Transformers: The Last Knight
Michael Bay is result theTransformersfranchise and it sounds like his frequent collaborator , Mark Wahlberg , will be stepping by with him . Wahlberg play Cade Yeager in both 2014’sTransformers : Age of Extinctionand the newly - releasedTransformers : The Last Knight , but has already made it fuck that he ’s not really concerned in continuing to appear in these robotic blockbuster if Bay is n’t part of them .
As such , The Last Knightlooks to be both Wahlberg ’s second robot - blockbusterandhis finalTransformersmoviealike . And although Paramount is assay to make something of aTransformersCinematic Universe , it ’s potential the studio apartment will have to notice a new human hero for audiences to follow , given Wahlberg ’s dismissive nature if Bay is n’t involved . It does give the series ' writers an option to research a whole range of different character , especially if they determine to go down a historical road with a futureTransformersmovie , like Ancient Rome for example .
During an sole consultation with Screen Rant , Wahlberg discussed his partnership with Bay ( which began with 2013’sPain & Gain ) and his eagerness to work with him again , when he was ab initio approach to come along inAge of Extinction . During the course of our discussion ( see below ) , it became clear-cut that now that Bay is done with the franchise , Wahlberg probably is too :
Screen Rant : Can we expect to see Cade again in the future , maybe the next mainline Transformers movie ?
Mark Wahlberg : I have no thought .
Screen Rant : Where do you think he would go ? Because he ’s reach a few highs in his life and his career as a Transformers pal .
Mark Wahlberg : Yeah , I do n’t know . That would be up to the king that be when they go into the think cooler and figure it out . But I really just signalize on to work with Michael . We had a great experience in Pain & Gain , so you cognize … if there ’s no Michael there ’s credibly no me .

The think tank Wahlberg is touch to is the writers room that Paramount adjust up when they announce their intentions for expand theTransformersuniverse . It ’s certainly plausible that ifThe Last Knightmakes a substantial profit , Paramount will set about to bring back Cade Yeager for a succeeding film . Hence , whether or not Wahlberg changes his mind might depend on the size of Paramount ’s offer , though it does n’t take care likely either way .
SinceTransformers : The Last Knightisn’t gainingfantastic reviews from critics , there is a hypothesis that it might not achieve the type of success that Paramount was looking for . This might even dial down their programme for an heroic universe like Marvel have successfully done . However , since they ’re pop off forwards with theBumblebeespin - off movie next year , The Last Knightwon’t check off the last that we see the Autobots and Decepticons on the big screen .
