Transformers: The Last Knight (also known as Transformers 5) is an upcoming 2017 American science fiction action film based on the Transformers toy line created by Hasbro. It will be the fifth installment of the live-action Transformers film series, and a direct sequel to 2014's Transformers: Age of Extinction. The film is being directed by Michael Bay, with Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci reprising their roles from Age of Extinction alongside Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro from the first three movies. This will be the fifth and final Transformers film to be directed by Michael Bay.
The film is scheduled to be released on June 23, 2017 by Paramount Pictures.
In the absence of Optimus Prime, a battle for survival has commenced between the human race and the Transformers. Cade Yeager forms an alliance with Bumblebee, an English lord and an Oxford professor to learn why the Transformers keep coming back to Earth.
Mark Ryan will return to voice for The Last Knight.
In March 2015, Deadline.com reported that Paramount Pictures was in talks with Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind) to pitch new ideas for the Transformers franchise's future installments. The studio intends to do what James Cameron and 20th Century Fox have been doing to spawn three new Avatar sequels, and what Disney is doing to revive Star Wars with sequels and spin-offs. Paramount wants to have their own cinematic universe for Transformers similar to Marvel's Marvel Cinematic Universe and Warner Bros.' DC Extended Universe. Goldsman will be the head of the future projects and will work with franchise director Michael Bay, executive producer Steven Spielberg, and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura to organize a "writer's room" that will incubate ideas for potential Transformers sequels, prequels and spin-offs. The writer's room members include: Christina Hodson, Lindsey Beer, Andrew Barrer, and Gabriel Ferrari, (Ant-Man), Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), Art Marcum & Matt Holloway, Zak Penn (Pacific Rim: Uprising), Jeff Pinkner (The Amazing Spider-Man 2), Ken Nolan, and Geneva Robertson-Dworet. Kirkman left the room after just after one day to undergo throat surgery. In July 2015, Akiva Goldsman & Jeff Pinkner were announced as the film's screenwriters. However, on November 20, due to Goldsman's commitments creating a writer's room for G.I. Joe and Micronauts properties, Paramount began to negotiate with Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man), as well as Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down), to write the film. Writers Lindsey Beer and Geneva Robertson-Dworet were also brought aboard for writing duties.
