yellow Autobot.
A franchise that brought in $4.8 billion at the worldwide box office (to which we can add the $458 million made worldwide by the last installment), will it continue its adventure in the cinema with an 8th film? The answer is yes! Announced in April 2020, Transformers One will hit theaters on September 11, 2024.
However, it won’t be a live-action feature film, but an animated film directed by Josh Cooley, who wrote Toy Story 4. Original Michael Bay movies.
This time, Earth will not be the playground of Autobots and Decepticons. The story takes us to Cybertron, the home planet of the Transformers. The story will particularly explore the relationship between the protagonist Optimus Prime and the antagonist Megatron.
In the meantime, if you haven’t seen Rise of the Beasts yet, it’s available on DVD, Blu-ray and VOD. This part takes place in the middle of the 90s and takes us to the four corners of the earth. A brand new faction of Transformers robots – the Maximals – will join the Autobots in their eternal battle against the Decepticons.
moreover, (spoiler alert)The ending of Rise of the Beasts heralds an upcoming crossover between the Transformers and GI Joe franchises. Will the super soldiers be called upon to help the Autobots continue their war against the Decepticons in an explosive collaboration? The mystery is still complete. Moreover, this is not the first time that the idea of a shared universe around Hasbro licenses has been mentioned. This time, it seems, the project is coming to an end.
