Age of Extinction Sequel Release Pushed To 2017?
The actor put a whole lot of speculation about his exiting the franchise with director Michael Bay to rest, while speaking to MTV on December 18.
"Yeah, I committed to doing a couple more," he said, when asked about the sequel to Age of Extinction and his contract with the studio.
While he confirmed his involvement he didn't give away information about Bay's association with the film.
"I can't speak for Mr. Bay, but something tells me we'll be on the set soon," Wahlberg said.
What'd thrown the production of the movie into a state of limbo is director Michael Bay recently ditching the franchise. On August 11, IndieWire reported that Bay had hinted at the fact that he might not be as keen on directing the sequel to Age of Extinction. The revelation came from an MTV interview, the director did just after wrapping work on Transformers 4. "There's a lot that's unexplored, but that's for the next director to figure out," he said. Bay had previously stated that if he sticks with the franchise the new movie will be probably be as long as Age of Extinction.
Transformers: Age of Extinction hit theaters on June 27, 2014.
