There has been heavy speculation about the release date of Transfomers 5, which was initially proposed for a 2016 release. Goldner also reiterated some of the facts that had been previously revealed in a Deadline report. Michael Bay is confirmed to be directing the film and will be collaborating with Goldsman and a bunch of new writers. According to Deadline the writers will be brainstorming about ideas not only for the fifth instalment but possible multi-part sequels and spin-offs. Bay, whose next project, a movie based on the book, Thirteen Hours: A Firsthand Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi by Mitchell Zuckoff, hopes to get cracking on Transformers 5 right after he is done. The director would like the script and screenplay to be worked out by then so no time is wasted.

Transformers: Age of Extinction hit theaters on June 27, 2014.
